OutByEaster? Posted August 28, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2023 I'm not sure Brennan is a great fit for us - he'd be back up to Diaby you'd have thought. He's a decent fit for Spurs though, they need to replace Son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it Paddy? He seems to get genuine information. Some guy commented a while back (who Neil said was legit) and then Zaniolo was signed… Regardless, I feel confident that we will bring in at least, and maybe just, 2 signings of genuine quality to make us stronger. We’ll be in a better place once the window closes… it’s going to be a good season… Yeah in the post match review, it came from him, not a comment.

TRO Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 35 minutes ago, Jas10 said: Already shared the comment but it’s been put online again today, Unai says there are 4 days left and we are ready for players leaving and joining… Monchi will be relentless… I don’t think anyone’s expecting more than a couple of signings but more would be welcome for sure, depends on who is leaving. Once again, quality not quantity. Despite the suggestions, there isn’t a single person here who wants signings for the sake of it - nor is there anyone at the club who wants that. Unai will continue to elevate and strengthen this squad and team over time… we want to keep pushing, progressing and competing. No standing still or accepting mediocrity. just hope we don't lose any of our midfield players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Emery had signed him for Arsenal but he had been gone 18 months when he turned up. Don't really see the point of letting Digne go to replace him with this guy regardless of FFP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy to keep Digne, to January at least. Him and Moreno offer something different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Moreno is back soon, Digne is playing really well; i'd hope Tavares isn't required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Id love us to sign a left footed winger to balance the squad out. Diaby can play anywhere, but he can’t play everywhere. It will give us options and excellent squad depth, especially when Ramsey returns. Would still like a backup keeper who is much better than Olsen with his feet, but it’s not a priority.

Don’t think we will and anyone who wants out would need their head examining tbh and imo… we are in such a great place and they are getting to work under an amazing manager. The only way is up if we keep going this way… We have protected our assets… just need to get Ollie to sign a new deal… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but not if Unai actually wants him… hard to tell what is and isn’t BS these days… Maybe he sees a lot of potential and development in him… a player he can work with and work on Edited August 28, 2023 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how Tavares is a benefit. All signs say he isn't as good as Digne..so except for saving money if we sell Digne, not seeing the benefit here.

Our width will be provided by Moreno / Digne / LB. Emery will want our "wide" left player to cut in and try and score goals rather than beat his man on the outside and whip in a cross. This is how we line up on the right and also the way that Ramsey / Buendia played when they played in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, Would be very underwhelming to let Digne go and bring Tavares in. Would rather we keep Digne. We have Moreno to come back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
