Mats Hummels

[Eeyore]

This was my BVB fans response when I said we were linked..

I always say that the best way to gauge whether a player is a decent signing is to see what the previous club's fans think. Most tend to give honest responses.

Is there any concrete evidence we are in for this bloke anyway ?

 

[Eeyore]

Waiting for this to resolve is like watching paint dry.

Matt paint.

But if we sign him folk will get a bit emulsional about it,

Sander Berger would have been a better option.

I remember there being a discussion on the Guardian FW Podcast when they were previewing the EUROs, talking about the omission of Hummels from the German squad (and the reasons why). I obviously had no idea at the time that we would be linked with him, but there is certainly SOMETHING in his character that could be problematic. This is from a GOAL article about him:-

I’d quite like to see him sign for Marseille, give RDZ a taste of his own medicine

Apologies for the lack of a paint based pun.

I wonder what Napoli think of Gilmour then? A 50m midfield maestro or a 15m goalless lightweight?

Do we really need a 78 year old player?

I'm pleased you raised this and didnt just gloss over the fact.

He's not quick, but great on the ball and in the air, exactly what it says on the tin.

No need to get emulsional about it. Just brush it off.

Fair enough, I'll get my under-coat.....

Pascal Gloss?




I'll get me coat!

Deal’s off - he’s just found out we’re not sponsored by Sandtex anymore.

Need a central defender... and this is a good, cheap one. 78 or not.

 

[hughfromalice]

Topic focus - I wish people would stop spraying these paint jokes around. Can it and put a lid on it guys! Hope I'm not stirring by saying this.

Oh well, from what people have been saying he’s a bit of a NOBO anyway.

No, we’re talking about Matt Hummels

As I pointed out earlier in the thread.

Would be an intriguing signing but definitely a risk with a 31 year old coach.

Not necessarily. We have a very young, inexperienced squad on the whole. If Hummels is brought in I would imagine his role would be as a mentor to a lot of the players. Perhaps a similar role that Lallana had with De Zerbi. Definitely worth a punt.

 

[BrickTamland]

These puns are so boring.

I’d rather watch paint dry

What song is he going to sign when he sings?

A cover version of ‘Paint it Black’ by White Stripes?
