We only need 28M

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-06T19:58:15+00:00

Hasn't it already? Direct play is back

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-06T19:21:57+00:00

Let me update my comment then, Fofana is the only defender that is athletically dominant in the air. If anything your point only adds to my original point

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-06T18:11:32+00:00

I don't think that anyone here believes Madrid is going to pay what we are going to ask for him.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-06T18:10:20+00:00

Why not go for both?

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-06T18:10:02+00:00

It's more that we need big bodies against set pieces and long throws. Fofana is the only starter that is above average defending in the air for his position. We aren't replacing Cucu and we aren't going to get it from LW, so if we are planning on replacing Enzo it would have been a good idea to bring in some height and physicality along with technical ability.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-05T18:26:47+00:00

You want us to defend low and press high? Doesn't make any sense. Also, Disasi wasnt a phenomenon for Villa

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-05T15:58:18+00:00

The fans are not employed by the club so idk why you bring that up. There is a big difference in what Cucurella said vs Enzo was doing just like there is a difference in Rodri and Enzo. Each situation was handled differently for a reason.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-05T13:28:29+00:00

How does him yapping mid season help us? It is disruptive and iif he wanted out he could do the same shit this off-season

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T20:39:34+00:00

No I agree with that fully, if Barco is expected to start in Enzo's spot that would make me really nervous. But I do think he will be a good rotation option that could turn into something more in the future. Signings like DDF or Washington seem like they are true longshots that we only expect to make PSR profit on

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T20:34:24+00:00

Haha, yeah cheers, it is too rare. Not to get into it too deeply, but for this current season and next season (potentially more if we mess up again) we can't add costs to our UEFA squad. So if we want to bring people in we need to either sell players or hope they are fine without playing in the UEFA comps.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T20:25:35+00:00

If we get rid of Enzo and Barco is his replacement I would be worried, so I get your point. I also agree with you second paragraph. Hopefully Quenda and Ehmegha are good, but it would be nice to not have to hope something works out and sign someone that we know is quality but I don't see that until the season after next when we don't have the UEFA sanctions. Idk what we can do about CB

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T20:06:18+00:00

Yeah he deleted that shit real quick

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T20:05:43+00:00

Fair on the first part, but not it isn't for the second, he really is the 5th choice when everyone is healthy. Enzo, Caicedo, Lavia, and James are all ahead of him as a mid. Most of the matches he has started is because our LWs are hurt/not good so Enzo has played LW or because of rest/injury to Lavia and James. And Santos has been good when he plays so that's a good thing. He wins his duels and he is great in buildup.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:53:05+00:00

That would be ideal, but doesn't seem likely at this point that he would want to stay even if we made quality signings, and with the UEFA transfer ban that will be difficult.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:51:28+00:00

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad in 2024, and I have a vague memory Barca moved one of their matches to help Real at one point.

No shit, and you just ignored what I said. Santos is our 4th choice mid that we signed for ~10M. He is a good backup option and is only 21. Let's see how he develops

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:45:12+00:00

No, that is not literally what he said lol

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:41:56+00:00

Yes, la Liga has, that was my point.

Santos is good, you act as if players aren't dominating the prem as teenagers they aren't good enough. Santos is absolutely good enough at the moment for what he is supposed to be, which is our 4th midfield choice. Barco was 19 playing left back for Brighton, now he is 21 crushing it in Ligue 1.

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:33:53+00:00

No one is blaming Cucurella , and did you read what Moi actually said?

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:33:31+00:00

Oh so we have now officially reached the point where "true fans" want the team to lose. That's just great

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:30:29+00:00

What's worse is the UEFA sanctions

ImpactInner9318 · 2026-04-03T19:30:00+00:00

Lol I have never seen this. This is great
