Kanj Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 While it's good to see the scouting was sound on him, I literally couldn't give a shit about us missing out on him. We're 3rd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Would be interested to get an idea of just how much his value increased over the space of 90 minutes last night. In the Summer it sounded like £25m-£30m would get it done. Imagine you could add at least another £15m on to that now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 +£80m based off his play this year, including the World Cup. Meteoric rise to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 20 hours ago, The Prophet said: PSG were sniffing at the end of the window. You'd imagine they'll be favourites in Jan. Our scouting is mint though. Only because we've already bought Isak, otherwise we should be able to compete with just about anybody these days. Although while we've probably got more money than PSG, we probably don't throw it around as easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 We were linked with soo many players in the summer man. This reached nearly 20 pages, and I don't even remember us being in for him until I read it on here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Guivarc'h had a stormer for Auxerre before he joined us after the World Cup. I am amazed he only made four appearances for us and only fourteen for Rangers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was such a weird one, that. Banged them in for Auxerre, won the World Cup, came here and looked like he'd never played football before, stopped off at Rangers for a few weeks to win the treble and then went back to banging them in for Auxerre.

Superior Acuña Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Guivarch only played 4 games for us and scored in one. Obviously it didn’t work out but I’ve never understood how people talk about him being so terrible for us - he barley played! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I've always wondered that They even call him the worst PL signing ever? Was it a change in manager that affected him? Because at the time, we had the French world cup winning starting number 9 and the english world cup starting number 9. Definitely looked good on paper Riviere was much worse over a longer period of time. I thought Andreas Andersson was crap for a longer period of time too.

Definitely a change in manager had an impact. Gullit was a pundit for BBC during WC 98 and I remember he gave Guivarc'h a lot of stick. Stands out because obviously he was on the verge of playing for us and I was wanting to hear them be positive about him. Two months later he was managing him. Was never going to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I believe Gullit put him with the non-starting players (if not the actual reserve squad) on his very first training session (which I went to watch). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pure luxury player. I loved that midfield 3 of Kroos-Modric-James. Played some blinding stuff but it needed stiffing up to win trophies.
