City, PSG etc will bend us over We are the only ones who seem crazy enough to bid that high for him (85m). City want Bellingham. There's no secret. Foolish hope, but I still think we can bag him. Particularly if there are still delays with Liverpool/United's ownership ordeal. It's just a matter of moving as close as we can to the release clause.

Playing badly on purpose is match fixing and would need to be coordinated. Underperforming collectively because of bad management is not the same Nah its not black or white. Have you ever done sports on higher level? If you arent 100% motivated or disturbed by something and if you only perform at 95-99% it will have a huge impact on the result. Imagine cross country skiing and having bad ski wax. You will look like a turd in the tracks. In football all it takes is to not make that extra sprint or to not track back 100% or to not double check behind your back when you defend. Its not about mutiny but to drop a couple of % in your performance. Sometimes it might be the managers fault but many times its spoilt away players who maybe doesnt like the managers philosophy or training methods. Thats why the best managed clubs decides a vision/philosophy and recruit managers/players who fits within that philosophy. Maybe thats what we finally are trying to do?

Blue Armour 4,710 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Arsenal have signed Trossard. Wonder what this means for Caicedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it happens. Think we wait until the summer and get some hole filler on loan for now. It is a smart move if the plan is to use this fiscal year's transfer fund for midfielders.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I think not even a crazy Boehly offer will make Brighton sell Caicedo this January. They hardly need the money but will want to make a push for Ropey League. 29m for Madueke >>>> 29m for Drossard btw Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get someone in on loan (if that’s even within the rules which I’ve seen conflicting reporting about) and go all out for Enzo in the summer.

Mário César 1,475 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I don't know if this long contracts deal will catch us in the future because If the players don't performe well, we will be in trouble to sell them look at kepa, for example we stuck with him all this years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a smart move if the plan is to use this fiscal year's transfer fund for midfielders. But is a midfield loan signing necessary either? Even now the problem isn't quantity but quality. I mean, we have all of Jorginho, Kovacic, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Loftus-Cheek, Kante and Zakaria in the squad and even Lewis Hall is more of a natural midfielder than a LB so when Chilly is back we could try him in midfield too. Of course Kante and Zakaria are currently out injury and will continue to be for at least a few more weeks but there's still plenty of bodies available for selection. They may not be all that great and/or good tactical fits for how we want to play going forward but would the kind of players available on a loan deal right now be any better than the ones we already have? The grass isn't always greener. Not to mention that even now we can't register all new signings for the UCL squad for the knockouts so I very much doubt the loanee midfielder would make the cut either so are we really banking on getting the kind of midfielder on loan that immediately makes a HUGE impact and gets us closer to the battle for European spots? If not, why even bother loaning in anyone? NikkiCFC and Magic Lamps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the new players with long contracts are paid reasonable wages we will be able to sell them if they doesnt perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,139 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Bit of deja vu about us signing loads of wingers and not sorting out other positions, but tbf if Kante comes back and somehow stays fit and signs a new contract, between him and Kovacic it would be a solid 4-2-3-1 all of a sudden with plenty of creativity and danger from the front 4. My gut says based on what we've seen so far though that we don't end this transfer window without signing some kind of CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, why even bother loaning in anyone? I'd say DM. Jorginho, Kovacic, Kante, and Zakaria are the only deep players. You can add Ruben but he's as reliable as a politician, and Kante and Zakaria are far too injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
