If we can only make 3 changes max, then we’d only have to de register one player.Wishful thinking in Jan though
Doubt anyone leaves other than the young guys on the fringes like McAtee or O'Reilly etc.
The overhaul will have to wait untill Summer unless the Saudi clubs wanna go hard again which doesn't sound like they do
Well Is Rodri registered, If he is I assume he’ll be de registered.If we can only make 3 changes max, then we’d only have to de register one player.
We won’t buy 3 players in Jan though, as you elude to. If we did and one was a right back, then it might have to be Walker that gets removed. Offer him a loan to Sheff U.
I am thinking more the seniors.Mcatee, Wilson-Esbrand for starters
He had already turned down a move to Liverpool in the summer which would make more sense in moving clubs rather than being in the thick of the season. Same if we were that interested in him too either as an alternative to Gundo or alongside (although we would have still shift a couple to make it possible).At this stage we don’t know what Zubimendi is thinking but you can be damn sure that the club will have gauged his interest through his agent. There were a few stories in the last month that he is regretting turning down Liverpool which suggests he might be open to a move. Maybe Liverpool will go for him again, maybe we will make a move but no one really knows.
If he wants to join us in January and we are in fact interested then it will happen. He has a release clause so if we pay that the club has to let him go. He gets more time with Pep and establishes himself in Rodri’s absence.
Still has to settle and it is a huge risk to make that move midseason especially with us struggling for form. There is no wriggle room for him to fully acclmatise. His agent would probably advise him to stay put until the end of the season see if there is more interestered clubsCobblers. Say we miss out on CL they are more likely to not want to come. Right now they’d be joining a side hopefully still in 3 tournaments with the best manager in the world. Who wouldn’t want to move midseason to a side that is now considered one of the best in world football. Forget current form which is garbage somehow we are still 2nd in table.
Every player that joins us tells anyone who wants to hear that the club are world class in making their move and subsequent lives as smooth as possible.Still has to settle and it is a huge risk to make that move midseason. There is no wriggle room.
Midseason is the worst time to do that if we aren't form. During the summer is the better time and gives him that bit of extra time to get used to his teamates.Every player that joins us tells anyone who wants to hear that the club are world class in making their move and subsequent lives as smooth as possible.
Sure, but needs must and we’re not in normal times.Midseason is the worst time to do that if we aren't form. During the summer is the better time and gives him that bit of extra time to get used to his teamates.
Anyone who arrived in Jan been a bust immediately (1st team not CFG) ? Laporte, Alvarez, Jesus? All hit the ground runningSure, but needs must and we’re not in normal times.
There is no need for desperate signings either. Nunes is a useful asset and although he isn't a player that protects the back 4 he still has that energy need and drive currently missing in our set up.Sure, but needs must and we’re not in normal times.
