Pizy 18,953 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Just had a look over on Barcaforum to see what they think of Fermín Lopez. They’re mostly really against selling him and think the reported €50m is far too cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gittens is a pace merchant with a mediocre finesse shot. lol the nonsense on here. Happens every single time. You guys pile on to signings you don’t like. Bloke has played one game and we are acting like he is off the pace. This forum is absolute shambles when we aren’t winning every second of the day. The first 15 mins of the West Ham game thread is another great example of this. Phikom and LegenTerry 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't looked like a 50m starting role signing so far and lot of people rightly pointing out that saving the 50m spent on him would ease the problems in signing Simons TheHulk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,953 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It would be pretty fucked up if we’ve been negotiating for and telling Xavi all summer that we really want him, agreed personal terms with him, and had him rejecting a bunch of other big clubs so that he can come here and then we switch to Fermín instead at the last moment. Especially if we were to end up paying a similar price. If we had never been linked with Xavi Simons at all and Fermín was the first choice all along I’d be happy with him. But it would feel like a huge letdown for me personally if we don’t get Xavi now. I think he instantly slots in and hits the ground running and he reportedly really wants to play here. With Fermín you’re signing a player who’s probably super sad and reluctant to be leaving his boyhood club. Who knows how he’d take to the PL.

Why would you want potentially 7000 km trip mid week to central Asia? Also can't take seriously any praise for 17yo player from Kazakhstan because odds are against him. There's never been good enough player from his country for top level, not even close. It was similar a couple of years ago with Zakharyan and his career went nowhere...

He was BVBs second leading scorer despite getting benched at the end due to not being in the new managers plans. He scored 2 less goals than Xavi and Wirtz despite playing less minutes. So where is this assessment coming from? Aside from the 50 minute cameo - where he actually looked better than Palmer and J Pedro that game funnily enough.

Pre-season game + Palace Don't think it's a stretch to say Gittens coming in has not improved the starting XI. Could have saved the 50+ millions and signed a winger who could take on a starting role.
