I think Robertson still possible

Anything else will pure random opportunism, nothing by design
Robertson may have been possible if we'd sent Souza on loan to Roma, who love a Brazilian. They'd have shipped Tsimikas back to the dippers and Liverpool would've okayed the AR switch to us.

But pretty sure Lange never even thought of it.
 
I don't understand how you can let a player like Son leave without a clear plan to replace him? I still can't believe we have such incompetent people running this club. When you sell a world class, legendary player, you need to bring in a decent replacement. You can't rely on two teenage nobodies to step up.

6 months on from Son's departure and we still don't have a left-winger to replace him or any real idea of who to target. It makes my blood boil. How can we pay millions of pounds to people like Lange, Paratici and Vinai for this nonsense? What the fuck do they do all day?
Pal, we never replaced Hugo, Walker, Rose, the elite Belgian CB combo act, Mousa, Eriksen, Dele or Kane.
 
Because it would be so unlike Lange and co to do that...
They are using data a little bit more sophisticated than the eye test or whatever weird spider diagrams you see on Twitter.

When you pretend they can’t see the differences between Gallagher and Jones, that reflects more on you than them.

You have to be able to discern crazy clickbait from reality.

Please tell us all what kind of data that is then?

Tell me how Gallagher manages to improve us which allows us to play better or more progressive football. What has he shown in the 2 games he's played to tell you that he's actually made a difference?

Anyone will tell you Jones and Gallager are completely different players, I dont see how you can't see that.

Please learn to read.

I can’t be dealing with this low IQ shit.
 
It looks like we will end up with am almost net zero transfer spend.

Frank can suggest that we bid for anyone that would improve our squad it totally absurd, but he's the sort of managerial bullshitter that ENIC love.

It may be a difficult transfer window but it does appear that other leading teams with far less injuries, in a better league position have added players where they see a need.

ENIC for all their bluster and bravado just don't want to speculate to accumulate, and some fans are gullible enough to drink in their coo aid on being ambitious.

The signing of Souza and Gallagher are not a sign of a Premier League club showing ambition.

I've watched him a handful of times now and he's been excellent. Genuinely 2 footed, quick off the mark, can take the defender on the inside and outside.

Not bothered by the stats personally, I've watched him and he's been far more influential than Diomande.

And as AberdeenYid AberdeenYid mentioned, he is keeping the highly rated Diomande out of his natural position. Despite Diomande's stats looking better.
Fair enough, I haven’t seen a lot of him. I get that not every player is high output goals and assists, but 2g/1a is poor by any metric. I’d be very wary of spending big money on a player with stats that poor in the Bundesliga. He’s also extremely injury prone.

20-25m sure. But Leipzig will want at least 40 or 50m, and he just hasn’t done anywhere near enough to justify that

Have they really used data for Connor? As fir jones again your looking at £40M for HG English player. I’m sure plenty of midfielders out there cost far less and better. Other teams seem to find them.
 
He’s played every game in his favoured position this season.
Ok, I was maybe then imprecise, sorry.

There were several articles in Norwegian press about how he was used much more defensively, and in a wingback position in RBL, but may have changed now then (I have seldom wathed his club games).

Still think he has a more free, attacking role in the national team. Coach Solbakken said this in a pc just months back. Anyway, Nusa is the real deal now, and would be an upgrade to our few alternatives at LW
