yeah i agree, it is a bit mental. But then again he’s just signed the contract and will probably play very well in the championship, so they probably feel they have a remit to push for a bit extra, given we’ve just forked out £30M for a player who has actually proven themselves in the championship.
because players tend to cost more from english teams than they do from argentine teams. any player who’s scored a few goals in the pl would see their value go up
southampton midfielder, been one of their better players since he joined in january, getting four goals and an assist
joined saints for €13 and a bit million, so we’d probably be looking towards the
€20M end of the spectrum
Question is if we sign him where does that leave us with regards to the glut of central midfielders we have. we must replace caicedo if he goes, thought out of the two mac would be the one we replaced internally. already signed one pretty much, bring in frattesi and we’ll still need a caicedo...
absolutely dire first half. can take undav off all we like (and we should) but our problem is the midfield. groß and gilmour can’t hack the physicality. long second half ahead
maybe one or two but they’ll be the senior pros. absolutely no justification for giving a 19 year old with 24 pl appearances that sort of money. not for us, anyway
Dortmund defensive midfielder leaving on a free at the seasons end. has apparently completed a medical for a premier league club, with us named as a possible destination
can’t see it being leicester given they don’t know what division they’ll be in a and it feels a little less ‘galactico’...
can see sima coming back into the fold. seems like RDZ’s sort of player, tall, rangy, quite quick and a decent return in such an awful team. would also give us another option on the right, i don’t really see buonanotte as a right winger, and further CF cover, needed if undav is moved on
was obvious we needed that extra man in midfield. everton cleared pretty much every cross we threw at them, so we should’ve been looking for more cutbacks. quite unlucky hitting the bar twice as well. if we’d scored then it could’ve been a different game, no danger of them losing anything by the...
can definitely see a new right back. we also don’t need to invest that much in a new left back who’ll just be cover. in fact, the ideal scenario would be to buy a player who can cover both left centre back and left back
he is definitely pl quality, just probably ‘below 12th’ kind of quality. not great defensively, not the most fantastic crosser and has lost a lot of his pace with that injury. he isn’t inadequate or anything, right back would just be a good area to upgrade on
we constantly talk about squad depth in terms of bodies, talk about game management and having established quality to bring on. milner ticks all three boxes and we don’t have to pay a penny. what’s not to like?
why would we? fair enough if watford have something to play for but they don’t. and fair enough if watford had rejected our offer and all our fans went on social media claiming that watford were denying him of his dream of playing at a certain level, but again this isn’t what happened. in any...
