Indigo Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 23 minutes ago, Laughable Chimp said: They are "verified" according to Capology, their source for their wage data. "A player's wage is considered 'verified' if it's been provided directly by the club or agent, and/or confirmed by multiple sources". They're meant to be alright, but there were a lot of inaccuracies pointed out at the time they incorporated them on the site, to the point where FBRef themselves said there would be errors and the whole thing was a "work in progress". I'm sure a lot of it is correct but would take it with a pinch of salt regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comparison doesn't make sense at all. I'm not saying its exactly the same, but it stinks of the same kind of fall out. I've been doing a bit of basic research into this over the last hour or so. Apparently the lyon fans had a banners at one of the recent games telling him (along with a couple of others I may add) to get out of the club. That sounds a bit like the Coutinho relationship with the barca fans to me. Fans don't turn on players like that for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyon fans have a reputation of being a bit crazy do they not? or is that Marseille? The other player was Aouar, who i'd not say no to either.

Fans hate players like that who aren't "dedicated" to the club and leaving on a free means they get no transfer fee.

nepal_villan Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I presume if he joins us it will be on a multi year deal. Want to avoid a situation where we are carrying deadwood down the road just to cover a short-term gap. If we sign him, hope it’s because Emery sees him as a longterm solution.

I'm not a manager, although I do work in football, watch football all over the world and one of my partners is a PL agent so, whilst I am not Sir Alex, I do like to think I know a bit about football. And certainly enough to have an opinion. Where did I say you couldn't have an opinion? You have yours, you've stated it as is your right. I'll just trust Emery instead was my point.
