As Gerrard said, we're not here to collect players. And in the real world, where it's not a computer game many things have to allign before people move on or come in. Righto. But there's no point in us hanging on to players who are lacking in ability. And building a competitive squad is literally our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can replace players x y and z who won't be in first regular team and have to go in cold in rotation games and some people will still bitch "play the best XI every game FFS" Edited October 6, 2023 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 people can do what they like quite frankly, Hpefully, we dont buy and sell players based on whether people will bitch and moan on a forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 When we signing Pedro Neto then? I think he's what pretty much everyone expected Bailey to be. Gave Torres a horrible time in the second half, far far too good for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was looking quality for them towards the end of Nuno's time and then did his ACL and it took him a good year to get back into this sort of form. Just had a look and he's been linked to Arsenal regularly so he'll probably end up signing for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Yeah, I'd buy Neto to play wide right. Or, could we set our sights higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Neto would cost £70m plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Bailey has probably outperformed him in the league since he got to England Neto averages 2 goals and 3 assists a season since moving to England Edited October 8, 2023 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Neto, when he’s on, is unplayable. Much like Bailey, he is “on” for about 4-6 matches a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Need to go to Southampton and get Walker-Peters. He's terrified defenders in the PL and would be great cover for Matty Cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks a superstar but doesnt have the numbers to back it up it seems. Is it him or the team he plays in and the managers that have managed him. I don't know.

sne Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Still hope we try for Nico Williams again as long as he doesn't sign a new contract in Bilbao. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the queue has lengthened quite a bit now unfortunately. The usual free signing leeches Barca and Juve are there. Surely there's no way he's going to leave on a free? Having given it the big one last summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbao have a pretty good chance of making CL next season. He ain't leaving them if they're in it and we aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
