The Unreliable Transfer Rumours Discussion Thread (Part 5)

Definitely, thats why all this shite about poor planning regarding Mo leaving is a load of crap.

There are no attainable quality Right Wingers out there, ergo scraping the barrel.

A lot of youtubers have done lots videos on potential RW’s and the only standout that was attainable was Diomande, next is probably Minteh but not for the best reasons.

I might be proved wrong in the long run but I’m glad we didn’t get Diomande based on what I saw in the WC. Didn;t seem up for it at all.

Pardo scored 8, Barcola 11

Pardo had more assists, but Barcola was down on asists this year due to shite finishing.

I had some hope about him being a rabbit out of the hat sort of signing. The old hijack.

8 + 5 = 13
11 + 2 = 13

Right but Fernandez Pardo had top quality players finishing what he created and creating for him?

Obviously Barcola is way better, but he can´t be quite as tosh as the 41 minutes of World Cup football you judged him on suggested to you.

Yet you watch youtube videos for your analysis, without saying so and they are then the best thing since sliced bread.

Check Barcolas expected assists stats, Mr know all

I literally just gave you statistics (not from Youtube) and you say that :smiley:

But alright, im sure your 41 minutes were enough. Agree to disagree.

Because it is true, but you make out so and so player is good and never say it is based on watching on YT, which we all do.

Yeah I should just watch 41 minutes of sub appearances.

I´m sure you watched Barcola play lots in Ligue 1. I´m sure you didn´t just read about his expected XG and derive your football opinions from numbers collected by stats teams.

Either way. I think they have picked up a talent at Newcastle, so lets see.

I regularly mention where my assessment of a player has come from, as I did on the post that you jumped in on.

I was well aware of Barcolas stats regarding assists which is covered in lots of YT videos when assessing potential wide players for us and like Livvy if I find something interesting I will post the link.

Yes he may be a talent, but the bit I saw nothing popped.

Fair enough. No problem. Good on you.

Will not derail the thread further.

So..do we think this is it? I’m still hoping for something to happen tomorrow.

Minteh? Camara? An unexpected bomba? :eyes:

This is what I hope for too. We are still short.

If we’re not going to use Harvey and Chiesa as seems the likely situation, then one more forward to allow them both to leave would be good to see. With Cody seemingly staying, even the issues with Minteh’s current unavailability seem pretty easy to deal with.

Yes I think so. I´d be very happy with Camara or another good midfielder at this stage.

I´d even consider our summer window satisfactory and be vaguely optimistic about our squad going into the season, and that our leadership knows what it´s doing more broadly in terms of squad building for the coming years.

Its all gone quiet on him

Yeah seems like it´s not happening but who knows.

Maybe we´ll get a surprise player in tomorrow. For sure Iraola would want one or two more at least.
