It's quite simple. New manager doesn't really fancy the player. Player doesn't like that because player wants to play. Ex-manager wants player and can offer all sorts of goodies. Agreement reached between two clubs.
What's so difficult to get?
I guess those stats reflect what happens when you run around like a headless chicken until you finally pass the ball to someone who knows what to do with it. But even saying that. Where the hell is our midfield now.So he’s off if Romano is correct.
Not sure how we’ll replace 0 goals, 3 assists, 17% shooting accuracy, 55% tackles won and 33% crossing accuracy but I guess TB’s data does.
Yep.. it maybe not to the same level, but this one has overtures of letting Muzza leave under Poyet, then repenting at leisure.I’m absolutely f***ing gutted about this. Honestly do not understand this move in the slightest. Gutted.
Second. They undersold Marc Leonard too - Birmingham fans are still wondering how they mugged us. Perhaps the club's not keen on Scots!First decision the club has got wrong this window. Gutted.
Soi, it turns out that you could have got FOUR Billy Gilmours for your £50m today, and still had over £5m change to keep them all in deep-fried pizza for the rest of their lives.There is no chance we are letting him go for any less than £50m.
different type of player, but I guess we all agree that as good a player as Caicedo is, he was never really worth 115m....... was great we had Liverpool and clueless tool Boehly both bidding against each other.Caicedo bossed midfields defensively for us. Compare his stats on sofascore to Gilmour. Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all wanted Caicedo. He was a huge component in driving us to top 6, through pace, power, tackling, covering. How many times could we say Gilmour bossed CM for entire PL games?
He played in a two in midfield -- you might want to call it a double pivot. His partner in midfield racked up goals, assists and pre-assists galore. Billy managed a sprightly one assist, and that's being generous (as the Newcastle goalie spilled his shot to Fergie).You spent the entire last season moaning about the lack of replacement for Caicedo, who in 22/23 - according to the same site - scored 1 goal, 1 assist, only managed to 50% tackles won and 47% crossing accuracy.
Bissouma had one or two lucky hits out of too many attempts, Caicedo scored two goals, Stephens was no goal machine in the PL, your old favorite Liam Bridcutt has scored five goals in 400 games or something. Why are people expecting defensive midfielders to score a bunch of goals? It has never been the case. Its one of the most goal shy positions in football, central defenders included.
Geez.
