Summer Transfers

I did read your comments on Upamecano on that page, however i have watched a lot of the leagues that have started back up, and they all have one thing in common they are not match fit they have no pace, poor ball control and lack awareness,15 minutes of flicking through the channels i had seen 3 sending off`s and 3 penalties not related, if you think our players will not be the same, you are in for a shock, by the way the player that plays like Mangala was Kouibaly big fast strong not particularly good in the air and poor ball control, but he was given time and improved, if anything Upamecano is more like Denayer.
At some point Sancho will as i said, but Sancho did not pick Dortmund by accident, and Dortmund are certainly as big as the clubs linked with him, at the moment
Cancelo is making a lot of noise, the transfer request would be a put up or shut up.

Yeah I just don't see it with Upamecano, he's obviously a very good player but I think a lot of posters advocating for his signature will be very disappointed if he ever signs due to the mistakes, not just the big ones either but that's just my opinion. I don't actually think there's a centre back around at the moment good enough to justify spending Harry Maguire type money.

Sancho, I disagree, I just think you're pissing in the wind but again that's just my opinion.

Cancelo; transfer requests are a very much a last resort, there's no need for the hostility either way, I just think it's pathetic. We're all grown men/women, if he wants to go, let him go. I'm sure he didn't come here with bad intentions and I'm sure he's not leaving with bad intentions, it's just not working out for whatever reason, no need for bad blood.

You have watched Upamecano play badly but just like Maguire his strength is the ability to play left and right usually well, as for the Maguire type money we will only pay that for Kouilbaly or Skriniar
As for Sancho i believe he is looking at Griezman and saying to himself i am better, and certainly his agent will be putting that across,
Cancelo is moaning at the club it is not hostility he is a valuable player for us but we need team spirit and harmony in the camp

See this is where I question how well you know our system; we need a left footer on the left. I'm not saying that to be a cock by the way, so please don't be offended by that, I just don't know how else to say it.

Without the natural balance of a left footed at LCB our build-up play is slow and predictable, as well as making it very easy for opposition teams to shutdown our entire left hand side. A naturally right footed LCB can never be as comfortable playing out to the left, so the slightest bit of pressure on him will see him take the easy option. It also restricts the type of pass, you can't ping one into a wingers running path without a bigger risk of interception because the natural curl on the ball will be the wrong way to what you want, it'll always go inside (middle of the pitch) to out (touchline), instead of arching down the touchline side which is safer and less likely to be intercepted so allows more frequent attempts.

It sounds over the top but I know someone who did his coaching badges not too long ago and we got onto the topic when Laporte was out and he explained it, in more detail than I wanted to hear but when you watch us it makes sense and you actually see it a couple of times a game.

Angelino transfer in doubt due to lack of finances (or they are just angling to get him much cheaper) - either way that will put a dent in the coffers for our transfer kitty

This is where Trixy has to be clever, they want him and can afford him Red Bull are a rich club, but are still going to barter on the 30 million original press quote , if we sell on the never never it is the total price that FFP take into account, which is why Barca want rid of Dembele and Coutinho,

It’s just that the Leipzig gaffer says there has been no agreement and even contact from Chelsea?

yeah i saw he said there was no agreement but i didnt see he had said there had been no contact..the talk of him going to chelski seems pretty solid and all over the mainstream media -

agreed. I wonder why Werner allegedly turned us down? Game time I assume being the main one?
