Mazzy Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I think Botman and Diop would be a good pairing! If we can get then both in within the next couple of weeks that would be great business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the journo's dont have a clue on how the players feel on transfers, reckon Digne might want to come as well Most journalists will have no clue what each individual players thinks of a certain move, they just guess. It's possible ofcourse that Botman didn't want to join a week ago but after Trippier signing and seeing all these other bids tabled for quality players, maybe he's changed his mind.

Ideally i'd like to keep him but it's clear he's not going to play under Howe so he might as well enjoy the remainder of his career somewhere warm I rate Fede, personally believe he's our second best CB right now, has looked solid under Howe whenever he's played.

Agents play the bullshit game better than anyone as well. They'll tell a journalist the player isn't interested so they don't put off other clubs and so they can squeeze every last £ out of the club when the player eventually signs.

I'd be starting Schar and Fede every game but Howe obviously sees it differently, so he's just going to warm the bench. And if we sign 2 new CBs he's even further down the pecking order Edited January 7, 2022 by Holmesy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We must be shipping a couple out if we're seriously targeting 2 CBs in this window. I just can't see Lascelles being ousted as a starter this season as we're going to have to balance new incomings with squad harmony to see out the year - he's a big voice in the group, rightly or wrongly. Botman feels like a good partner for him if we're going to play deeper and continue to focus on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games has he actually been available for over Clark, as well? He got injured not long after impressing versus Norwich, didn't he? I was thinking and hoping after doing well against Norwich after Clark's brainless red. That he was going to get more of a look in. But seems like Lascelles starts as he's captain and Howe likes Schar and his ability on the ball. Hopefully we stop up and next season we won't be worrying about which average/crap centre back we should be starting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Very clever, in negotiations with 2 good players, bid a little low for both knowing it will be rejected, happy with either player to come.. then just wait and see which club blinks first. Or maybe there’s a reality where we end up with both? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf those two will be liking it because they’ll be mates with Trippier. Botman liking it whilst having (presumably) zero connection with him or us, is at least a cause to suggest he’s keeping an eye on what we’re doing, which can only be a good thing.

Mings and Ali were clearly as friends / teammates. the Botman “like” clearly stands out. Especially with the player now interested in the move.
