  1. 4 million fee has been discussed. Not the worst punt, I guess. Not the best, either. The type of fullback/winger we've all seen. Fast as fuck, no end product. Seems to have improved defensively a little during Copa America, but still committed a foolish handball v Colombia and got a previously-mentioned stone-cold idiotic red card v Paraguay. So not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, then. Aye if you want to see as ridiculous a second booking as you've ever seen....
  2. He's not good enough at taking people on to be a winger though. Much better overlapping as a fullback. So he's either a really defensive winger, or a really attacking full back. I'm assuming we'd prefer the latter but you never know.
  3. No. He's like an extreme version of Janmaat. Even worse at actual positional defensive stuff, but about 50% FASTER. Fast fast fast.
  4. Would he work as just a winger then ? Does he offer a lot going forward, I must admit to knowing next to nothing about his abilities. Maybe, but I doubt it. Personally, I just think he's a fairly useless one dimensional footballer. He'll get past his man a few times until everyone realises what he is. Basically the type of player I hate. The type of player that typifies why UK/US player development is total shit. Ameritoon claims he's improved recently, and I've not exactly been religiously watching him play, so maybe what I'm saying is nonsense. But! I distinctly recall Deuce trying to claim Freddy Adu wasn't utter shit, so I'm taking what Ameritoon says with a grain of salt.
  5. Also, he is an idiot. http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2016/6/11/11910780/watch-deandre-yedlin-sent-off-vs-paraguay-after-receiving-two-yellow
  6. He's played 39 games for the US. It's not like he's made 1 appearance in an Ireland friendly. Half the time he ends up on the wing because he can't defend for shit and is just fast.
  7. Personally, I reckon there's a fair gap between "signing anyone" and signing a broken-legged Alan Judge. Sure, that's why I said he's a questionable signing but I'm hoping for others. But who has proposed that we should be going round and "signing anyone"? And who are these anyones you refer to? We'd probably not get Aguero right now, but I can't say I believe it to be all that adventurous to say we should be putting in competitive bids for the likes of Knockaert, should we rate him.

  9. I don't really believe that Sheffield Wednesday wouldn't accept the right bid for anyone. Anyway, it's more whether you believe the reports that we were putting in realistic bids (~£10m) or stupid bids that we know will be rejected. Given our history, and ownership, my guess it's the latter.
  10. Or he's being hamstrung by the board and having his options narrowed? What evidence do you have to suggest that? If Rafa started to get fucked about, he'd leave. He's still here, so we can only presume all is okay. I mean, we've not invested anything so far this window, and might be looking at a £20m odd profit, depending upon what fees are to be believed. There's no reason we couldn't be putting in proper offers for the likes of Knockaert/Forestierieriei et al. I also really don’t get this nonsense about Rafa being the world’s most principled man, who would kick up a fuss immediately should he not get his way. If he was all that principled, he wouldn’t be here in the first place. p.s. I have zero opinion on this actual transfer. Nee fucking idea who this marra is.
  11. Feel like people would be much happier if his name was Alano Judginho. Pretentious bastards.
  12. Morata has looked pretty filthy too
  13. Sociedad crappy, or Real Madrid going to be shit hot?
  14. They've got a giant striker from Chelsea on loan though, and he's scored 4 goals already. 4-0 loss. (although I guess the odds are that most teams we face will have a Chelsea player on loan)

  16. Our game away to Watford last time round says otherwise, mind. In televised he says UK and foreign TV. but people dont know if it's on foreign tv, and therefore ask if there are streams... Nufc.com gets all the info for foreign TV. Yes, there are lots of sources of this kind of information. This thread is another source. That's why people ask...
