I havent been able to bring myself to watch any post match thoughts yet, but a headline I’ve seen this morning is Ange saying that the ‘majority’ of the team aren’t buying into the all out attacking philosophy. This makes a lot of sense, despite being a huge concern.
This style of play...
Not only do we need a good technical number 6, we need a real strong personality and leader in our midfield. We lack these types of characters in our team in general.
Lewis Ferguson sounds like an interesting player. I don’t know much about him other than he seems to have a brilliant attitude, and as a Scot has become the captain of Bologna, which is no mean feat. What do you know about him @Ghost Hardware ?
Yeah. Begs the question, why would Club Brugge still be in negotiations with a club that tried to make them look stupid if this actually the case?
Saw Romano say that Brighton are signing Osman earlier too.
I think depending on whether Bentancur recovers and/or Bissouma gets fit after his malaria/ if he can return to form, I’d prioritise a proper number 6, as well as a quick attacking winger. An ITK - I think it might’ve been Hercules - said that proper number 6’s are the hardest to find. If Villa...
I think the way we got our house pretty much in order in the first 2 weeks of window means we are pretty well placed to make some last minute moves for some good opportunities due to lengths of contracts and FFP situations.
On that basis, it wouldn’t surprise me to see us move for Lloyd Kelly -...
Hmm, those agents quotes may not tell the whole story. He may be trying to force the clubs hand to sell at a lower fee so he can then pocket a larger signing on fee with another club. He knows that with 1 year left on his contract in the summer, he will be worth much less to us fee wise in 6...
From the sound of that deal, it seems like that wasn’t the decisive factor. That’s a huge deal and big sell on clause. We are right to walk away from this.
Not too worried IF we put another £25m towards a player ready to make an instant contribution to our first team squad now instead. If he does well for Brentford in the Premier League, then I’m sure we’d happily pay double what they paid for him.
Let Brentford take a £25m risk, no problem. I...
Have I got this right.. so he’s not always in the first XI for Club Brugge in the Belgian league, but is being given assurances over first team minutes for Brentford in the Premier League? 🤔
Cheers for the info @What Lies Beneath. I’ve told myself all along not to get overly worked up whether a deal for such a young player gets over the line or not. Let’s just wait and see.
