Matt Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I’m sure we were linked to him yeeears ago, but then he completely fell off my radar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Lazy journos still have us sniffing around. https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1326662/Arsenal-Everton-West-Ham-Transfer-News-Rafinha-Gossip-Latest Was at Celta Vigo last year.and did ok . His knees have been all cut to pieces though. Two ACLs and a meniscus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1982 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I’m sure he was linked last time Thiago was linked to Man U when Moyes took over. Could make sense that if Thiago’s going to Liverpool, his brother/agent may explore the option of getting a move over too - it’s whether we want/need him.

Although if Carlo has decided he wants rid of every single midfielder currently at the club it would be fully justified!

StevO Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Not sure I’m ok with a player wanting to sign for us because his brother will be down the road. barryj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 2 hours ago, Matt said: Means he’s got family around which will be once less issue regarding integrating I get that. But is that his motivation for coming? To be near his brother? Or does he want to play? Would make a difference from a player being after our money anyway.

Makis Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I don't think we will sign any more midfielders unless several are moved on. There are already too many on the books. (I'm assuming Doucoure and James are done deals.) Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I think Davies will be loaned, siggi sold, Delph offloaded, Besic, which will create some space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Selling Siggy will be a tall order. Hasn't exactly played like his wages suggest. Delph likewise but with the added bonus of injuries. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a star player, or not enough of one, for the MLS to want him. Sibdane, Matt, Bailey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all except Delph. With Gbamin a big question mark and Allan unfamiliar with the English game I think we will hold Delph for this window.

Matt Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I can see both Siggy and Delph staying. Happy for the former to play backup despite the wages, but hope Delph moves on (and think Leeds will want their boy back) or gets his act together when fit to provide competition. I want Tom to go on loan for his own development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Siggy isn't a big enough name to come anywhere near an MLS side paying close to his wages. I'd be pretty shocked if a lot of MLS teams/fans knew he even existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Tom to go on loan for his own development Do you really think so? Its a completely different manager and owner and I can't imagine they can offer the type of wages Delph is on here. Its not saying a lot but he is our only other combative midfielder. He also plays a lot more vertical when compared to the others which is something I am expecting Allan to add to the side. Its the whole fitness thing that is the biggest problem and that won't attract other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makis Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 We saw on Sunday what our options from the bench are so I wouldn't exactly be against another midfielder. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Would prefer us to get a centre half in and no more. Our quality in depth isnt the best throughout the squad, but I'm cautious with us signing too many too quick. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 We have purchased our midfielder now. I think think this story has been regurgitated from last month, when we where linked with about every player out there. The article starts with 'a report says' - what fooking report????
