Angelino

I don’t necessarily agree with that. We need to be proactive sellers. Make these players attractive to buyers.

You are not seriously suggesting that there isn’t a team in Europe that wouldn’t put their hand in their pocket for Angelino? He’s a regular for Liepzig, CL experience, a good age and has experience in 3 major leagues.

A loan is a disgrace

Well Leipzig don't seem convinced enough to buy (the reported clause of him needing to play a certain amount of games in the 2nd half of the season is quite telling) and I haven't heard of other clubs beating down our door to sign him.

I think a big part of this deal is down to the player himself saying he would only go to Leipzig. Unlike sports in the US for example football players seem to have more control of where they go.

I'm sure Leipzig are just hedging their bets but surely we could have arranged a perm deal on smaller instalments of cash flow is an issue for German clubs. Thinking about it perhaps they are paying a loan payment on top of the obligated fee so we may not be as soft as some on BM suggest.

They are trying to take the piss, probably trying to engineer another loan. He was superb for them.

Yet are reportedly putting conditions on the loan to potentially avoid having to buy. Doesn't sound like they are totally sold on him. Most likely hedging their bets as they have doubts.
 
I get as frustrated as many at the fees for us but is is clear to me that we prefer to be very player friendly as a club. We ask for extreme loyalty on the way in, all but refusing to negotiate for players who won’t box themselves off to other suitors. We can’t then flog them wherever we so choose later. More than likely Angelino wanted to return there and given that we probably made promises to get him to return we do the honorable thing and land him somewhere he wants to be which in turn probably helps us with agents and other players

Zinchenko came in as midfielder and was then converted into a defender and was fantastic there in the 18/19 season IMO, Angelino was only ever brought back as it was a free hit, if it didn't work out he could always be sold for profit.

Mendy was one of the best young LBs in europe when we got him, unfortunately injuries have ended up with us only seeing glimpses of this.

Stones is a weird one, I want the guy to step up so badly, if he could of taken the first half of the 17/18 season and continued to perform that way, we'd have the best CB pairing in Europe imo. Unfortunately he didn't.

I don't personally see how these can be put down as a shambles in pep identifying defenders.

Zinchenko has never been fantastic at anything other than having a mouthy girlfriend. Mendy was fast with a lethal cross, but was always a rank bad defender - that didn't change.

Why the fuck did we buy Angelino in the first place when there are leftbacks like Telles, Reguillon, Tagliafico. Unbelieveable. When will Pep stop making mistakes buying defenders? He gets like haft of his targets right. So sick of this bad business.

Get rid of Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko and Angelino, keep Garcia, buy Koulibaly and get a proper fucking leftback in. How hard can it be?!

Angelino cost us about 4 million and has been sold for a huge profit very good from a business point of view Telles Reguillion and Tagliafico would all cost more than we have just sold Angelino for I am guessing also do not think many where talking about them when we bought Angelino either because they had not been as good in previous seasons or because people thought Angelino was the answer given his form in the Netherlands or both
