Laughable Chimp Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) 28 minutes ago, TRO said: Not sure any of these rumours are bona fide, but Arnaut Danjuma has got good numbers for a winger. Has played here, and 25....could be a decent shout. I don't think that is going to happen. However, We will soon see, what the managers thoughts really are.....actions speak louder than words. If no one comes in, he may share your view, if they do, perhaps he doesn't. I think it is misleading to keep blaming Gerrard for, even if the roof leaks.....He didn't work out granted, but he was only here for a short time.....and some of the players he brought in were good additions, some were not. I Think despite UE possibly improving the playing outcome( still only 2 league games in).....we still need strengthening. Danjuma looks like he’s had a pretty terrible start to the league this season though. Only 1 non-penalty goal and 0 assists in 9 games. He was linked to west ham at 40 million this summer. I’d say there’s probably better uses of that money. have to say, I haven’t been too happy with the players we’ve been linked too so far. They don’t seem to be “smart” deals per se.

Lupinthe5th Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I'd rather just keep with the squad we've got if we cant get our number 1 targets in Jan. If they're not 1) Gonna improve the starting 11 or 2) Hot prospects of World Football we don't want them! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them play for pretty mediocre teams, I'd imagine the WC will have raised their profiles somewhat. I think the Manager of the Morocco team is the real star here. It's probably his profile which should raise the most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a fickle business, by Nature. I think the general consensus, that you allude to is.....World cup performances can be misleading....Remember Rodriguez from Columbia. I hope they are all thinking about this when they eye up our Emi. Edited December 14, 2022 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tends to be the smart deals that get the fans on forum boards moaning to be honest. They aren't "fashionable" signings, therefore they are generally mocked immediately. Look at the Dendoncker signing for example. Smart signing for the money, generally derided on here when the links appeared.

Azzedine Ounahi who plays for Angers is being 'monitored' by Barcelona and is linked €45m move to Leicester. I suspect he'll not be the only player in the team to be linked with a transfer off the back of this World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
