Confirmed Signing Yerry Mina

[FCBarça]

I can’t see Utd willing to accept a buy-back clause though.

Buyback clauses for Barcelona players typically involve either cantera players or those they value but can't give minutes to for further development. In Mina's case, I couldn't see a buyback being included unless it was a low fee

I agree Holgate will be good, but we do need someone to partner him (be it Keane maybe) AND another CB. In effect this new CB coming in will replace Williams in the short term and ultimately Jags in the long/med term.

Well we need one soon because Mori is gone, Pennington is gone, and it looks like Williams is about to be gone

So is this off then? Not surprising but disappointing.

The club need to learn when they are being led along as we spend way too much time negotiating for players who clearly dont want to come.

They could use your advice mate - perhaps give Brands a call and let him know? Think he'll appreciate the feedback.

Same people were saying that about "Walsh knowing best"

Yes that's what I was saying

I don’t think Keane and Holgate would work as a partnership as both are suspect in the air.

It makes sense to complement Holgate’s pace with a big nasty grock who will take no prisoners.

Still, this...

In my opinion, the prolonged inevitable outcome of this is not reflecting well on Brands.

Been itching to close this thread for some time...

Reminds me a bit of Koulibaly and the naivety we shown there eventually costing us - at least it did according to Moshiri.

I'd have moved on from Mina a long time ago.

How does anyone know we haven’t?

Excellent point

Keane has the movement of a deep sea diver and the positional awareness of a six year old.

Whoever ended up playing alongside Keane, would end up spending most of the game trying to cover for him, which in turn leaves holes all over the place - think of Martina at left back last season and then move those holes into the middle of the defence !

Keane shouldn`t be anywhere near the first team.

Quite simply it has got to be, two new centre halves ( can`t see it being Mina now ) and Holgate.

Can't believe you left Walsh twisting in the wind. Speak up next time. You're wasted on this forum.
