Howay 12496 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 That’s all fair and on the surface appears to be the case. I just find it very fucking odd and coincidental that the day after (or the same day but later on) we turn our attention to another CB and basically walk away from the deal Monchi goes and does an interview with one of the major press outlets in the country of the interested party to basically discuss a supposedly impossible transfer move. I’ve really never seen that before. He then goes out of his way to highlight that it was a good bid, but it’s purely the timing that was difficult and that they’ll hold out until summer, which can be read as screaming for more money. Again it could be reading into things but it’s a bizarre move by Monchi imo if they have no intention of selling, the same as entertaining our bids for 3 weeks was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely, Monchi has been trying to sign one or two CBs to let Diego Carlos go. That's why he has never closed the door. I think everything has been delayed because Sevilla, of the last 5-6 games, has had Koundé injured in 4. That left Diego Carlos as the only real central defender in the team. They couldn't afford to part with it. Surely they have tried to sign a couple of players, but everything has been too late. If they had gotten the spare parts they considered, they would have let Diego Carlos out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) So from what I hear, we have zero interest in going for Carlos in the summer, we will move for younger targets. Our CM options are Guimeraes and Sangare both are provisionally agreed with Guimeraes the preferred (despite costing twice as much). Again take it with a grain of salt it’s second hand info, but as essembee says remember where you heard about Carlos first Also hear Howe has an absolute chub on hoping we get Guimeraes in Edited January 27, 2022 by Howay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 23642 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 my trouser hose has slowed to a slow drip in recent days. it's no longer the gushing torrent it was pre-leeds. partially because three points eased the pressure and we're not cut adrift, partially because we don't have any more games to go before the window shuts, so the rush for new faces is less urgent, partially because these deals were always going to be difficult in january. but mainly because it's a seller's market and selling clubs know we're flush and desperate. plenty of these mooted deals will be done before the window closes. which ones remain to be seen but it feels like we'll get in at least a couple more. if we don't..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do remember is that he seemed more like a center back to me playing as a left back. He was good with the ball at his feet, he didn't seem very fast, but he was very intelligent, both in attack and defense. I already say. It is not an opinion based on exhaustive monitoring, but only on a handful of matches. I think he may be more like Paul Dummett than Jamal Lewis. The same is not a very deep side that puts good crosses from the baseline (Be careful, in 16 games in Germany he has given 4 goal assists), but surely he will not make mistakes that mean that they score us a goal . One thing that I like is that the player is from the Ajax Academy, which means that he will have a very good ball output, something that Howe seems to try to implement yes or yes and something that is very important for the future of the team (Guimaraes , Botman, Diego Carlos... Are this kind of player too with the ball) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
