Would be a very solid move if true. Perfect short term stopgap who is PL ready.

Man City are having a Clearlake style January window. They’re copying us almost exactly and it kinda funny. Gave Haaland a massive length contract, signing 3 teenagers who all play the same position (CB) and are sending one of them on loan to a French side just like we do. Let’s see if their scouts have better success rate with all these kids they’re buying than we’ve had so far.

If it were up to me I agree, we should bring him back. But I feel like it gets into really messed up territory if we start sending our feeder club talents, they become super key players there, and then we snatch them back midseason and thus derailing their season. Again, if we want to be cold and heartless I wouldn’t mind. But I can’t see our owners bringing that heat on themselves.

Even just looking at highlights on YouTube of Garnacho and he looks shite. Madueke has been bang average this season but I’m 100% positive that if you put together a highlight reel for him they’d be miles more impressive than what I’m watching of Garnacho. If the club is so desperate for another young winger to the point where we’re willing to spend another huge fee, there are surely MANY others out there who are better than this kid. Here’s an idea, how about one who actually scores goals? Why can’t we target wide attackers like Liverpool always seem to find like Luis Diaz, Jota, Mané etc? We always seem to get wide players who are good to great at everything except end product. Literally all 4 of our current wingers can beat players for fun in space, get into dangerous areas, and are good playing in tight spaces but then disappoint in the most important aspect which is scoring. Garnacho is just another one who will be exactly the same. NOT what we need. Napoli and Conte please save us from this transfer!

Already see some of our fans getting excited about Matt Law saying we’re “assessing midfield options,” but any move we do make there will almost surely be Ugo returning from loan. We won’t want to fuck with Strasbourg’s season and piss their fans off even more than they already are with BlueCo by recalling Santos. Don’t think anyone should get excited as if we’re going to go out there and buy some great new midfielder.

Just the idea of us being linked with a player who would cost 65-70m when that same money could surely go towards buying us a really good striker makes it even worse.

Napoli, please save us from doing this stupid ass transfer! Your Kvara replacement is right there!

Lavia’s injury struggles are legit the most frustrated I’ve ever been with a player. Reece has had terrible injury luck but when he does come back from them he usually plays for a while before getting injured again. Lavia has been out more than he’s has played! He’s 20 years old and has the body of a fucking 60 year old! He is an unbelievable talent and someone who I 100% believe would go in to become a world class midfielder if he stayed fit. We would have the best midfield trio in world football if Lavia had the fitness record of Caicedo. Surely we HAVE to pull the trigger on recalling one of our loanees. And it has to happen THIS WEEK. We cannot go into that City game with Caicedo and KDH as the only resistance in midfield. They’ll rip us to shreds.

Pretty mediocre performance overall with a few standout individuals. Caicedo, Tosin, Cucu, and Trev were all great. Biggest positive was how composed we looked second half and didn’t allow Wolves to grow in confidence. But in terms of attacking quality I thought we were poor.

Madueke killing another attack…

Soon as I call Madueke shit (which he has been!) he assists and scores.

Take Madueke off ffs. Such a bang average player. Can’t stand watching him these days. Such promise early on this season but has gone back to his normal level which is bang fucking average.

If we fail to win this at home to the team in 17th and with City next up, when do we start to wonder whether Maresca’s job is in jeopardy?

And the sad part is, who can we look to for a good source of another goal? Palmer looks about 50% fit and is just walking around out there. Jackson has t been in the game at all and the few glimpses he’s had have been his usual fuck ups. Neither winger has touched the ball since the first 10 minutes. We again look out of ideas and have no striker or reliable goal scorer who can change the game.

The team just repeatedly dies when we go ahead. The patterns of play, the zip in our passing, the super aggression and attacking quality we saw up until this Christmas time run are all long gone. We look like a completely different team. Palmer also looks nowhere near fit and without him sharp we look even worse.

Same script, different game. How fucking weak was that from Sanchez. Terrible player.

Both Cucu and Jackson have been so damned sloppy with simple control and passing today.

We once again started pretty well but have failed to keep our foot on the gas since the goal. Not getting our attackers on the ball nearly enough.

Jackson scuffing a point blank chance within 1 minute! 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, if we get shredding through the middle here perhaps it’ll finally get our directors to recall a midfielder.

Midfield just looks so defensively susceptible. Caicedo again asked to be a 1 man defensive shield since Lavia can’t fucking stay fit for longer than 1 match at a time. The attack looks fine but the question will be if we can put together a full 90 minutes or if we start strong and then crumble as we have been doing.

He’s yet another young, raw talent when we already have loads of that profile. We need to IMPROVE the squad, not just add more and more young players who need years to develop. On top of that, I just don’t rate him.

He’s not better than any of our wingers. I don’t think he offers anything at all to our team. I’d rather have Sterling back from the wilderness than signing this average player for £60-70m.

We completely fucked them over with the Mount deal and now we might cancel that great business out by buying one of their shit players for an even more silly price.

If we were going to do a completely pointless and ill advised move for a United player I would rather have Mainoo who we were linked with than fucking Garnacho.
