Yes. He's already in River's first team, he's played 52 games for them this season. The idea he's going from Copa Libertadores games and playing in front of 83,000 every week for one of the biggest clubs in the world to our EDS is sort of mental and what people said about Alvarez aswell until the World Cup.
Two in the air for a medical, what, Reis and his brother?ones done, and two are in the air for a medical already. Might have to adjust that guess..
I would say it was more accurate to say players have to be afforded a season to get upto speed, many click sooner and some straight away. Laporte and jesus were probably our last 2 big mid-season signings and both hit the ground running.So,if you believe what you read, we could have three or four or even five new players arriving in January. Echeverri will be here in February.
The generally perceived wisdom is that it takes most players a season to get up to speed in a Pep side. We will be in a fight for a top 4 spot this season and I’m wondering if and how these new guys are going to help us do that.
Khusanov just landed at Ringway.Twomin the air for a medical, what, Reis and his brother?
Ah I am still midway through my cycle of thread reading. I always go in the same order.Khusanov just landed at Ringway.
I was just thinking the same! Lol :-)In the name of good fuck how many players are we interested in signing,this window reminds me of the summer when Shiekh Mansour bought the club,we were linked to all sorts of players..
If only life was that simple,It's funny if these signings turn out to be gems . If we bought in the summer like we needed to it would not have been these players. Might have worked to our benefit long term. Funny how things can play out.
I think txiki is just playing a really elaborate game of scrabble at this pointWell he was the next name everyone was thinking of, I'm sure.
I hear he can kick a ball over them FjordsWho?
So they are clearly above his levelJSP 6
Khusanov 31 + 10 Uzbekistan
Reis 22
But the newbies are moving to a new country, probs dont speak English, never played in the Prem, so they may need a few months to settle in. We have 3-4 months to achieve UCL qualification. Personally I would have gone all out for Guehi, he has approx 200 senior games and is only 24.
btw Echeverri 48 games: in Argentina, just 19 ! ,
McFarlane 0 games: from New York City, still TBC
The millions we spend on recruitment and coaching have determined that this lad is better than them. The reality of elite level football.If this is true, what's the point of our own youth players who don't even get a game?
