Polarboy 2311 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 From what I was reading we're supposedly going to present a deal for Torres to Barca, but Torres doesn't want to leave Spain. Flick started him at the weekend, so he's obviously seen enough for him to want to fight for a place, or at least substantial playing time.

Holden McGroin 6227 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Oliver Skipp off to Leicester for £25m. Yes, TWENTY-FIVE million for the shittest midfielder in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he leave Man City as he was homesick though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did seem to be a short spell at Citeh, and he did quite well for them, so homesickness tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6816 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Mental that Poch managed to sort out a completely unmanageable Chelsea squad into a competitive starting XI after a full season of trying, only for their owner to undo all that good work in the space of one Summer, bin the manager off and sign 10 new players to fuck up the club all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42591 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Trippier and Targett are turning out for the U21s tonight apparently. Wonder if this is just match fitness for both, or if Trippier is paying the price for flaunting his wares with Saudi clubs in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9577 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I very much doubt that it’s a punishment because it would cause a major disruption treating Trippier this way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think this a punishment too either, more likely Howe spoke with Trippier about the demotion to tie Bruno to the club. Trippier doesn’t need the armband to be a leader as he has shown in the past 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaser 1174 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 How much is Branthwaite being touted for? He seems to be a highly regarded young defender so I'm surprised we havent considered going for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42591 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 On the day that it breaks that Bruno is new club captain, Trippier is turning out for the U21s, two days after he got zero minutes in a backs to the wall season opener. And you think this all just looks normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16505 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 He’s in there to get minutes in his legs if you ask me. If he was about to be sold he would hardly turning out for the U21s… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also think the kid looks like he'll come to Newcastle and not adapt and become a Luque 2.0 Let's see. The thing is this. Ferran was one of the most interesting players to watch when he was under 20 and played for Valencia. Let's say he was very similar to what Anthony Gordon was for us last year but on the right wing. The fact is that the kid, in order to renew, had to ask for some impossible things (to be the captain and to be the highest paid player among others). So he didn't renew and went to Manchester City for free. Express request from Pep Guardiola. At Manchester, the truth is that he stopped shining... But he started to score goals. And goals. He had a lot of ease in scoring them. And I think Pep even put him as number 9 in some games when Gabriel Jesus was injured. Then he went to Barcelona. At Barcelona he has never played as well as expected. Today the press reported that Manchester City have told Barcelona that if they don't pay the remainder of their transfer fee, they will sue them in court. I think that for a price of 30-35M he could be an interesting option. PS: With the Spanish national team he was always a starter when Luis Enrique was there (Ferran was Luis Enrique's son-in-law). And since Luis Enrique left he has not even been called up again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be to get him match fit and nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
