Diego21 2155 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Just now, Polarboy said: I was relying on a twitter analyst for the profile of his supposed strengths. I can't say I've seen him play like yourself. I haven't seen him play too much either. Even though I'm Spanish, I barely watch the Spanish League because it's very boring to me. But the defense of Juan Miranda is what is always criticized the most. He has never been a starter in his 3 years at Betis and neither was he when he was on loan in Germany. Only in these last six months (because Betis sold Alex Moreno to Aston Villa) he kept the position. If you remember him, he is the player who played in the Euro U21 final a few weeks ago. And certainly, he had a very good tournament. I think he can be adaptable to our team, but maybe a bit expensive and he doesn't offer absolute guarantees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5918 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Occasionally I wonder if the reason Diego seems to know so much about basically everything is that he is in fact an AI. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With La Liga being dull, why does everyone want to go to Madrid? It's a bit like the SPL, only warmer. I can see they get Champs League football every year but most other top clubs are guaranteed now, with the way that CL is structured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Douglas seems to think Hall is our first choice over Tierney and Cucurella, and that he's open to a move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7620 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Sounds like Chelsea are inviting offers for him. Surprising as he seems to be full of promise! https://x.com/samwallacetel/status/1691846066654605538?s=46&t=DYmsnEqv3Z6eK81dMboqUQ (not sure why the tweet isn't embedding?)

Holden McGroin 7561 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) £30m for a player that’s played ~10 top flight games is pretty good going. And it’s pure profit for FFP when they have Chilwell and Cucu as well. Edited August 16, 2023 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49832 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If they want £30m cash that might be us fucked. We wanted to do a loan cos of FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMXXVIII 1296 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If we sign this kid, expect Targett will be sold soon after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Surely we could get at least ten million for Targett, and that would be the FFP sorted for a year and a bit over the length of Hall's contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMXXVIII 1296 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 There'd be at least half a dozen PL clubs who'd pay £10m+ for Targett. He's a solid enough left-back but I don't think Howe was ever convinced on him. At the end of his loan spell it seemed to take a while for us to complete the move permanently; I felt at the time we'd been exploring other possibilities there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest, Bournemouth, Brentford if they sell Henry or even as cover for him, Palace now that Hall isn't looking likely for them etc. There's plenty of teams that would be more than happy to have his experience in the PL and professionalism in their squad's. 10m in this market would be more than fair for a player of his profile, and it's a price that most teams in the PL can afford. He's never going to pull up any trees, but he's a 6.5/7 out of 10 consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7620 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) This is easily the deepest squad we've had in our PL history. Pope Trippier Botman Hall Livramento Joelinton Bruno Tonali Isak Gordon Barnes all good enough for any CL clubs starting XI Add in Dubravka Schar Burn Willock Longstaff Miley Anderson Almiron Wilson off the bench and I think that squad is as good as any in the league. There's only really Almiron and Schar left to upgrade after this Summer. Madness Edited August 16, 2023 by Kid Dynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Reading the comments under the Chelsea news account there's a bit of debate as to how reliable the guy is, understandably, but apparently he did have the news of how bad Nkunku's injury was early among other things. Of course he could have just got a lucky guess on the injury. But we'll see, there does seem to be some momentum behind Hall making a move.
