Tbf we got him for free and squeezed 2.5m out of Lyon as loan fee so we might make a profit on him overall if we just sell him. he always looked like a nothing player like most of the teens Boehly signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,317 Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 (edited) I remember some people calling Vlahovic one season wonder and not wanting him here but are crazy about Osimhen. Vlahovic is younger btw and this is the stats of last 4 seasons in Seria A: 20/21: Osimhen 10 goals Vlahovic 21 goals 21/22: 14 vs 24 for Vlahovic 22/23: 26 vs 10 for Osimhen 23/24: 11 vs 7 so far for Vlahovic. So Vlahovic better in 3 of 4 seasons, younger over a year and cheaper around 40-50m. We really made mistake not going for him last summer when he was available. If anything Osimhen could be one season wonder... Edited January 22, 2024 by NikkiCFC Mattill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 Vlahovic for 50m would have been the equivalent of Llorente, a viable plan B against teams, of which we currently have no plan B, C or D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreira was brought purely as a development player, wasn't he from Benfica's B team or something? Casadei was recalled as we're short in midfield till Lavia/Ugo come back from injuries As for the Santos deal, I never understood why the player and club chose Forest...he could have easily played 10+ games in another league by now and showcased his skillset.

To add: Lyon bought Fofana and Orban, Moreira would get even less timeplay - and we get good fee for that loan. And to be honest - he is not good. Leicester are looking to buy Sensi, are comfortably 1st in the league, they would have no business in developing our player, he would not play much. Santos - we were deceived by Nottingham, they bought players after signing Santos, good we cut loan short. Fofana - Union was a mess this season, and he got a lot of chances, didn't really do much for them. Magic Lamps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most probably suspected, this batch of youth players does not have the quality to make it here or even at lower top tier level. Our scouting dep now is a far cry from the guys that got us kdb, Salah, courtois etc. this is why I am quite apprehensive of shedding out huge sums for uncertain prospects like messinho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare that to Conte who turned Moses into a wingback for his tactical system...and even back in the day when Mourinho asked Azpi to play LB purely for his defensive game. There's a reason why Poch hasn't won much in his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DH1988 1,348 Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 It's genuinely crazy how Clearlake fell for Winstanley and co saying we can do Brighton, just on a larger scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
