Better Bayern than any of the other EPL big teams. There was zero chance Lille was not going to sell him this summer, their director said that multiple times (obviously they would only sell if a fair price was given.

I am just devastated we did not (talking January 2019 window now, when the bans were looming hard) buy Barella and loan him back to Cagliari, Buy Piątek outright (instead we shit away 16m on Higs for six months of toiling, which is more than half what Piątek would have cost to buy PERM (plus his salary is almost 8 times times less than Higs at present grrr) an then do the buy and loan-back thing with Pepe and Lille. We knew the bans were coming, we should have grabbed those 3 players, 2 on the buy and loanback option, like we did with Pulisic (I will not go crazy and say we should have done it /buy and loanback) with 6, 8 players, that is madness)

Even if Piątek is not at Jovic or Werner, etc level (and his 30 goals in only 42 games at least shows he can bang them in) he still SURELY was worth £15m (the difference between owning him and loaning Higs for 6 months) to have him here and wholly owned. He is streets ahead of any striker we have had since Costa, and probably since Drogba. In his last 3 games against  the top 3 CL Serie A clubs (Juve, Napoli, Atalanta, he scored FIVE goals., 1 v Juve, 2 v Napoli, and 2 v Atalanta. His 'big' 'slump' was 5 goals produced in a 12 and a third game run (and he was carrying a knock in multiple games during that, including the game he left after only 28 minutes, and a couple others he also was subbed off for) Take that out, he scored 26 goals in the other 29 games.

That would have been a better winter market for sure. The only defence I'll offer for the club is in regard to the Gonzalo signing. There they seem to have been deferring to the manager's wishes.

Pepe is a fool if he goes to the dippers

he isnt going to bench Salah

and they both are pure RW, neither is nearly as effective on the left

i truly hate to say it, but there is one team who is exactly what he (and they) need

Bayern

perfect fit

if Pulisic can flourish on the LW, then we are another perfect fit

I really need to see more of Puli on the left, he seems (despite the fact he is right footed) more comfortable on the right (exactly the same as Sancho, which is why they fought over the RW, and didn't just have one switch over to LW)

If Napoli get him and James Rodriguez they will be class this upcoming season. Dont think their enough to bridge the gap to Juve but they will comfortably (if they werent already) be the best of the rest even with Conte at Inter. Koulibaly, Manolas, Insigne, James, Pepe, Fabian Ruiz, Allan, Mertens.. very good players all in their own right.

He's the kind of player who I think Klopp would shape into a monster, so hopefully he stays away from there. Napoli sounds good to me.

70m for rotation player, I honestly can only see team like city to pull something like that

Err, latest reports suggest Pepe will be heading to Arsenal.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49137976

better there than Manure

but fuckkkkkkk

I wanted him for us, grrrr

we should have bought him in January and loaned him back

ffs

 

you toss just him and Piatek on this team we surely could be rocking top 4 (or close)

 

oh well, there's always other fish in Vesper's transfer seas!!!:)

we fix shit up in 2020

anything we get out of this year is a bonus

I am more positive than I have been in ages

Sarri was a drag on my little Blue soul

so fucking boss to have an English manager again, I was one year old the last time we hired one (Hoddle), roflmaoooooo

Really envious about this. Auba, Laca and Pepe in a front three is deadly. If they get Tierney too, I defo would say they have moved ahead of us and United for next season.

their back four, especially with Bellerin still out, is pure shit still

But their attack is deadly. Holding was actually decent for them before he got injured last season. Tierney will improve them. With the so called £45m budget, if they get Tierney along with Pepe, then that is really good business as they need a winer desperately and they have got a top one too.
