    Xavi Simons

    Yeah GB is confused, Simmons is a hybrid passer/dribbler but more if a passer if anything. It's the reason I'd say at the very limits of their potential he's a level above what MGW, Eze, Paqueta, Maddison and Kuku can achieve.

    Xavi Simons

    Personally think he's the most talented of the 4, also the youngest. The scope for his development is massive. He was ahead of all 4 until the injury he had, from which he's never really hit the levels he was expected to. He's regressed to a more similar level of the guys you quoted. At worst...

    Clubs don't get the players they want because they don't offer enough money to a deal happen. Whether that's to the player or the club...

    Pape Matar Sarr

    I think he's our best midfielder, not by a long stretch or anything but his subtle combination of every attribute and to an extremely good level takes him above the rest for me. If he'd had decent coaching up to this point he'd be a star already. I've never understood those who couldn't see...

    Transfer thread

    He's physically finished, he wouldn't cope in the mid block high press variation we are playing this season. Once a fantastic player, but father time has gotten to him.

    Brennan Johnson

    It's mostly positive. There are only a few like myself who do not rate him and are vocal about it. 😅

    Nico Paz

    The thing is we don't know the specifics unless it's explicitly stated the reason why we might have missed out on a particular transfer. Some will be wages, some ambition, sometimes winning possibilities, sometimes maybe even location. I was answering the question as it was stated, wages weren't...

    Again maybe read up what I was replying to. The initial question was "what world class players have we missed out on?" The names I posted were questioned, Hazard was one of those. It's really not that difficult. 😅

    Nico Paz

    I don't know if you missed it but what I replied to was someone saying who were good players we missed out on thus my reply. It wasn't what players have we missed out on period, but instead specifically the good ones. I'm not fussed about you disliking my post I just wondered what about it you...

    In the case of Hazard the player himself. The rest you could argue are speculation if you want to believe that we never went in for Mane and Gini for example. Instead we just have poor player ID and instead wanted and desired Sissoko and N’jie instead. 🤷‍♂️ I forgot to mention Suarez and...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Aye the game against City did demonstrate a variety of defensive setups. Mid block, some low block and of course the man to man high press. It shows Frank’s willingness for flexibility and how adaptable he is. This is exactly what I wanted from the previous regime, some awareness of our and the...

    @SpurMeUp Why did you disagree? These are all players we have certified information regarding how close we were to signing them. Hazard even said in an interview he spoke directly with Harry and if we had finished in the CL that year he would have joined us instead.

    Claudio Bravo, Phillips, Fernan Torres, Nolito, Angelino, Douglas Luiz etc. there are actually a whole bunch more, mostly names you won’t know or remember but yes City have tended to buy a lot of players and sift through until they get to the good ones.

    Off the top of my head, Cavani, Hazard, Mane, Winiijdum (for a period), some would say Ollise but I'm not sure how close we got to actually ever getting him.

    Ederson was a terrible keeper for the basics like saving shots. Excellent with his feet but otherwise a big standard if not maybe even below that keeper.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It's not whether he's a superstar the question is he better than we already have? I don't know the answer but the club seemed to deem him to be so and of interest. Why now are you finishing his quality? Is it because we failed in signing him?

    Eberechi Eze

    Yes I saw that. It does make the whole process all the more illuminating. Tbh even the whole playing for Palace first was iffy when you see how he's gone straight to Arsenal no delay. Probably the only way we could have gotten him is to offer over and above what Palace wanted quickly and a high...

    Eberechi Eze

    They weren't bothered about signing him until the Havetz injury, he was until then just a potential option for them.

    João Palhinha

    I found myself constantly clapping his work. It's very understated but his understanding of passing lanes is something you cannot coach, he's a fantastic reader of the play and know how to get his body in the way constantly. I honestly think he's been the difference makwe for sonin terms of...

    A solid professional and importantly tactical performance. I'm really liking what i'm seeing from Frank so far. We look solid, look fudging organised. We know what we are trying to do. There's a combination of low and mid block along with a high press. All done at the appropriate times. Its...
