Unai is ambitious… he has a chance to mould the team/squad in his own image now… What he offered in games where he came in for Moreno was excellent defensive contributions he had Salah in his back pocket during the Liverpool match. So having a different type of fullback proved beneficial, I think it’s and impossible situation finding and improvement for a reasonable price and then shifting Dinge and booking a FFP profit . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted June 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Ferran Torres on a loan to buy is an absolute no brainer. Would love this one to happen. Edited June 30, 2023 by villarule123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can learn under Moreno and then replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, fair enough. It’s more likely that he hangs around anyway and we’ll need him at the start of the season with Moreno working his way back from injury… I do anticipate Unai further improving our existing players too, aided by some quality additions.

I thought we mainly need a RW/ST? Tbf we need both mate and sell bailey while we’re at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Not entirely sure about Ferran Torres… highly rated talent but is that more to do with his potential and age rather than his performances? Seems to have flattered to deceive perhaps, not exactly prolific… and if Barca are so willing to let him go and make a loss on him (signed for 55m?) … is he as good as many assume? I don’t know… Goncalves seems like a more “effective option”… But this may be dictated by the value of the deal… I don’t think it’s accurate but a loan with option to buy for 25m?!! Seems too good to be true… Goncalves will be more expensive, if there is any shred of truth to that… but, he may bring more goals and assists… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digne is a very capable, tidy footballer but he's also not the type of player to beat a man and hit the byline. You see just how dangerous we become with Moreno doing just that. Not only that, Digne is on £1029847208448560 a week, so it might be good to get him off the books as he isn't getting any younger. With Moreno's injury, we may move Digne on, bring in another LB and then when Moreno comes back, those two can fight it out? Capiche? Doubt we’ll be doing anything of the sort, Emery is trying to sort out the attack, then new goalie and RB before anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of Monchi if just going to make lazy signings like Barnes. Might as well just hire someone from VT Why don’t you let Emery decide what are his players?

We need depth and options and our players are going to be even better next season with time and coaching under Unai. Plus, we’re not going to discard and make big losses on players we invested so heavily in, it doesn’t make sense… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a no brainer but… hard to believe. They signed him for 55m… hard to see them making a massive loss on him while also loaning him without a certainty of permanent deal… Who knows, we will see… I’m not sure he’s the best option though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be possible to book a profit on him unless he went to Saudi. It is more like not booking more than a few million loss on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s going to happen regardless and we’ll endorse whatever he does. But, the point of this thread is to share opinions on transfers and have discussions mate.
