That would be some skill coming in to add to the McGinn graft and Ramsey potential. Would certainly give us to more options up top and out wide. I usually green light the players you recommend, i dont know much about Kudus but stats look good in his league, never seen Guler but heard hes a certified baller. Goncalves is the link i feel has the most steam to become real. Does everyone think the days of us signing a player out of nowhere is gone because our new staff and set up is different and we will now see who we are on the verge of signing more out there in the air?

I simply said back up your opinion, rather than dismissing links based on flimsy reasoning (i.e. plays in an inferior league at 26). If you have more constructive reasoning then I and everyone else would probably like to hear it, as it'll add value to the debate, but you didn't offer that in your initial post. I didn’t feel anything more would be required other than what I stated, to me it pretty much speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not! I am annoyed at you dictating to everyone else what we/they should do based on your view. I don’t give a monkeys what peoples views are on Pedro, but I think they should be able to make them themselves without forced views or ridicule. Thats my opinion of course! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I haven't got a clue who we will sign, but one thing I'm certain of is that Monchi will know every single detail about the suitability and availability of each of Emery's targets. Meanwhile as fans of the same club we should be able to speculate in a friendly manner while waiting for the signings to happen. UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for one most of us should know football insider is a sickening source, others mentioned them being that and nothing said , id rather not waste thread material on seeing nonsense, secondly i wasnt forcing anything with players its just my opinion on a potential transfer WHATS the problem bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the Brazilian league has more money these days so better quality players do stay there. You get them called up to the National team. Wasn’t Ángel around 25 when we signed him? I see your point though. If he was good enough for the Premier league you’d think he’d be in Europe by now.

Arguably biggest club in Brazil with 8 titles in the last 4 years including Brazil champions as recent as in 2019, 2020 and Copa Libertadores winners in 2022 not enough then?

If i had to put an age cap on them having the talent and leaving the league id probably say 24 max, the great sharks will be circling around the 20/21 mark usually and snapping them up, but they dont stick around in them leagues and want European football.

maqroll Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 42 minutes ago, RicRic said: Your right if they perhaps played in one of europes top leagues but you wouldn’t be in those leagues for so long if you had something different to stand out respectfully of course I think your position is largely supported by how these things typically play out, but in MY opinion, you'd be a fool to dismiss a player outright based on this criteria. It took me all of a few seconds to think of a really good South American player who didn't move to a top European league until his late 20's (Martin Palermo). I'm sure there are plenty of others over the years. I get what you're saying, but I just don't agree with the reflexive application of your prejudice.
