The Unreliable Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 4)

Yeah I could win the lottery but I haven’t bought a ticket.

At least with Arne there was poor performances, a fan base that seemed angry and player issues.

With this it’s basically someone writing something up and attaching it to a reputable source but the reputable source isn’t even the source.

There is unreliable and there is cancelled.

Remember Suarez’s season before he took the premier league by storm? He hit the woodwork more than any player I can remember. And then he transformed into this glorious monstrosity of a player.
I was hoping the same would happen for Darwin. He has ALL the raw materials. Sadly, he doesn’t have the footballing brain that Luis did.

Nunez scored more goals in 2023-24 than any of our players managed last season, I’ll just leave that there :thinking:

They are even more irritated at Liverpool as one of their targets is being targeted for a transfer worth €12.5m by Liverpool according to TIA (Kennet Eichhorn).

That´s true, you are right, just Bruno Fernandes but he´s very effective.

Not many teams do it but doesn´t mean it doesnt work.

Have to say I disagree on being from the left. The difference if he is in the middle is he can go all over the final third and impact the game, that is what we want from a player with his abilities.

Why is there so much obsession with Wirtz as a number 10 when, technically, he played most games as a left-sided number 10, which is a hybrid between a winger and a number 10?

I believe Wirtz would be more effective if he were given the license to play closer to the opponent’s box rather than wasting his energy roaming too much. I’d say forcing him to be the main playmaker was one of Slot’s biggest mistakes last season.

Because he´s a number 10.

He wasnt at all the main playmaker. Number 10 should be close to the opponents box. He never got the ball. Our midfield can´t give it to him.

That was the problem.

I think this is what it totally stems from.

Due diligence - “hey Cody there is this football team that plays in a league without RCBs so they have a real weakness versus a fwd who can cut in from the left and shoot. Even better several of the sides play T-rexes in goal so you just have to get it on target to score. You’d have a 20% shot conversion rate!”

That seems a little odd given the differences in league position, underlying strength of the squads and recent histories of the two clubs. Perhaps he is guaranteed starts there and a bigger wage?

Also, if they view last season’s performance as a temporary thing then competing for european places this season would be a quick win for him
