Summer transfer window.

[Eggs]

Are there any ex players who know the club and get the fans who we could snare?

….Doucoure.

Links to Gabriel Jesus from Ropey sources this morning.

Nailed on I’m told, although I think getting him would be a miracle by our standards.
Call me a doubting Thomas but I prefer Christian Pulic anyway.

….but no good for the average age stats.

Moyes is feckless for these stats. Jesus vs Keane, which older player would you rather the team carry?

 

[Mr Happy]

One of which we have already but played a grand total of what? 1 and a half games at CM? Rohl was not a CM in Moyes’ squad. He was a square peg at right wing and right back, not a CM. It absolutely counts as replacing.

Imagine he’s given the chance to play and develop in his natural role, wild idea

Bore off pal. You have a comeback for everything. And mostly talk drivel.

….more interested in good footballers than their age. Keane is a decent back-up for Branthwaite, just a shame he’s been used so much but that’s a reflection of Branthwaite’s fragility. Lots of talk about Sunderland being an examplar and 33yo Xhaka seen as one of the buys of the season.

Has anybody posted a screenshot of Jesus' Transfermarkt injury record page yet? Would make for grim reading

Yep, which is why it would very much need to make financial sense

Would you like to tell me where the drivel was regarding Rohl’s most played position under Moyes? I only recall one full game at CM (Villa)? Genuinely??

And that was purely because Gana was injured, he didn’t play for weeks after Gana returned (and stunk the gaff out)

Reckon it would probably be similar to Louis Saha's injury record when we signed him, maybe a bit worse. It would definitely need to be a similar deal which was a low fee and some form of pay as you play

Using Keane is Moyes' choice, he turned down a central defender recently, and chooses to use another one as a right back. Anyway, it's not a Keane thing, per se, the general point is that the composition of the squad is on Moyes and the tactics employed are too - it's great having a Reid and a Gray in one's team if it's blended with hardworking and skilful youngsters with the right tactics and ethos, but Moyes is not doing anything like that mate, to state it mildly.

….but no good for the average age stats.

I think Graham, Barry, Beto and Jesus would be a good spread of CF ages and profiles.

Need two of em on the pitch.

None of those fellas can lead the line solo beyond titanium touch Beto.

Nailed it mate.

Hands up you win Guvnor.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

The main thing here is to get through this window without signing Ross Barkley.

Keane is a decent back-up for Branthwaite

Surely not
