Hashishi 148 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Maybe an unpopular opinion: We should have signed Casemiro as a stop gap DM to help us transition into 433 this year. He would have chosen us over Manure for CL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,701 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 You guys really need to chill on calling Fofana a bust. Life isn't just black and white - guy came here and unfortunately suffered an injury. Plenty of guys in sports that suffered terrible injuries early on who went on to be men of steel and never got injured throughout their career after early setbacks. He is clearly very talented too.

It isn't going to happen overnight, and not like he is 100 games in here showing the same thing. He was getting better and better in his performances before his latest setback.

Time will tell but atm I remain unconvinced. I think it has a substantial chance to go down as a truly shit buy. I truly hope not. I have a solid track record here predicting systemic risk, both short term and on longer range event horizons on a multivariate number of stress points, both player-related and also bigger picture, whole club structures. I warned back during the Skripal poisoning affair that it was time for Roman to sell the club, as he was likely to be banned by the Home Office from obtaining a visa renewal (and that would cock up the new stadium) and was at true risk, down the road, of having the club seized, due to his close ties to Putin. I was laughed at then by some. We all know how that ended. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,169 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 it's based off the Sun, so take it with a huge grain of salt the only reason I post the article below is because with Gvardiol not in play until 2024, and Mbappe and Håland locked up for now, Real will be looking for the next superstar signing quite possibly, and Bellingham is that top 10 most valuable atm on T-M Erling Haaland €170.00m Kylian Mbappé €160.00m Vinicius Junior €120.00m Phil Foden €110.00m Jude Bellingham €100.00m Pedri €100.00m Jamal Musiala €100.00m Federico Valverde €100.00m Gavi €90.00m Bukayo Saka €90.00m Premier League giants Liverpool, Man City, and Chelsea receive Jude Bellingham blow https://www.livesoccertv.com/news/459264/premier-league-giants-liverpool-man-city-and-Chelsea-receive-huge-jude-bellingham-blow/ The Three Lions sensation is set to leave Dortmund this summer, but a return to England might not be his next destination. Jude Bellingham is the hottest young player in the transfer window, with Europe's biggest clubs all competing to sign the highly-rated Englishman. The Dortmund ace was one of the standout players at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and as a result, a major summer move looks to be on the horizon. A battle is underway to lure the 19-year-old from the Signal Iduna Park. Four Premier League giants are keen on landing the former Birmingham starlet and they are Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United, with the Reds and the Cityzens leading the pack. PSG, meanwhile, are also following the midfielder. However, according to the Sun, the English clubs no longer hold the advantage in this transfer saga. The British tabloid report that Real Madrid are now currently leading the race and are confident of signing the Bundesliga sensation, who will likely cost over £100M ($121M). Los Blancos have already racked up a pool of young but exceptionally talented midfielders. The Spanish giants landed Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni over the last two summer transfer windows, joining Uruguayan ace Federico Valverde at the Bernabeu. The initial consensus was that Liverpool were leading the pack, with Jurgen Klopp identifying Jude as the man to rejuvenate Anfield. Throughout Qatar 2022, the midfielder could be seen alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson, thus further backing the claim. However, Ancelotti's side are confident after "courting him throughout 2022". One important factor must be stated: while Bellingham will command an exuberant transfer fee and wage package, money isn't the deciding factor here. The Three Lions ace will not join the club that pays him the most but is rather focused on the best step for his career. As a result, Los Merengues believe that the opportunity to become a household Real Madrid player will be irresistible, Liverpool have done tremendous work already to sell their project. Manchester City, meanwhile, have the money, the silverware, and Bellingham's former teammate Erling Haaland to entice Jude. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are the champions of Europe and will look to ruin the party for the two aforementioned Premier League heavyweights.

Pizy 18,902 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 It’s like we got all of our “now” signings out of the way in Todd’s first transfer window over the summer and now we’re going bananas on teenagers that won’t be first team candidates for years, if ever. I’m not mad at this approach, but hope there will still be additional quality that goes directly into the first team soon. If we can pull off the improbably and get Leão to add to Nkunku who is already done then we’ll have a massively improved attack heading into next season. Pulisic and Ziyech out, Leão and Nkunku in. Sterling, Havertz, Leão, and Nkunku as fluid attackers interchanging positions would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only moderately decent one was cucu. Boehly fucked us for years to come by putting all these guys on massive contracts. No wonder we're signing youngsters because we have no space on the wage bill for actual players. Idk why tuchel was made in charge of transfer targets especially if boehly was thinking of getting rid of him cause he can't play 443 and didnt want ronaldo. We should've made 1 or two smart signings and acted like we did during the transfer ban, promoting youngsters like colwill and Hall and only signing players where we had no other option. Broja should've been first choice this season (not saying he's good enough or isnt) just because auba sucks. Sterling shouldn't have been signed cause we basically helped City make their money back for haaland. These two transfers especially will kick us in the ass for 2-3 year and I will keep reminding you guys when they are both sitting on 200 and 300k on the bench by next year if not sooner. maxlev, Fernando and Vesper 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple rundown We overpaid by at least £25m for CuCu then bad (likely the players will not be successful, or at least look that way atm) expensive buys Fofana (likely a poor buy at the end of the day, let us all hope not, but I have major doubts) Sterling (super disappointing so far) KK meh Auba meh meh then Zakaria loan, I have no issue with, but ffs, play him more then the 2 good buys listed Carney Slonina Edited December 22, 2022 by Vesper bigbluewillie, Reddish-Blue and Hashishi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
