ryanegg Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago If Tonali goes to Spurs and Nick to Villa.. it'd take a lot to get me even remotely excited for this coming season. Bad enough as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephant Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago 46 minutes ago, Gawalls said: Just saying that in the world cup thread, ignored by two different ones. Havertz has been first choice as 9 (even though it’s not his natural, best role) and Undav’s been starting at bench. Those are the players he is up against. Amiri did really well today for attacking role at midfield. Woltemade played a lot for Germany because of Havertz’s injuries, so it’s not the role (starting XI for Germany) he lost, it’s the role that he managed to get due to injuries. If they start Havertz as 10 and Undav as 9, he might have better chance to play but the competition is tough. Nagelsmann likes Sane (the only person in whole Germany that rates him) and probably he is first choice from bench or Amiri for 10. Undav doing well is poor thing for Nick, because he is getting the minutes that Nick would’ve had. Woltemade and Undav play really well together so if Woltemade gets minutes with him, he has great chance to impress. I’ve been saying here for long time that we should sign Undav, because they play well together and Undav has developed (matured) so that he’ll probably do well now.

I think it makes more sense in American sports because the talent pools are smaller. There are only a handful of NFL players in the world so selling one for cash and then trying to find one you can buy makes less sense than trading I expect. Plus it lets the owners feel like they're back in the good old days of owning humans and trading the ones they don't like down the river.

It makes more sense in American sports because you can trade a player against their will and you don’t need to negotiate new contracts. In football if Team A wants to trade Player B to Team C in change for Player D, that’s three separate negotiations (AC + BC + AD) with four parties all having to sign off on one transaction. If it breaks apart at any point both teams are left with unsettled players. Just not worth the trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably be mint for juve or decent Italian team No-one in Germany in paying anything like that number for him - Bayern spat the dummy out re our fee last year and they’re the only German club who could pay those numbers. It there’s anything real about Villa being interested for £65m we’d be mad not to snap their fingers off - I doubt they are, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viana Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago For all his shortcomings (I think we obsess over what a player doesn't do these days) I think in a team with dynamic inverted wingers he'd do very well. If he'd turned us down or gone Bayern I think we'd be cursing our luck for missing out. I don't think he'll come good here, but he'll come good somewhere.
