Amrabat was very good at the WC but you’ve always got to be wary of signing players off the back of good tournaments. Seem to remember him and Fiorentina being very powerless to stop us in the summer…

 

Also, :lol: at Forest. They held it in for as long as they could only to make the 7 signings on deadline day

Forest have signed a player from Olympiakos who is owned by their owner. For an undisclosed fee. But because they're no threat to the Top 6 or balance of power fuck all is said.

Not sure I agree with that. He went on loan to Norwich last season so obviously willing. And I suspect that he failed his medical at Luton.

Oh forgot about Norwich. Apparently it wasn't a medical issue it was a player issue. According to the Luton gaffer

I was really impressed with Amrabat at the World Cup. But Morocco played in a very well drilled, defensive style where despite his being nominally a defensive midfielder, he seemed to have had licence to go chasing the ball breaking up play. He did that very well but he didn’t create a lot and scores about a goal a season, if he’s lucky. I’m not sure how that would translate into a side like Man Utd, especially when they’re at home with how they’re expected to play etc. I must admit I haven’t seen loads of him at Fiorentina like

Aye, they were very much better than the sum of their parts which is the last thing you can say about Man United. Mind, I also just want him to fail because fuck Man United so I am biased

Maddison looking pretty impressive for Spurs on MOTD

Still early days, obvs, but going for Barnes instead of Maddison already kind of feels like a sliding doors moment.

 

Three of of our £30m+ signings can’t get into a team that’s lost three on the bounce

Barnes needs his opportunity. He's had brief moments but he will get his chance.

We have had one of the hardest set of fixtures in the prem to start with. Barnes will get his run.

I agree. Barnes is a good player and will get his chance.

 

But Maddison is one we were linked with for a long time so you can’t help wonder what might have been when he has started so brilliantly for his new club while our signings have yet to make an impact. Ditto Diaby
