I doubt we will sign anyone in January, even if we sign a new player, Pep generally gives them 2-3 months before starting them regularly
Palmer case?
He is exceptional this season. Can easily walk in any of our first XI since september 2024( month of Rodri's injury)

He is exceptional and hope we sign him , extremely unlikely to move in January though even if he did he wouldn't easily walk straight into the team ahead of Gonzalez, Foden, Cherki Bernardo, hopefully a returning Rodri.
Better than both , Gonzalez and Bernardo
Raw numbers saying , same with eye test.
As much as we loves Nico's impact this season, telling the truth

Don't give him that much credit
I think Bernado is great but it’s really catching up with him. He needs to be rotated. I still want him to play a lot of games he’s a great player that wears his heart on his sleeve but he can’t play every game and be expected to play at a high level like before.
Anderson coming in would definitely help with that and also with Nico G whilst Rodri recovers fully.
Kovacic may take some time to get fully fit and Nico OR seems to be nailed on at LB currently.
Foden and Cherki are great but not 8’s.

I’m not sure that graphic is accurate. There’s no Wharton and about 90% of his passes are progressive.

Maybe ,but settling into a Pep midfield is about much more than raw ability. As I said though it’s extremely unlikely we’ll find out because it’s extremely unlikely he moves in January.
He has 67 this season
Idk why he is not on the graphic

Even that doesn’t seem right mate. I’ve seen him do that in one game. Man is a fucking beast.
Maybe not everyone has the same definition of progressive passing. According to most sports profiles, this portal is the most authoritative with the most accurate statistics.
Still, he is very,very good, midfield power. Would like to see BOTH of them as soon as possible here

I always thought it just meant “forward” maybe it means something else?
The interesting part is that none of our lads are on that list!
"A progressive pass in soccer is a completed pass that significantly moves the ball forward towards the opponent's goal, breaking defensive lines and advancing the attack, often defined by metrics like moving the ball at least 10 yards closer (or 25% of remaining distance) or entering the penalty area, excluding passes from deep defensive areas. It's a key measure of creativity and intent to build attacks. "
Gvardiol is there.
I think it would be better if you did it by per 90 mins, however much difference that has.
