Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

just wondered if anyone had seen him actually play after all the Upemecano fella has a big rep yet always looked very suspect on the few occasions i've seen him play .

 

well not sure being better than Upamecanno is much to shout about tbh .
You might want to wait until we have signed him and seen him play in the PL before getting too excited .

 

He gets a hard on for virtually any overseas player you’re linked with, you ought to know this by now mate.

He’ll have been watching him for years like, same as he always claims.

 

Yeah, and this is the problem, there are so many different opinions. Some people think Upamecano is great but I wouldn't go for him, based on what I've seen.
As for this other guy, I know nothing about him.

 

i rarely see european games these days so have practically zero knowledge unless i've seen the in the CL and even then quite likely that names of players didn't fully register these days . Personally apart from some players who are top of the game i wait till they have played in PL as it is a real football culture shock for some .
as an aside i really don't rate the quality of the Bundeslegia as particularly high so am always cautious on how they will perform .

 

interesting.

thanks for sharing

 

Jimmy clearly does watch more overseas football than most of us so at least can offer an opinion on a players quality .
Agree he can get a tad carried away at times but so what we all have our foibles including you . .

 

He also thought Alberto Moreno was the next Roberto Carlos

Whatever

 

Who was that absolutely ****e winger you had who he labelled as being amongst the European elite a few years back?

Oh and Keita

 

i know who you mean but my brain has expunged his name

 

Markovic

£20m from Benfica 7 years ago.

Absolute dogshit.

 

all i could remember was his name started with an M but that immediately led me back to Moreno
Do you reckon that as well as playing could watching football cause early onset dementia

 

I was going to go with Jovanovic but Markovic is probably right.

He also slated Hendo left, right and centre for years

 

I'll answer you as soon as I remember what the question was.

 

the hazing on here is something fierce!


I like it.

 

This injury record will be being scrutinised in the finest detail so we are not going to be taking undue risks on Konate

 

Wouldn't rush to sell Williams yet. I know he's slow and raw, but I've not seen a gangly 20-year-old that good in the air since Thommo. As for Konate - didn't he **** up against us in the first leg and let Salah in, or was it Mane? But he is quick - when Virgil is fit again we can go back to playing 2-5-3 on attack. Still think we need to get the players to be more adaptable though to different formations.
