Toonpack 12087 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We need some more smaller players to demonstrate to the 6 footers that we're not playing rugby and that we get nowt for a conversion or drop goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew we were short at the begining of the window and although Shelvey has played very little this season. selling him certainly doesn't help matters. And I don't buy the theory that bringing Gordon in allows us to move Joelinton back more centrally. We've had Maxi pretty much fit since before the world cup so we already had that option (Isak further increased the options too). I'm certainly not going to whine on like an Arsenal fan as we're in a fantastic position (hopefully even better after tonight) but I think this would be the first failure of the new regime if we don't bring anyone else in. It might be that we carry luck with injuries and form and Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff and Willock can carry us through the rest of the season. But even if that happens I think we will have been shown a little wanting this month in our recruitment. Expand Gordon is a very different prospect than ASM on the flanks. Gordon is a left sided Almiron and that would allow us to play Joelinton back in midfield as Gordon would be doing a lot of pressing on that flank. A level of pressing that ASM can't match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1431 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It's all very FM at the minute, knowing that you have an unspent budget on the last day in January and just go out and buy a couple of players in case they're any good or if you actually need them. Itll be difficult to find Bruno mk2 but hopefully there'll be a few young hopefuls out there we can pick up to act as understudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, once we get past the final (touch wood), it’s only 15 games across 3 months or so. I still maintain there’s enough rotation options in the attack/midfield to get through that. I’d say the biggest concern is an injury to Schar or Trippier Expand Well we seem to think we have addressed the concern of an injury to Tripps with Ashby no? For me the middfield has started to look a little jaded in recent weeks and we now have no other options to bring in anyone who's not already playing. That's got to be a bit of a concern. If Bruno is out for any length of time we are massively fucked. But then again, to bring in the level of player who can cover for Bruno was never goung to be likely this window.

The issue they have is that’s less likely going forward, which has started telling with the struggles to move on the likes of Bakayoko, Lukaku, Ziyech, etc. Expand Was just having a look at their business in the last 7 seasons. They've made significant losses in 5/7 seasons from 2017-2023. 19/20 they sold Hazard for £100m, and 2021/22 they sold a few players to offset £99m of the £99.4m they spent on Lukaku. They've consistently made significant losses on their transfers as well. I get that a player's value isn't simply measured in terms of fees paid vs fees recouped, but Holy Shit; £15m on Barkley, barely played released on a free. (-£15m) £30m on Rudiger, mainstay of the team, free transferred. (-£30m) £33m on Drinkwater, barely played, free transfer 5 years later. (-£33m) £34m on Batshuayi, barely played and only recouped £8m from loan and transfer fees. (-£26m) £35m on Bakayoko, £11m from loan and transfer fees. (-£24m) £46m on Timo Werner, sold for £17.5m 2 seasons later. (-£28.5m) £100m Romelu Lukaku in 2021/22 loan fee of c£7m the following season. (-£93m) And that's ignoring the wages they've dished out to these players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
