CarefreeMuratcan Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I can't believe it. Out of nowhere we made a signing that's actually exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can make this sort of signing, take a risk that an incredibly talented player has just had bad luck with injury, when you've got a stable squad who aren't consistently ravaged by injury already. To add a player who is either physiologically prone to injury or has had misfortune to a squad characterised by that ... Just an absolutely huge risk imo. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin1905 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) Neto is quality, like him a lot. Don't think anyone saw this coming. Fair play. Edited August 9 by martin1905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud-Blue Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 He is a good player. He's also good with both feet. Although he plays right wing mostly, he can play left just as well. Injury records is a small concern but I'm hopeful that our injury problems won't be as bad this year. It is something the club has worked on. Ultimately I can't be mad at this signing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd agree, but I think even with so many that've had injury issues within the squad our sheer number (for now) will somewhat negate that. We'd have to be hella unlucky for them to all miss significant time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an excellent signing , All i want now are two bigger signings, a top class CF and CB . We need a proven quality CB . I hope we can find one to match our age limit on new signings. 25 and under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original 21 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Good signing. Hope he passes the medical. Pushes Mudryk and Sterling down the pecking order I’d imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better than Madueke too in my opinion. So actually whichever flank he wants is his, unless the plan is to play Palmer right and him left.

Morgs Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) I assume this means one of Mudryk or Sterling are off. Mudryk needs a loan and isn't at the level required so I assume it will be him but I'd prefer to be shot of them both. I'd give Mudryk's squad spot to Tyrique George personally. Sterling I don't think needs replacing as we have Noni Madueke poised for a good season. Lets see. Edited August 9 by Morgs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only, Palmer will end up moving inside when we're attacking, with James or Gusto pushing up (Cucurella inverting). The idea of Neto - Nkunku - Enzo or KDH - Palmer - James or Gusto across the pitch with Jackson (or even Osimhen if they can get that one over the line) ahead of them actually sounds quite good to me... in theory.

Morgs Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 (edited) I was just trying to count in my head how many players we are expecting to move on before the end of the TW and I lost count. Lets count: Kepa, Beach (loan), Bergstrom (loan), Petrovic (loan), Ugochukwu (loan), Castledine (loan), Lukaku, Broja, Gabriel (loan), Washington (loan), Matos (loan), Gallagher, Casadei (loan), Chalobah, Acheampong (loan), Kellyman (loan), Humphreys (loan), Wiley (loan), Anjorin, Datro-Fofana, Moreira (loan), Vale (loan), Taurianen (loan), Barstow (loan), Morgan (loan), Stutter (loan) and Richards (loan). We also have Anselmino, Campbell, Curd, Sharman-Lowe, Penders, Williams, Santos, Willian, Macs, Paez and Gilchrist already out on loan for next season. THIRTY EIGHT PLAYERS. EIGHT GOALKEEPERS. Certainly the squad is too large. The above departures leave the first team squad as: Sanchez, Joergensen, Bettinelli James, Gusto Disasi, Fofana, Badiashile, Adarabioyo, Colwill Chillwell, Cucurella, Veiga, Lavia, Caicedo, Dewsbury-Hall, Fernandez Chukwuemeka, Palmer Sterling, Madueke Nkunku, Omorodion, Guiu Neto, Mudryk, Jackson, George Thats 28 players so at least two more to go from this list. Looking at it this way you'd have to assume Chilly and Mudryk would be the most at risk, and that George will likely go on loan. This mean we will likely be moving on F O R T Y players from the squad before the end of the transfer window. Insane, right?
