Crucial we stick to a 3 man CB system. Can Hayden play RWB? Lol?

Lolloool Ashley hanging him out be funny as fuck

Sarr would have been my preferred option.

So all of you guys who are in the burn it all down camp, do you all want Longstaff to get hurt so it fucks up Ashley making a sale and stunts the local kid's career?

I'm not, just merely stating the facts.

"Benitez did not reject the idea at first but he was not convinced about ploughing a big fee into the striker knowing that other areas needed improving." From the Chronicle, which backs up what I said on the previous page. Benitez felt all that money could be spread across multiple positions, and CF was the least of his concerns if he could sign Rondon for good. Which is absolutely within his right and experience to think that.

Every single day this forum has gotten stranger and stranger over the past few months. Quite sad.

How many goals/assists did Almiron get last season? 12 goals dunno how many assists. What’s your point? Apologies, I meant for us. It was 0/0. Point is stats are garbage in isolation. I kinda just answered this without seeing your post. My point about the stats is they’ve signed this guy for bid money to be our main striker and gave him the number 9 shirt but looking at his career stats I’m just wondering what they’ve seen in scouting him. If you read any of the stuff about him everyone is saying that he's got all the tools to finally take the step in being the central striker and being the main man. He was in his teenage years in Austria on loan after moving over from Brazil, massively homesick and had tough time settling in.

He was 19 and 20 those seasons though man, not every striker is banging them in for fun at those younger ages?

I'm very worried if he's been signed as the central striker. He's really got to prove the price and play to his potential really. He's going to need help, so it's Almiron picking up where he left off and hopefully another winger or striker capable of getting goals or creating problems for the opposition via pace or strength. But yeah, totally should be a concern mate.

I don't. I just miss Rafa.

Rafa thought he was too expensive, but rated him. Would have rather spent the money on Rondon and other players to improve the squad. Would have been fine signing him + Rondon if i recall from older articles.

Seems like he's a good guy as well, read some things that he's really just focused on football and spending time with his family - ala Almiron. More of those type of characters please. Looking forward to seeing how he does, his dribbling-passing and technical ability could be very exciting. Just needs to bang in goals as the central striker.

6 year deal, #9 shirt. holy shit.

I'm shook that we legit spent 40m euros on someone.

Look forward to seeing him score goals in front of an empty gallowgate end

The press boys have been saying that we won't be doing the up front in full anymore and will pay installments to get more deals done this window. However, if we do pay this up front then, we'll know that we'll not be sending much else this window!

no way are paying this transfer up front

i can only imagine Bruce has a pretty weak pay off and a very easy contract that MA could terminate if he's not doing the business and getting us to 17th

Sean is getting in the way of Jacky Colbz from Killingworth from getting into the team.

more money money money money money...money. stepping stone to next place. personal desire to play in the PL on biggest stage to help make more money in the future and go to a bigger club? blind hope that you've got so much self confidence in one self that you could be a game changer and lift the club up yourself? money?

Jamaal said after the West Ham friendly that we switched to a 3 at the back which suited the team and players much better. I have to assume the players told Bruce this or Bruce was informed of such if he wasn't paying attention to our better performances. But instead of that 5-2-3 / 3-4-3 whatever it was they played a more 5-3-2 with 2 out and out strikers in the friendl

Isn’t he meant to be a pretty decent dribbler with a pretty good success rate? So assuming he does more of that he’ll be able to create some of his own chances? Was reading a bit on his stats. He scored like double digit in all comps too.

The joe linton jokes hopefully end after he signs.
