Transfers, Summer 2023

[Andrew 3429]

Barca are apparently signing Ruben Neves for an absolute bargain, 26 million.

 

Should put paid to any rumours of them being in the market for Bruno, now it'll just be Real Madrid, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool and any other fucker who need a midfielder who will be linked until he signs this new deal.

 Looks like he's a bit upset that actual sports journalists won't talk to him. You heard it here first.

He’s still going  Fucking tragic

Mount to Man Utd.

Does that make Casey an IDK nonce? I like how the window hasn’t even opened and he’s losing the plot already

You're certainly not the Fish.

 

Look, in his role at Man Utd, it's reasonable to think of McTominay as the thumb in the dyke. With Rashford, Martial, Anthony, Sabitzer, Eriksen even Casemiro, as more forward thinking players they need someone who can operate as an out and out disruptor. And when you present a more complete view of his performance this season it paints a rosier picture than you provided;

 

 

Man Utd are not a hard pressing team, they're 9th in the league for passes allowed per defensive action and yet ST is still in the 85th percentile for tackles in the final 3rd.

 

I'll be clear here, I don't like McTominay, but I trust that if Howe and Ashworth like him enough to pay the expected huge sum for him, they must see something I don't, empirically or anecdotally.

Well that certainly explains why you know fuck all about football.

[Ayatollah Hermione 11169]

If we got McTominay, I think we’d see him deployed further forward tbh. PL will correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that where he pops up for Scotland? Could he have more composure in front of goal than Longstaff?

True as I reckon that would be, I really don't want either McTominay. Especially for the money being touted, it would be a fucking stupid deal to make.

 

He's so fucking ordinary, hasn't got the pedigree of Trippier, or the class or potential of Botman//Bruno (as well as being older than both).

 

Big ol' no thanks on that one. We'd be better off raiding the relegated teams for squad players frankly, cause thats all he is capable of being even compared to who we have now, he isn't better than Longstaff.

[Ayatollah Hermione 11169]

Tbf, even if Howe wants McTominay, the finances involved will probably see us go for an alternative IMO.

After some consideration, it’s been decided you can stay. But you must (and I can’t stress this enough) familiarise yourself with the beginning and end of British Summer Time

These must be super skint. I would have assumed Coady for £4.5m would be a relative no-brainer?

 

[Ayatollah Hermione 11169]

He’s been pretty dogshit, hasn’t he? Wasn’t even getting in the side under Dyche. And I’d imagine Wolves are glad to get an actual player back that they don’t have to pay for
