Other clubs' transfers

Solid plan tbf. Worked well for German clubs. Built in buy-back clauses as well I imagine, so they’re guaranteed a profit if they do well.

 

 

 


Was listening to some podcast earlier and they were saying they poached the city academy guy recently so it makes sense and they’re not doing it blind. High risk, high reward I guess. Lavia (sp?) looks a find already. 
 

Still feel they’ll miss having one or two more older heads in the squad.

Brendon going a bit Scott Parker in his after match quotes:

 

"I feel for them because they have given absolutely everything. With the greatest respect, we have not had the help in the market this team needed. But it is just a case of pushing on once this window closes.

Sixth fullback. They’ve just had zero plan all window.

This

 

People trying to justify it because they let X number of players go. Signing 6 full backs, 3 each side (assuming Aurier signs) is not normal and doesn't seem like it's part of a plan

 

I at least admire they are going for it, just not convinced it's well thought out

I missed the Gilmour to Brighton transfer but that seems like a fantastic bit of business given Potter’s style of play. 

 

Yup, he's got a perfect slot for him in the team too.

 

They've been using that MacAllister to initiate their play from a deeper central midfield role, and he's been doing well to be fair to him.

 

However, longer term and maybe even sooner that role is perfect for Gilmour to step into.

They badly needed a goalscorer, not another technical midfielder! Screams typical Brighton signing, mind!

Lands at AC Milan on loan. Treat him well, @Milanista

Our backup RB got hurt and will be out for two months, which in a normal season would be survivable, but with the CL and the insanely tight schedule, we needed someone.

 

Our backup LB (Ballo-Toure)... he... "lacks confidence." Is the nice way to put it. Florenzi has played as a backup LB, not just RB, and he's a hell of a player, even playing at RW for us.

 

Our captain, who is from our academy, and a hometown kid, is Davide Calabria. He's our poor man's Lahm, I don't think he'll ever be world-class, unlike other players in our squad, but he's a top RB in Italy, and he's a great kid.

 

My great hope for Dest is that he will solve our RW problems, especially as Dest's problem seems to be that he's not a good defender. Our RW options are poor, and it seems we use a similar move to Real by using what amounts to a RWB as our RW, which Real use with Valverde--so my hope (and many others) is that Dest can provide that, as our current RWB-slash-RW is Belgian international Alexis Saelemaekers. He should go to a team with wing-backs, he'll be a good option, but as our RW? All tekkers, no end-product.

 

Newcastle looks increasingly impressive every time I take the time to watch you guys. Howe might be the best English manager, it's gotta be between him and Potter at Brighton. Isak is a hell of a player, I thought he was expensive, but he looked deadly against Liverpool.
