It's Quiet - a new dawn

Wouldn't he be quite an expensive backup?

Yes and a crap move for him at this stage of his career - he needs to play.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I'd be fine with Valdes as backup if Bravo departs, we're not going to find an English keeper who's good enough with his feet to act as backup (Pickford will want to start).

 

[BusterPhillips]

Who do we have as backup keeper? I'd push for an English keeper, but there's none out there.

Richard Wright.

Lille boss Marcelo Bielsa is interested in signing Claudio Bravo (34) on loan, with Bill willing to cover a % of his wages. [El Mercurio]

Marcelo Bielsa must be looking for a way out of Lille.

Paul Robinson

Yeah, Valdez would be a very good option. But if it happened I'd rather we sold Bravo then loan him out.

 

[RayCTID]

Selling Bravo would be very difficult imo (especially if he is unsettled, and not many teams willing to match our valuation, even if his stock is low at this present time). Loan is the better option for now imo. Bravo gets more game time and gets some of his confidence back under a coach he knows well,in readiness for the World Cup and we will have a bit of peace (sorry wrong spelling) and quiet for 12 months and having a fully focused and motivated keeper on our books this season.

Lol.

I think the initial question was about this quote by one of BM members:

I doubt the Kimmich thing - probably was trolling the young one.

But that Walter could be Tim Walter who coaches the U17 together with Schweinsteiger's brother, too.

Only watched the first 20 seconds....I'm sure there could be a video like this made on any player.

To think he's a donkey is madness, he may well not be in the top 10 forwards in the world but come on bud, he's much better than that snapshot.

That shitty ball control, poor passing ability and general unawareness of intricate movement is not a false snapshot. Its a pretty common thing with him.

Yea he scores a lot. Yes he is powerful and athletic. But he is 10 times worse than Aguero was at Aguero's worst when it comes to team play.

Sometimes folks suggest certain players for us and I have to wonder if they watch us, watch the players they've suggested or watch football critically at all.

It just boggles the mind sometimes. :(

Showing my age but he reminds me of Norman Wisdom running with his milk and shouting Mr Grimsdale.

Haha. Great shout!

I just startled a lot of people on a bus at 04:20 this morning by laughing loudly at this! Thanks for that @allan harper.

Diego Costa unwanted at Chelsea. Can't really go to Atletico because of transfer ban.
Worth a sneaky bid instead of Sanchez?

Not for me. Lukaku to Chelsea then.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I bet it's a high %

110%

 

[Kippax.]

Costa what a great addition for someone.

Would hate it if the rags got him.

 

[SWP's back]

Pickford?

He's too good to be a number two. Would stunt his progression.

 

[Rammyblues]

Costa will go to Madrid and wait till January IMO

 

[domalino]

Far too expensive as well, Sunderland want £25m+

Costa & Fellaini in same team! Not a pretty sight! But what an aggressive formation!
