Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Borussin]

Swerve, don't rate tbh, very average stats and in/out of the team.

I'd swerve too.

He has a ton of talent, but hasn't progressed enough in the last 12 months.

I also question his character. He seems to have a few problems. He was also involved in a car accident in Marrakesh, where he was driving the car, which saw a pedestrian killed. And as posted above, suggestions of a past gambling problem!

He seems to me to be a downgraded version of some of the other targets we have been looking at, the 'cheap option' if you like

Apologies, that’s what happens when you don’t read all the posts in the thread since last night! I just saw the Jimmy Hill wasn’t on MOTD thing! I was indeed 100% wrong!

No worry brother , we are still friends

He would be the definition of a 'project' player I think? One thing I would say, is that he has not been in the most secure situation at Schalke, they have been a club who went through a lot of problems last year, the coach was sacked, the sporting director left. And now they have a new coach coming in (David Wagner), so it has all been a bit unsettled for a younger player.

He definitely isn't the sort of player who would immediately be an upgrade for a PL team who surely has strong ambitions of getting into Europe etc.

Schalke should be removed from the entire football pyramid for hiring Wagner after that unwatchable mess he served up at Huddersfield. Somehow he's outdone Martinez in failing upward.

Too much agreeing in here today.

Someone offer someone out FFS.

People reporting themselves for the Index too.

What's going on.

He'll be an improvement there.

We are in talks with Schalke04 over signing Amine Harit,but nothing will really happen with regards to talking to the player until after the African Cup of Nations

So niche, it could be true?

Don’t fall into the trap. The Blag ITK feeds on your attention...

That doesn't mean it was a good decision

Yah I am not sure what to make of the appointment to be honest! It could work though. I only saw few Huddersfield games, and to start with, they seemed to play good counter pressing football. But by the end, they where horrible. They had a really terrible squad though. But if Wagner goes back to his principles, it can work. But there is a lot of work to be done at Schalke, so it will not be an easy job. I think he is a better coach than Tedesco though. So we will see.

Amine Harit has rare talent but seems a bit of a tit.

This is my biggest problem. He came up talking about how they were going to stick to what got them up and then after a couple tough patches went full Big Sam. If he does that again it'll be curtains for his career and a real problem for Schalke.

First priority this window should be a top striker, as we’ve been waiting for one ever since we sold lukaku. Anything else after that is a bonus.
