They seem determined to prove it works after Lenglet, and Werner.
It’s been a waste of time with all of them so far.

Agreed. Built for what Frank used at Brentford. I'd have taken MGW over the likes of Rodrygo and Simmons tbf..Yeh sucks..... I don't normally get too hung upon on prospective targets but as soon as the links surfaced I was like "yes... he'd be perfect".
MGW over rodrygo!! madness.
João Palhinha - Wikipedia
On 11 July 2024, Palhinha joined Bayern Munich on a four-year deal for €51 million, plus €5 million in add-ons, potentially taking the overall fee to €56 million (£47.4 million).
I think quite a few of you have forgotten some of our worst losses last season, when we got just absolutely overrun by physical PL sides. The Liverpool matches come to mind, as do quite a few others. Ones where we just looked scared and got run through, over and over and over.
Palhinha fixes that. He is a physical, nasty fucker with real bite and venom in his tackles. No one is going to punk us with him in midfield. Attacking buildup will be a challenge… but having a hard cunt in there will be big especially in CL matches and away to top PL sides.

He's alright by me.
Helped fuck their title race, season before last.

Porro, Romero, Madz, Berg surrounding him should hopefully counterbalance his basic-ness on the ball.
Hes been there and done it.
I dont consider him an underwhelming signing at all. He will contribute and that is what matters.
I think we were more a tactical mess than physically run over.
Teams knew exactly how to beat us and most of the time it's a patched together lineup.
Played off the pitch, sure. But bullied? I never got that feeling.
I did when we played Liverpool, we got beat up by them, felt like a physical mismatch. Admittedly though Liverpool are a very athletic team.
Ange would have been MUCH better off with the likes of JP delivering strong and steady at DM every week compared to the mystery box that was Biss & Bentancur's form.

If the midfield balance allows Sarr, Bergvall and Bentancur to act better offensively it might work out well.
Wanyama is probably the best comparison to Palhinha.
Didn't that utter cvnt CB whack Richy apparently he has form well now we can give it back
VVD I think yeh he got away with one.
Its is expected he comes on a one season loan with an option to buy/
At Bayern his contract runs to 2028 (and signed for circa 50m) ...... so at end of loan in June 2026, he's got 2 years left on his contract.
So next summer we either buy him for a cheap fee (unwanted at Bayern, age 31 and only 2 years left on contract), probably at way less than option fee ....... or if we don't buy we can buy whoever we want, or maybe promote one of out own home grown players if Frank thinks they are good enough.
This loan gives us great flexibility.

Conte wanted Lenglet
Once Conte left, his successor wasn't interested in Lenglet ..... so arguably the loan worked perfectly to match manager and his 'perfect LCB)

The forehead has spoken. Quiet mortals.
Conte wanted Bastoni, he got Lenglet on loan because Richy was our “big” signing that summer.
People deny it but I saw Conte already start to turn the moment that transfer window closed and he realized Levy wasn’t really going to try and get him a squad to compete with
