[Albion] Older ‘experienced pro’ signing?

[Mad as my Mother]

Maybe we are hijacking Millwall?

His injury record puts me off.

23/24	Adductor injury	17 days	2
23/24	Hamstring injury	29 days	6
23/24	Hamstring injury	54 days	13

Looks perfect for us, fit straight in.

The perfect Lallana replacement

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Was hoping for Faustino Asprilla

 

[Machiavelli]

If we actually had the mythical no dick head policy, then Hummels would definitely fail it.

Don't think you've been paying attention to Lundstram

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Now we have Dunk, Gross and Veltman in addition to Welbeck and Milner, this seems a little uneccessary? But who knows, we might get a gem

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Maybe we are hijacking Millwall?

Well known hothead Balotelli is tailor made for Millwall l reckon.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I'd be very surprised if he retires.

Should have said chose to leave, because there was stuff about too much time away from his family….

 

[US Seagull]

Maybe we are hijacking Millwall?

Am I mad in thinking he'd be a good target for Wrexham? You know he'd love the lime light of being on a successful TV show.

 

[macbeth]

højbjerg possibly leaving spurs in the summer?

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I've always assumed that, with Milner and Lallana in particular, the point was less that they're old and experienced in general, but more that they'd been senior players in teams that have actually developed and won things.

 

[Pliny the Gull]

I get the thinking old heads can help the younger players yet do I want to watch Milner play on a Saturday, not really.

For some reason I have never felt comfortable with this Lallana/Milner big experience thing from the start. Days of I used to clean the boots have gone. Young players now need a bit more encouragement.
Not sure Trossard wanted to get out like Cucarella, or was quickly isolated?
Fati the same IMO.
Might be wrong but the unsettled the balance when experience was brought in

 

[kelvinnewman]

How about Mats Hummels

 

[GT49er]

I think he chose to retire rather than us letting him go. He would still be with us otherwise……

Retired? - or signing for Southampton?

 

[AK74]

Based purely on the thread title, Cynthia Payne or Heidi Fleiss could still do a job.

 

[Hugo Rune]

We couldn’t……..could we?

 

[Mancgull]

Doubt it very much. Wages.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Guess our ageing demographic is still thinking in ye oldene ways where your club retained your best players from season to season and upgraded maybe one or two players in the summer, one of whom may or may not have been a marquee signing. Unless your owner is a petro-state those days are gone forever

 

[Dave the OAP]

We need to find a big texican to go with our new texican manager

Y’all know it



Yeeeeehawww

 

[MJsGhost]

We couldn’t……..could we?

Did you miss my scoop above?!

I can imagine the ink is drying on the contracts right about now

How about a cheeky enquiry for Joshua Kimmich? Just a year left on his Bayern contract and rumours are that he could be available... Can cover RB very well indeed, though prefers CDM.

Aside from the c £30m (+WAGES) required for a 29 yr old with little/no resale value and reported interest from Barcelona and Arsenal, what's not to like?!

Once we have announced Hurzeler and Agent Gross has had a word at the Euros, it'll basically just be a case of when, not if. Yeah?
