Transfer Rumours Saint Manolo! - Official

I always expect that our signings from abroad will show they full potential in the second season with us, and so far that was the case with most of our signing. So no pressure for Boufal, Hojbjerg ecc, I expect them to deliver next season, everything they do this season is just a bonus. As for the players who already had their second season and haven't showed much, like Clasie, they should be moved on.

 

He'll always be Mexican to me:

 

I personally think Clasie has done well this season.

 

Must have been in the last few minutes because I checked it just before I posted.

 

He's done ok and he's not a bad player, but I think we can do better.

 

Good post this.

Clasie has improved but I still have my doubts as to him being good enough. I think we should sell him in the summer and bring in an attack minded CM.

Players like Cedric are a perfect example of what you talk about. He had a mixed first season and did make a fair few mistakes. But this season he has improved dramatically. Had some absolutely brilliant games for us and is all round more consistent. Let's hope Höjbjerg and Boufal follow suit!

 

If JWP continues to progress as he is this season, I can't see Clasie being much more than a rotation option in the future.

 

And we all know Puel hates to rotate.

 

So are we calling him Manny or Gabby? #countingchickens

 

Yep..

 

Barry , apparently..

Quite right. But unfortunately, not all our fans are that patient.

 

Good to see this finally, mercifully over. Curious how we deploy him, but he'll improve our attack.

 

To the tune of the Dean Martin classic, Volare (Arsenal used to sing it for Viera).
Manolo oh oh
Manolo oh oh oh oh
He came from Napoli
to play at St Mary's

Repeat til throat is sore...

 

Change 'to play at St Marys' for 'he ****ing hates Pompey' and that's probably what he'll get

 

Forget bloody Pompey.

 

Ummm yeah. Good luck with that

If it's not clear btw I hate the fact most player songs mention the blue few. My post was taking the piss out of that.

 

I think Clasie will come on fine. The squad has to be strong right down to the last player, so he's required. I have few worries about Boufal and Höjbjerg was actually better when he first arrived, so I suspect he's lost form for a proper reason and will come good.
