unless i've missed someone not on loan there's one more space for a foreign player in our squad.

Cheers so there is a very tiny chance we may sign someone else (I highly doubt it though)
 
Issue - I took issue. My point, that I'll stick to, was that before he got injured Ox was decent. And a tie is two games. But yes, he's frigging useless now and has been for four years, so I don't have ISSUE with your overall point.


I mean, you're both right. Ox was decent for a while. But the vast majority of his time with us he's been one of our weaker players.
 
He’s been tracked for a while. Energetic and good range of passing so seems to suit our midfield. Not a big goal scorer or creative so more then link up man in thiago mould.

Wouldn't say a full on panic in way Kabak/caulker we’re that’s harsh on the guy that’s played for both Juve and Barca. Clearly a very good player just style doesn’t suit Juve system
No idea how good or bad he is tbh as I haven't seen anything of him. He has played for Barca and Juve but hasn't set the world alight at either in my understanding. Also a Brazil international.

I just can't remember us being linked with him before, which doesn't necessarily mean much but given that we're loaning him on deadline day without an option to buy suggests that he's very much a stop-gap and not part of our long-term thinking.

yeah, he will just be another warm body for the league cup.
 
BTW if we sign Artur Melo @Red Hadron Collider should know it's a very auspicious name.

Melo means Badger in Esperanto. (Reason I know is I have a cat named Badger- predates RHC wanting to kill all Badgers- and I learnt Esperanto a few years back so looked up my cat's name)


So combine that with Arthur of Arthurian legend and that makes Artur Melo the Badger King of the Britons. Beautiful
 
Well I'm hoping for a bit more than that tbh. If he can come in and be our new Wijnaldum for a year then great. Especially if Jones and Elliot can still develop.

well, I'll start low and be pleased if it happens that way.

We could be looking at a bench warmer if IDEALLY thaigo can get and stay fit cos when he is fit our team improves a lot.

Me too. He's played for Brazil, so must be a bit more of a stop-gap than the apocryphal Ben Davies.
