Other clubs' transfers


Recommended Posts

Gutted we didn't get Bobb, he's miles better than Elanga. Well done Fulham on a pretty major coup for them. I thought bigger clubs would be in for him. If we don't sign at least a defender then I'll be really disappointed. The squad needs a bit of a refresh seeing as a couple of our summer signings haven't paid off so far. 

 

If we could get money in for big Willy we could invest in a half decent striker to challenge for that number 9 position. 

 

I'm not optimistic though.

I strongly suspect bigger clubs were in for him (I believe our farfalle fiddling friend mentioned Dortmund a while back) but weren't willing to play ball with Man City's trademark laundry list of ridiculous buy-back, price match, no refunds, you're going to bend over and take it and enjoy it clauses

I don’t rate Sterling at all but you couldn’t say no to him on a free if his wages were anything reasonable.


Sadly, I doubt his wages would be reasonable.

If the man had any sense he'd beg Eddie to play him for free - he's enough cash to last him a lifetime.

They do. But Emery builds his squad in a very transactional way, players come and go quite regularly. Howe obviously takes a very different approach. He’s all in on developing players, rather than swapping them in and out.

 

You can take your pick on which way you prefer, but it’s clear that loans lend themselves far better to Emery’s method than Howe’s. 

 

I don't think it is about loans suiting a manager's ways, it's about suiting the PSR corner we - and you - find ourselves in

 

This time last year we were doing unexpectedly well in the CL, and the Rashford and Asensio loans were sensationally good. They were a shot in the arm just when we needed one.

 

This year, Luiz back in is a good move too. Tielemans is out for 8 weeks, McGinn for 6, and Kamara the season. We can't just see those injuries happen and do nothing. At the same time, as they're recent events, we won't have had players lined up and ready to pull the trigger on, and January is January.

 

Also worth remembering, Emery is not the greatest about developing young talent, but he's fucking brilliant at turning average players into much better ones.

 

Look at Lindelof. He's been absolutely excellent for us. Who'd have thought that?

Would've loved Bobb, just what we need. Stands out a bit like Hall did at Chelsea for his technique and movement. 

 

I'd hate it under the same conditions, but he looks like a canny player.

Probably won’t happen, but Liverpool could do with Sterling for short term. Good development for Ryo too. 

 

You have some absolutely mad opinions
