villa89 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Seems like its been a quiet window for most teams apart from us and Chelsea. Not a good idea to leave your business until late in the window. Well run clubs get it done early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say who has the higher ceiling, Branthwaite is pretty highly rated himself. Yoro looked okay when we played Lille, was he not bullied off the ball by Watkins in one of the games? Still think it's a strange signing from United, he only has 12 months left on his contract, so are paying double now so he doesn't go to Madrid. It's kind of similar to the Hojlund deal, paying big money for potential, but is he gonna improve them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of similar to the Hojlund deal, paying big money for potential, but is he gonna improve them now? It is hard, that’s true. Branthwaite has 4 years on him, mind, even if 22 is no real age. (FWIW, I don’t really remember us bullying Lille at any point - they were better than us in both games). The second paragraph is probably exactly why they’ve moved. He’s a talent being linked with the biggest clubs in Europe. I remember a Lille fan coming on here and speaking very highly of Yoro, saying he wouldn’t stick around and would be going to Madrid. Would he improve them now? Probably, yes. He’s basically replacing Varane or Lindelof and is likely better than Maguire already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
