The ones we have been most excited about (Gaston/Osvaldo/Boufal) tend to be a bit **** haha. Wasn't a major fuss when Van Dijk or Mane joined but they turned out alright!

I knew a fair bit about Mane, and I thought he was going to be trouble. He was a pussycat compared to Dani! 
I try not to get too excited, and also give the less prestige player a chance, if you get the balance right it can be rather satisfying.
Never liked Gaston though, something about him that rubbed me up the wrong way from the start. Guly used to get some hate, but I kinda understood him on a bad day, Gaston, I just didn't get it.

Any thoughts on Carrillo getting a recall, bearing in mind our fragile forward line? At least we know about him, and with the new coaching set up etc, probably worth a shout. We’re paying a fair chunk of his salary after all.
Might not have a recall clause but doubt it even if he did. Ralph has complained of a lack of pace amongst our squad so i doubt he will eat up any of our budget brining back a player that is about as slow as they come
Yeah, again, Carrillo has some strengths, but they bear zero resemblance to what Hasenhuttl would want in a striker. Carrillo's playing for a team that suits him: they hoof it to him so frequently that he's averaging an insane 17.6 aerial challenges per 90 minutes, which leads La Liga handily. He would be utterly useless in our approach, because we are not a team that intends to hoof the ball.
I would have thought that Gabbi was a RH type of striker and he hasn’t had a look in and looks set to be sold.
Sadly, very sadly, I think this is true. Still love the little bugger though.
I understand the point you make and agree in part, my concern is with Ings in and out, Austin likewise and Long unable to buy a goal, if this window throws nothing up, it might be Hobson’s choice.
Sadly I suspect you’re right. There’s got to be a reason that he has barely played for us under successive managers despite being our most gifted striker.
Oops. I love him twice as hard.
As long as it’s not the police
If we can get someone more mobile in first I imagine removing him from the wage bill might be seen as a good move.
If we get shot of Austin and Gabbi we have Ings (always injured) Long (barely counts) and Gallagher. Defintely would suggest another will be joining us. Still doubt we will sell Austin.
