Bit of consistency, please. maybe there's an asute signing, to be had like a young Dzeko....do I have to spell it out?...maybe an Evan Ferguson. just because I say something, doesn't mean its exclusive anyway.....widen your horizons, please. just because I say, I like tall players, doesn't mean I don't like small ones....maybe I need to explain myself better, for some.

On the surface it appears " controversial " , but truth is, we ain't really seen him at all since injury. Depends on how he comes back IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villaphan04 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Also, we've been looking at Sporting games for a few months now, maybe we have been looking at Ugarte but it wasn't rumored as him at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean though. I kinda meant, in style and stature....but if you know what I mean? you get it. It would also be nice to find a player like Mahrez...whats wrong with that.....is it too obvious? Edited May 11, 2023 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioVilla Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Ugarte is a massive, world class, sure thing talent. Signing him means we would defeat the Sky 6 and the Galacticos to sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRO Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 why do so many fans Baulk, when we propose top talent in Europe.....We are 8th in arguably the strongest league....Salaries are well paid, and the profile is very good. I don't see any reason why, we should feel intimidated by other teams.....they all can't play in the champions league, and there are plenty of players, we should be interested in, who are not in the champions league places. We have done fantastic in UE's run......but there are plenty out there, within our grasp, that can create a significant upgrade for us.....We have to be cute, and I am sure we will be. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it clear now that we mean business under Emery, and with Alemany coming in from Barca. A lot of fans from other clubs are going to be shocked at some of the signings we’ll make. I feel a couple of big marquee signings happening this summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans from other clubs are going to be shocked at some of the signings we’ll make. I feel a couple of big marquee signings happening this summer. For me, the most important thing, is to get players who can stregthen us....I mean properly strengthen us, not sexy names who just rock up at B6 and we struggle to get a tune out of them. I am not opposed to big money signings, but to date, we are do not have a great record with them, so we need to apply a decent bit of due dilligence. I am still heavily in favour of character, determination and will to win.....characteristics some fans say is a given......its far from a given in my book. The top of this league, requires exceptional skill , no doubt, but it also requires fighters too...players who only know too well, their skill/talent/guile call it what you will.....will be negated without application. I feel sure UE will be mindful of this, going in to this window....because in the past, we have seen some new players, not reach the level, we thought....We know, every signing can't be right, but like the results, we need to get more right than wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
