TRon Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 1 minute ago, Rafalove said: He does tick a lot of boxes though doesn’t he? We have Botman alongside him so maybe he can take care of slot of the Ariel battles. Plus we have some midfielders who are capable on that department. No one's said it yet, but would also mark the beginning of the end for Schar as you could hardly call Guehi an understudy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Shades of the Isak transfer in terms of it coming completely out of the blue after weeks of us allegedly pursuing another player (Joao Pedro/Thiaw). Hopefully can be tied up as quickly as that was - from story breaking to completion was really quick wasn’t it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I honestly don’t think it worths the price. 60m for a good CB, but not world class, is really expensive. Better than nothing of course. Just under the PSR limitation I hope we go for better options (if any) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 50 minutes ago, Sibierski said: Yep, which may have led to the leak. As if it’s one club less, if there’s another out there, they’ll want them to come to the negotiating party. De Ligt is <£40m. Guehi will cost a minimum of £60m. I can't see us being anywhere near it.

Emotic Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Odd that we had been linked with his CB partner Andersen before, which would make more sense as a Schar replacement. Seems like an opportunistic swoop, this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 1 minute ago, TheBrownBottle said: Few are, but I don’t think that players in specific positions necessarily need specific physical attributes. In terms of wingers, Waddle, Ginola and Solano weren’t exactly shit off a stick, but did ok for us. £60m doesn’t look crackers for an England centre back to me tbh. Stones was £50m eight years ago, and Maguire was £80m I feel like i'm making a basic and uncontroversial point. Certain positions you favour certain attributes. Pace is one for wingers, aye there's lots of examples of slow wingers (yesteryear at least) but it's still a uncontroversial take as a preference. To your point - I do think height/aerial prowess is less of an issue for CBs these days. More and more are undersized.. but the 3 best teams in the division don't do that nonsense. £80m for Maguire was crackers. Maybe it's worth swerving England CBs. You're making me come across worse than I intend. Because I also don't love a Schar-Guehi partnership. a Guehi - Botman partnership looks much better though, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
