And here's the obligatory Youtube video:

 

Thanks for posting. Some left footed shots in that video. Answers my question from before.

Excited to see what he can do!

Right-footed player that plays on the left. Anyone seen any videos of him using his left? In the two vids I watched he is primarily using his right. Excited / curious to see more of him.

Still not convinced on this guy. So have at it Stoke.

OH MY.

Same story for me, as of the last 2 seasons / 4 windows; GK and creative AMC. It would transform the squad.

Agreed.

Exciting young player. Has looked good when being subbed on for LCFC. Unsure how much truth there are to the rumors.

He made it clear he wanted to leave in the summer but obviously the move fell through. On that basis I'd say he's been used sparingly because they know he won't be around, so why play him?

Let's hope it is that. Being skeptical due to the price tag associated with the player. Still holding out hope that Steve Walsh can still find the hidden gems. Hasn't even had one full window to work with yet.

Gotta love Unsworth

Looks good too.

Doesn't look out of favour or unhappy and seems the main attack for Porto.

 

Can't see them wanting to sell him.

That goal is only the second of the season in all comps. Over the last week he has doubled his total minutes for Porto so hopefully that trend continues and makes the squad. One to watch I guess.

Hopefully Niasse and this thread will be gone in January.

With an average age of 23!

Wow. That's insane. Certainly a model to take notes from.

Draxler is unsettled at Wolfsburg, they are having a stinker of a season and the fans have turned on Draxler due to him being vocal about wanting a move.

Anyone loosely following Wolfsburg? Wonder what is going on at the club? Know they sold Naldo, Dante, Kruse, Dost, and Schurrle but brought in Gomez, Wollschied, Bruma, Blaszczykowski. So you would think they were all adequate replacements. Know they sacked their manager in Oct. Maybe the new guy isn't a fan of Draxler?

Only getting game time because Milik is hurt.

Would be a good buy but not the first position we need players in but would be ok if we bring in multiple people.

Also don't forget Tom Davies.

I think Moshiri needs a robust transfer policy. I don't want to see us signing players who are 30 or will be 30 some time in the duration of their first contract.

 

You can get a "seasoned" pro on free transfers if you need to plug a gap.

 

We should be looking to sign younger players around 23-27 who are regulars for their respective teams and fast becoming that team's best player.

 

Hell it's working for RB Leipzig haha

Indeed. They are top of the league and their record transfer fee is like what 10 mil tops?

Gerry has scored a bucket full for Spain U21s against much better opposition. I know who I would have up front with Rom.

He used us to get a new contract. Don't think we fucked that one up at all.

I refuse to get my hopes up over this one.

On the bench for the Champions League game against Brugge...

 

Anyone following this guy? What is the story? Sure he scored a nice solo goal (only 1 this season) two games back but it was against relegation fodder and they cruised to a 3-0 victory that day.

 

Real talk. Only 119 minutes so far this season? Injury? Surplus at the moment? or not just worth the hype?

Been a whole month since I posted this above. Since then has played less than 90 minutes in total in all competitions. My questions still stand.

 

Thank goodness. I've been having nightmares about becoming a team of 30+ year old has-beens.

On the bench again today against Benfica.

 

... but inconsistency seems to be one of his issues.

This. Paying crazy money for someone who is not a guaranteed starter week in and week out in the side they are coming from seems risky.

ouch - some banter our manager has got hasn't he?

Indeed. Love Koeman's attitude.

Not sure we can recall him so hope he can work his way back in. Looked decent in the few games he played for WB.
