Transfer Rumour Wilmar Barrios

[Goat]

He's the lad who got sent off in the Boca v R Plate 2nd leg wasn't he. Thought he was decent until then tbf.

Cant say ive watched much of him myself.

 

[Groucho]

If the long-standing links to Barrios are true, he must be a player Brands/Silva are particularly keen on (perhaps in preference to Gueye).

That’s what I thought

Only those two legs I've seen him. Can't remember the world cup.

380k a week.

I’m sorry how much?

 

[Neiler]

Utter garbo player sadly, lets hope its complete pony.

Just the 20 mill a year then.

 

[Eggs]

Great turn of pace, good with both feet, can pick a pass and has an eye for goal.

A yes from me.

....his goalscoring record is similar to Tony Hibbert’s.

I know some disagree, but I have always seen him as a disciplined defender who protects the back four in similar fashion to a Lee Carsley or Gareth Barry. When I say disciplined, I mean he patrols a distinct defensive area of the pitch. Perhaps that’s exactly what Silva/Brands want to fit their team model.

I'd be happy with this if he was an addition to our midfield options (it'd mean Davies being one position further from the pitch), but I think it'd be a risk getting such an unproven player to replace a very good midfielder in Gana. Unless of course we plan to buy another midfielder in the summer and just want to fleece PSG for a 29-year old as it's January, which I could understand.

 

[Tigger]

Has the ball
Loses possession
Dives in like a lunatic to win it back

Don't we still have Mo Besic for this?

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I hope we sign him and I hope he’s unstable. Like you don’t know if he’s going to hammer one in from 40 yards or split an opposition player in half. We need that

You will be waiting for some time. He maybe has a single goal in the last 5 years.

His name is Willy, Willy Barrios
He keeps the ladies, marvelous(??).
And all his fans, They're dangerous.
You can't defeat him, You're at a loss




(This went absolutely nowhere after the first line ffs)

Gueye regularly tries a shot outside the box. Never goes in though.

Still went further than our match day rendition of Grand Old Team.

I agree that Barrios is not an upgrade but if PSG are going to shell out 45 million for a 29 year old I don't think we can say no. We have a decent amount of money but not enough to turn down offers like that. Hopefully Barrios is enough of a replacement that we aren't a complete mess were Gana to leave and the extra money can be put toward improvements down the road.

Really doubt we'd get anything close to £45m for Gana. But to be honest, I'm more concerned about how we are as a club right now, we are very poor and I'm not sure selling one of our better players, literally our only capable defensive midfielder at that, is prudent in a January window - especially when the replacement does not look all that good.

Maybe this might turn out to be a Brands masterstroke if it all happens, but I worry greatly about the second half of the season if we don't replace Gana properly.
