I personally think Darwin Nunez has huge potential for a player that is only 22 and the club obviously see that which is why they are going back in for him.
Unfortunately I don't think we will get him, but if we did it would be a massive coup for the club and as fans we should enjoy the fact...
I don't think you need to worry about the clubs liquidity, its Tony's money and if he did see fit to spend £30 million on a player then I am pretty confident that he would know what he is doing! He has a very sound track record in business and has done a tremendous job of managing the club after...
The process of checking someones COVID passport and ID should take 10 seconds, however I suspect the main problem was that this was the first ticketless league game. This probably led to the queues backing up, as people couldn't work out how to scan their phones. If the club had checked...
Ive been to the Riazor a few times as my Wifes family is from Coruna, last time I was in with their Ultras who were a pretty mad bunch!
It's so sad to see the decline of a once great club, their local derby is now with Celta Vigo B not the Celta Vigo first team! Hopefully they can find a way...
It did seem to be a completely baffling selection however to be fair to Potter sometimes his odd selections actually do end up working! He's certainly not scared to take risks, sometimes it comes off and sometimes its a complete disaster.
It's not just a Russian thing, pretty much all countries are still involved in espionage and its an accepted international practice for countries to send spies abroad disguised as diplomats.
Most of the time countries turn a blind eye to what goes on within embassies because they are all doing...
These types of situations do tend to have a habit of dragging on though don't they. The owners of clubs are successful businessmen, often with big egos, who I would imagine don't like the idea of being held to ransom by players that are still under contract.
I heard an interview with the Celtic manager on radio 5 live this morning where he was talking about the Edouard. He said that he didn't want to keep players at the club that don't want to be there, and when asked specifically if Edouard was happy to stay he said 'you would have to ask the...
This is exactly my point, you are taking two elements, that he plays for Celtic and he's out of form as evidence that he's not up to it which is an overly simplistic way of looking at a players potential. As a case in point remember Moussa Dembélé? He was on our radar around 2017/2018, at the...
The thing is, like most on this board, its likely that you know next to nothing! Nothing about the complexity of the transfer market, what players are worth and how to structure deals. You don't have the benefit of a scouting department, scouting network and advanced data analysis to identify...
If he had smashed in 20/30 goals last season then he would be completely out of our price range. We are looking for players with potential because we can't afford the finished article.
Youssef En-Nesyri, had a change of heart when just about to fly to England to sign for us. Last season bagged 24 goals from 52 appearances for Sevilla.
No he had one season at Man City and was loaned to Valencia who had an obligation to buy and did at the end of the loan period.
the 9 in 32 was in the premier league, he scored 23 in 49 in all competitions including 5 in the champions league!
Him and Aguero had a pretty unstoppable partnership...
The whole thread is about potentially buying a striker 'Darwin Nunez' because the club are looking to strengthen in that area. I haven't swerved the fact that we need more goals from midfield, its just not relevant to this discussion.
Of course Id like us to score more goals from midfield! Id...
Negredo scored 23 from 48 appearances and Man City won the league and then sold him on for £10 million profit!
Who's to say that bringing players in to those positions wasn't also a contributory factor in Ageuro's return to form...
Well i am glad that the club don't have such a defeatist attitude and by most accounts seem to be working hard to strengthen in that area!
It's not bedwetting pointing out that there is an area of the squad that we could do with strengthening.
Actually In the summer of 2013 Man City brought Alvaro Negredo and Stevan Jovetić, they spent a fortune on strengthening the attack!
Aguero stayed but I'm not suggesting for one minute that we replace Maupay or Wellbeck, we need strength in depth and competition for places upfront.
