Monchengladbach can ask for what they want but will be lucky to get 6 million as him and his agent can just wait They’re in a relegation battle. Probably better off keeping him if he’s that good.

If he is that good why are they in a relegation battle . I haven't really seen this guy play and I was excited when we were linked. The PR behind him is very good. But the more I read about him the more I want to steer clear. If he is that good and is only 7m then why haven't a big team snapped him up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, speaking in literal terms he has, but that very much doesn't mean that he ever should again. *checks notes* 10 games covering at CB. 17 goals conceded. I didn't recall it going particularly well. I mentioned it. Obviously it's not ideal, especially since you are losing him in midfield. That's only marginally more than an average team concedes a game, again without having him in midfield to help cover defensively. He'd be 4th choice for CB, but he can play there. Ofc it's not ideal, but unless we want to sign 2 more players signing a guy who is primarily a CDM/CM who can also play CB if needed is smart.

I'm not trying to stick up for him by the way, I can’t say I’ve seen him play, not that I recall anyway. I am just pointing out that it’s not down to 1 player not being as good as people say, it’s usually that the team are poor but doesn’t mean the player is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you considered that big clubs might be Interested (linked to Bayern, Juve, Man Utd and Arsenal) but is weighing up his options, as there are 2 weeks until the window closes?

villabromsgrove Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 2 hours ago, Zatman said: I dont think that is correct. Your allowed 4 loans but 2 from Premier League clubs. I think Tuanzebe going frees up a space According to Premier League rules it is four loans in total for the whole season, but only two loans at any one time, so that would be a maximum of two in the first half of the season and two in the second half, or just two loan players if they were both whole season loans. Having Coutinho and Olsen on loan (at the same time) for the rest of this season would mean that we couldn't loan any more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's looking like the PL is a big step up for a lot of these Bundesliga players so we have to be careful with that. Unfortunately, you pay a premium for players like Bissouma who you know are going to hit the ground running. Yeah the bundesliga has been hit and miss with imports lately. Sancho, Werner, Joelinton, Havertz. They probably will all come good eventually but it does make you question the level over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no really easy games in the Prem, so it becomes arduous....you need players, who can deal with arduous work....to get consistency. Teams in Europe seem to have less difficult games, than in England...thats how it seems to me anyway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
