Top 4 Rivals : Transfers and Discussion

[LeTallecWiz]

He doesnt fit them at all imho.

I concur but who knows

 

[i_rushie]

I simply do not understand how they are possibly complying with FFP.

 

[Hansern]

The tweet was from 3 hours ago. Ornstein confirmed Jorginho to Arsenal 30 mins ago. They're not getting Caicedo.

 

[King Binny]

Good deal for Chelsea getting money for a player who's contract is expiring. Enzo deal should be close then?

 

[Hansern]

It will turn out to be a very poor deal for Arsenal I reckon. This is very uncharacteristic in terms of the transfer strategy they've had for the last few seasons.

squaddie to cover in case of injuries

An average old squaddie with high wages that doesnt fit in with their high energy working midfield.
I like it.

It seems like an odd choice and I hope it fails... but... they are a very youthful team that accommodate an old leggy player if set up correctly.

 

[ibromurph]

It won't matter so much if they get Caicedo too, as seems to be the twitter rumours.

Yeah, the Xhaka - Jorginho combo sounds promising.

They bought Jorginho because they couldnt get Caicedo.

 

[ibromurph]

They bought Jorginho because they couldnt get Caicedo.

Fair enough.

But if they end up getting him in the summer, and it was a choice between Lakonga and Jorginho for the rest of the season as cover, then going for experience was probably the right move.

 

[Judge Jules]

I simply do not understand how they are possibly complying with FFP.

The media are ascribing it to the long contracts they're giving new signings, enabling them to write down those players' respective valuations over a long period.

 

[Hansern]

Doherty to Atletico Madrid must be one of the weirdest ones yet.

 

[Fabio]

United going for Sabitzer after eriksen was ruled out for a few months

 

[dee]

United and Chelsea are both after Marcel Sabitzer apparently

He plays in CENTRAL MIDFIELD

 

[dogboy]

United and Chelsea are both after Marcel Sabitzer apparently

He plays in CENTRAL MIDFIELD

He's also injury prone and average at best.

 

[dogboy]

Same with Trippier a couple of seasons ago.

 

[SummerOnions]

They love a spurs right back

 

[jan]

Sabitzer looks like he doesn't wash his hands after having a shit

They don’t care about next season. This is all about winning the title this season. In that regard it’s an excellent move as they have no cover.

Yeah
[article]Carragher said: “I think if I’m right Elneny has pick something up which may be a bit more serious than they’re letting on at the moment and he’s the back-up for midfield and they need to bring someone in.”[/article]

He's not very good though.

 

[Hansern]

They very much care about next season. But yeah, cover. Although a not very good one.

 

[rurikbird]

Kind of funny:

 

[binomial]

He's also injury prone and average at best.

He'd fit right in then.

 

[binomial]

Sabitzer looks like he doesn't wash his hands after having a shit

Looks like he doesn't wash fullstop.

 

[Frogfish]

Not a very good one eh. Last year he was rated one of the Top 5 players in the world (The Guardian). So has he also fallen off a cliff ? Or is something different about this season that seems to have affected a lot of players? Let me think what could it be? Hmm.

 

[King Binny]

Did what they needed to (despite missing out on Mudryk and Caicedo). Bonus that both the midfielder and attacker has EPL experience too. B+?



He won't dislodge Partey and Xhaka but is a good option when protecting the lead and/or for Europa League.
