Respect for listing some names bro. My guess for why the club didn’t go for those names and similar players are because:I’m purposely not giving names because the rebuttal is easy…y’all can just say what if the club don’t rate the player/who said they were for sale
But here you go
Thuram - Nice
Kone - gladbach
Alcatraz - kid who jus moved to Southampton
and if we just needed short term then how abt kessie on loan?
You guys keep bringing in transfer fee like I care abt that…my only point is they gave Edu the funds to make a real push for the title and I believe he could have put us in a better position.
On the midfield ideally we go into nxt season w Xhaka Partey plus 2 younger guys which were supposed to be caicedo and rice…that’s almost out the question now knowing how this club moves.
We’ll see how the season goes…hope for the best but I think we should have done better for now and the future
Edit: on the point about us not signing a midfielder if elneny doesn’t get hurt…look at when the bids and rumored bids for midfielders started…look at when they briefed the press on Declan rice.
1. Not high priority/good fit for the long term project.
2. Those players would cost more than a player like Jorginho.
3. Would require longer contracts (4.5-5.5 year deals).
4. None of those players have experience in the league.
I can’t say whether or not they would perform better in the team than Jorginho. But I think we can argue that the moves made were the smarter risks based on what we are looking to accomplish this season (league) and in the future (consistently challenge for the big trophies) and still give us the opportunity to go for top targets in the summer.
But let’s hope for the best bro. We have been great this season so far. If we can avoid losing to City in those two games then I definitely think we are taking the league. Hopefully these signings help with that cause.
