Summer Transfer Window (2024/25)

[Pinebro]

On Bissaka I do not rate the guy at all.

He has 1 trait being a slide tackling merchant.

Much more to defending than slide tackling.

The amount of times I've seen him in absolutely no man's land during corners and crosses. Guy's positional awareness is horrific.

Couple that with his lack of attacking prowess and high wages it's a big no for me

Florian Plettenberg is the source for this.

I read that as Bayern are close to signing him but the "doubt" is in the number on the table, throw in some rich PL clubs, get your man another £10k a week

I’m not sure how reliable is the link, nor have seen him play. But those are the most exciting links. Can’t say that Youtube clips says everything but he seem good, and highly rated. With a huge potential.

Why do people think we would swap McKennie for Luiz? Even a brief look online tells you that's nuts.

Luiz is valued €70m and McKennie is €25m.

The Italian media are those who are thinking this, people also underestimate our management and board to think deals like this can happen.

put him in an organised defense and he would be very good.

Luiz wants to leave and we'll sell him to anyone who asks or swap him for really sh*t players.

Watkins will sign for Arsenal or Liverpool or pick any team that wants him and asks.

And we'll sell anyone for FFP.

He was my man of the match in cup final but he isnt well rounded enough for a top 6 team

I like wan bassaka as he can actually defend and defend excellently.  Hw is terrible offensively but we dont really need him to do that

[thabucks]

No way is AWB an upgrade on Cash and shouldn’t be in any conversation with us.

We do need him to be good in possession, though, and he's not really that. 

I agree that he's a very good defender but I don't think he has the skillset to play in an Emery team.
