Happinesstan Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've got over being underwhelmed by our transfers. If we sign Sarr, i'll be just as keen to see him in action as I will Botman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) I'd be really surprised if we were interested. Another one with Rabiot who seems to have a major attitude problem/ego. Edited June 25, 2022 by Keegans Export Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think Sarr has quite a high ceiling and I would expect him to do better than St Maximin in terms of goals and assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 For less than 30 mill Sarr would be a really solid signing. But Watford paid about that for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 If we signed Sarr, I reckon it would be less than 20m. Watford have already said he can leave and they aren't in any position to bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Ziyech would be a decent signing I think. He no doubt wants Champions League football and Chelsea would put a stupid price on him for another Prem team. But for a player who can play out wide or as a #10 he would improve us in both those areas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think Ziyech has been thoroughly underwhelming when I see him for Chelsea. I know a lot of players have gone there and struggled.

McCormick Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I think people forget how highly rated Sarr was before he came to Watford. People were talking about him in the same way they are now about Ekitike, Gouriri etc. An unplayable season in the championship and a decent (if a bit stop-start due to injuries etc.) season in the prem, should make him a really good option for us. One of the things I like about him over other targets is that he’s a genuine right-sided winger that can get goals; other options like Danjuma, Harrison etc. would cost more and we’d either have to shift them to the right or accommodate them by moving Maxi there.

Another one with Rabiot who seems to have a major attitude problem/ego. Expand Barbosa looks very tempting though. From what I can tell, he had a disastrous move to Inter 5 years ago, but he would have been only 20/21 and it would be interesting to know a bit more about what went wrong? The clips of him playing in South America, where he seems to score hatfuls of goals, look very encouraging even though the defending isn't European standard. He seems to play as a withdrawn / creative forward like Beardsley and Bellamy (late developers both) and those two transformed the side. Bruno would know him from the national side, and with Big Joe as well, he might be able to settle in to a new environment better than he did before. And a person can do a lot of growing up between 20 and 25. Not sure if he and ASM together would be a good fit though. A mountain of speculation on a molehill of fact I know, but if our Eddie thinks he's worth the gamble, then the rewards could be considerable.

Expand Funny, I thought his performances could be written off as assumed he was young, maybe 22 to 24 sort of age. Didn't realise he was 29. He has ability for sure but yeah, didn’t live up to top 4 team levels of performance. Perhaps decent enough for a team outside the top 4 mind.

Certainly much better than Almiron, Murphy and Fraser... we can't always sign top 4 talent, but like Mane at Southampton was scoring around 10 per season before he went to Liverpool, Cornet and Sarr are doing relatively similar on a per game average. But both played in relegated sides - I think they could do better here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
