Transfers The Summer Transfer Edging Thread 2025

I actually think the pressing game that Frank brings will benefit him hugely.

I can remember when Mourinho had us playing the structured press, before we capitulated to West Ham and he went ultra defensive, and Bentancur was elite in that. We were setting traps, forcing their defenders to pass to the player that we wanted them to pass to, and Bentancur was usually the one that sprung the trap, nicking the ball high and often setting up or scoring a goal. We've never really seen that since.

As with any player, play to his strengths and you'll see the best of him.
Bent wasn’t playing under Jose😀
 
No comparison - Sarr takes up a squad place, Devine does not.

As of today we have TWO players too many in CL squad, so we need to find ways to take them out.

But at same time we were running short of players - and for that the only way is to add List B or CT players ...... and we do not have good options of CT players, but we do have options in List B of whom Devine is probably the best option - looked good last preseason and has played both Championship and in Belgium top league.

We could drop Sarr into PL and domestic cup squad only (no CL) as we have a little more space in that squad, but doubt if he'd play much unless we have an injury crisis.
Surely Devine needs to be given a chance at some point. We can’t keep buying foreign youngsters who then all the excuses under the sun for not being ready or will take them 2/3 years to.reach potential. All the while never give any game time to our own. Just imagine if Kane was coming through now I bet he’d be dumped on loan and we’d get a youngster from abroad instead. And many on here would he needs to go on loan but ignore the fact we’d just bought a youngster to our club who is deemed good enough not to go on loan.
 
Dropping Maddison / Kulusevski then? Don’t think Sarr is better than Maddison as a playmaker.
MADDs when fit should be first name on team sheeet outside of the defenders. No one else is as creative or has the ability to beat a man. Anyone thinks otherwise haven’t seen our attacking players plod around. In the final our attacking players were awful could keep the ball or make a pass.
 
I said it a while back don't handicap the new manager with punt signings. Honestly we are in the cl just won a cup and already the links dissapoint me. We need at least 2 big big signings i will be suprised if we even get 1. Conditioned for enic windows I don't expect any miracle but I always have hope we learn our lesson each window
 
Wasn't he playing #6 at Villa?

Not seen him since he left.
Boubacar Kamara and/or Leander Dendoncker generally sat in behind giving him more license to play box-to-box.

True classy 6's are rare, but the very best teams will almost always have one.

Honestly, Bissouma is that player on his day, the idea that he's out of position there is fake news really, he just doesn't play well 2 out of every 3 games.
 

Use the search feature on here and put in Hercules, Trix or any of the other 'ITK's from SC. They are widely understood to be milking an ever-reducing number of gormless/gullible fans with their 'enter coin to continue' tactics.

They are leaning heavily on the astrology playbook.
