What's your stance on Pedro Neto? He wasn't on the list was he (because of injuries)?

Can Neto play LW? 

I remember every time I watched him he has been brilliant, but isn't he a RW? 

Yes.

Madness.

Another left footed RWer 

We have over 10 now counting youth and the two 17yo teen superstars coming in next summer.

Insanity.

We would get eith Desire Doue (ambipedal LW)or Nico Williams (right foited LW), 2 actual true LWers, for less than we are dumping on Neto, who is a RWer all the way.

Clownlake is wilfully destroying the club.

Is he? He seems very two footed to me, indeed many of his assists from RW came from his right foot, with him rarely cutting in to shoot on his left.

I think the club like him because they think he can play either LW or RW well.

He also presses well in the high press Maresca wants to play.

Personally, I'm just worried about his injuries.

Just posted on him.

I never wanted him.

Low production.

Injuries.

Wrong foot.

Wrong position.

Overrated a bit, at least for me.

I am not at all happy.

My targets over the past 3 years or so have been VASTLY better than Clownlake's.

Main reason I did not put my only big leave-off on (Palmer) my lists was that I NEVER thought Citeh would let him go.

CuCu has vastly improved, but no way is worth £65m.

Almost zero big busts (at other clubs) from my lists. Compare that to Clownlake.

So many Clownlake buys I have lost my shit over have been massive busts.

Ffs.

So much for being the next big thing. He's probably regretting not joining RM at this point.

Going to the lower leagues on loan as a keeper isn't as bad as an outfield player, he will develop while also been in the UK and been at Barnsley will have plenty of goalkeeping to do. I would much rather a keeper go on load somewhere they will actually learn and improve, rather than go to a team that dominated and spends 90% of the match doing fuck all.

It's not so much the destination; it's the lack of progression. He's gone from the Belgian top flight to the third tier of English football. 

If this move shows anything, it's that he won't be playing for the first team anytime soon, if at all.

some of the talents we buy will come to nothing and will be sold off or loaned out until their contracts expire

one or two will end up working out and will make up for all those that went wrong

not some, most will come to nothing 
 

The good ones would make up for all the failed ones only if we acquired them at decent prices as clubs like Dortmund or RB do. But we pay outrageous fees and still have a lower hit ratio then them. This whole strategy will definitely backfire economically 

[Pizy 18,928]

I think Paez & Estevão are such outrageous talents that they will be definite successes for us. To already be playing against grown men and looking great is what gives me that confidence. They have genuine “generational” talent. I think Anselmino’s physical characteristics should translate well to PL/European footy as well.

All the other “wonder kids” we’ve hoarded recently I think could go any way. No real expectations that any of them will blow up into superstars.

Don’t play with my emotions like this! It has to be a lowball loan.

 

[Mário César 1,278]

I would prefer mudryk, tbh

We all know these Italian clubs play us like a fiddle. However, if they are will to cover all his wages (0.0000001% chance), we should bite their hands off.
