The College Dropout Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) We need to get back to going in for players 1-2 years earlier than the clubs above us. Nearly all of our best players fit that profile. Isak, Hall, Tino, Gordon in particular. I’m including Guehi, Etikite and JP the first time. We need to get back to that but it still requires a level of pull and bravery I’m not sure we have. We paid a premium for these but we believed in the players. I look at Guehi now and I think post-Staveley we were too scared to drop the money that was needed. £50-60m would’ve been an overpay at the time but time has shown he was worth it. Edit: This might be harsh on Thiaw. But I feel like while they are both close on ability, Guehi has those intangibles that makes a massive difference over the course of a season. That bit more composure, concentration that leadership. Edited April 14 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergenMagpie Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 At 1,71 cm he's a towering 3 cm taller than big Vurn. Not sure Eddie would be happy with that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmk Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 If it's true, it sounds like we have our house in order at least. Promising signs for the transfer window. Can't have a repeat of last summer whatever we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 South American rumours were obviously bullshit in the past, but like with Wilson's connections there I think we're going to get used to there being some validity to them going forward. If someone said in January that we were going to sign a kid from Ecuador you probably would have thought they were a fucking lunatic. Some will be nonsense obviously, but I don't think you can just dismiss them anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evertton Araújo now. https://br.bolavip.com/flamengo/dono-do-newcastle-quer-fazer-acordo-com-o-flamengo-e-contratar-o-meio-campista-evertton-araujo Just looked at a reddit group about him and the fans stated he has no technical ability just a midfield destroyer. Also can't get behind someone called Evertton. The Brazilian press will link us with someone new every few days based off Wilsons track record.

Yes but now several big journalists reported it. The bullshit is when the "locals" are breaking it. Its been the same from Brazil, Turkey, Portugal & Spain.
