Florentino Luis. Lets use our good relations with Benfica. And then bring in Andre in January to replace Thiago
No, but the two we got were proven in other leagues and have adapted well. Early days still, but, so far I think most opinions are positive.
As backup for someone else if we were getting in two (or if we're getting a 19y/o to take some of the match burden), he might be OK if his wages aren't too high. I wouldn't say no if the wage was OK AND IF HE WASN'T OUR SOLE HOPE, we had another coming in.
He’s going Bournemouth apparently anyway but I did say he wouldn’t be an awful option as a good rotation squad player. Good pressing and winning ball back, lots of energy.
We should have gone Alexis Mac Allister and Moisés Caicedo at the same time. Maybe we could have got both for £150m. We left it too late to bid for Moisés Caicedo and his heart was already set at Chelsea.
Pavard isn’t going United with maguire not moving either. Should be in for him, great option across whole back line.
I only watched Brighton a couple of times on tv and I’ll be honest he didn't impress me as much as Mac Allister did.
no. cheslea wanted him since May. maybe outbid arsenal last deadline day but otherwise this was always always the outcome. this is a lesson. if you are willing in the end to bid 60 on lavia as reported by BBC and sky amd direct quote from Southampton just do your business early. they had the money. this is what annoyed me. I said get it done early and they got 2 of 3. OK I said let's see. now here we are with preseason over the start of season compromised and no options we know of but a shed load of cash amd coulda shouldas
Yes, the most likely event would have been Chelsea got him at the beginning of summer and could have used him against us. It actually worked in our favour bidding for him right before our game against them.
