Transfer thread

I know we won't be in for him but I'm stunned no one has gone for Wharton yet, I'm sure they'd sell for a good fee. Surprised Utd or Liverpool haven't gone for him.

I think he's a bit over rated tbh Palace fans seem to think he was pretty anonymous in any game where they were not playing on the counter too. That may be putting off more dominant teams?

Ah it’s the quarterly “good player but” Dembele conversations on here! Not sure why other players don’t get the same criticism of their perceived weaknesses.

Rodri, good player but should score and assist more..
Yea Messi’s great but he doesn’t track back..

It wasn't even that conversation. He was being cited as someone who improved the quality of their passing later in their career (not at all the case), rather than anyone actually critiquing him as a player.

He's English and has a skillset unusual for English players and hence gets a touch over hyped. A bit like Wheelchair and Stones before him.
 
Side-note question...

...with all the pressures and extra fatigue on players these days, are we witnessing a situation where elite talent that is sold on DeZerbi would actually see us as a great place to compete AND not get flogged to within an inch of health this season (with wages at CL levels obviously being the main influence)? A season of less club games balanced against rotations and international matches for one season might be perfect for some who have been overplayed the last two/three seasons?

Would hope so. But we are still 3-4 more injuries away from being paper thin again. As is any club for they matter.

Dembele is the perfect example of a player that you shouldn't judge on what he didn't do but appreciate what he did do

Dembele wasn’t a great passer.
Messi doesn’t press.
Kane isn’t fast.
Arsenal players are c***ts.

There is no such thing as the perfect player. Good managers put players in positions and systems to succeed.
