if united get cunha for 62m thats a worry. we should be getting him, instead of wasting 50m on tel and getting mugged off by bayern! go and get proven quality ffs. cunha is a player.
Depends on what position it's for.
If fullback then meh, doesn't add much value.
But he'd be a huge improvement in the Manager spot...
Harsh on Bentancur I think, you're right he's not elite, but he's nowhere near a liability either. Under a competent coach, in a proper system, he'll be perfectly serviceable.
Correct on new deals for VDV/Bergval. Rewarding them too early on the back of some media hype, both have some nice moments, but ultimately have produced fuck all of real value in terms of the big picture. I can see the point to rewarding them, but it should be by smaller increments.
Tel, impossible to judge anyone accurately under an idiot manager. There's a risk that we sign him for £50m and it's a total catastrophe, but there's an equal risk that we pass up the opportunity and he goes on to be a star elsewhere.
Yes, he's a liability in my books. He can't stay fit a whole season (though he's done better on that front this year), his discipline on & off the pitch is questionable (to put it mildly). Play him vs a decent MF duo or trio and he's getting bummed. Definitely not our worst player and sure, under a better coach and with better teammates round him he'd likely improve, but I still think he's not at the level. No way he'd start for City, Woolwich, Liverpool...but they're serious clubs and we aren't. If we were, he's a bench player.
100% re Bergvall.
Micky? I'm not even offering him a new deal (yet).
Sure re first part. But tell you what, I'll trust Bayern's judgment. They know a thing or two about top players, even young ones. If they're happy to let him go, maybe that tells us something. He's done alright here, but no way we should spend 50 mil on him. But then again we spent 65 in Dom, 60 on Richy, 50 on Brennan, 40 on Mads, 40 on Archie, 35 on Biss, 30 on Odobert...
people already have Danso on their sell list despite being good looooooool.
I've seen plenty of games where I didn't even realise Bentancur was playing. Since his injury, he's largely been a passenger and had little or no positive impact on games.
I'm willing to give up on both Bentancur and Bissouma but seeing as the club are probably looking to sell one and keep the other than I'd rather keep Bentancur, anyway to your point...yeah he does go missing and he's been pretty awful playing as a 6 but I keep reiterating that every player has looked lost playing under this manager so I don't think there's much point trying to over analyse his game this season and parts of last season, he's another one that looks shit for Spurs but looks like a world beater for his country.
The standard that some people have for what type of players that we are meant to get is just odd.
Is Danso a top of the line, world class CB? No. Is he a good CB? Yes.
We don't shop in the top of the line aisle apart from the odd Rafa van der Vart gamble. But we can still get good professional footballers in the side.
9 out of 10 windowWalker-Peters, Ings, and Dier incoming…
