JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Experienced , cheap cover on the cheap. Will cover JJ etc until they are back. I don't hate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not be superstars, but they fit his system. It’s fine, I’ll get behind it if it’s what Unai wants. Would like to think we’re all free to have differing opinions on players and not just expected to endorse or be delighted by everything… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Does anyone have a list of left-footed centre backs around Europe, potentially available on a season long loan, to cover Mings? (Sorry if this is covered above, as I am busy watching CFC v LFC & writing a list of Chelsea players in & out post-Abramovich. On the 2nd notepad.)

And it’s what we signed up for. We’ve made three big name signings already. So, don’t see the issue with a ‘water carrier’ type signing like Harrison.

Ok I’d have preferred different/better but that’s just me… Maybe this was “forced on us” in a sense. Maybe we make more/better moves, having to manage a budget… I don’t know, I’m just not overjoyed or excited about it. But I’ll always support Unai… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_Zooms Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Harrison has never been good enough IMHO. Prof Emery might drag talent out of him, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's averaged more than 12 goals+assists per season in the 3 years he's been in the prem. How is that not good enough cover a player whose best is 10?

Jas10 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Really complex and weird one this… Conflicting reports as to where he’s going… And he’s apparently injured for 5/6 weeks too… in that case, what’s the bloody point?

I’m sure the Villarreal fans weren’t that excited when they signed Spurs and Watford reject Etienne Capoue. This is just what Emery does, we’ll just have to get behind it.

Sure, I will… just having an opinion beforehand as meaningless as that is… Might not even be happening now either… Also, Unai was working if we different “parameters” or limitations at clubs like Villarreal… worth taking into account… Same goes for Monchi and he expressly stated this in a recent interview… they have greater “capacity” here… but can’t go crazy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
