Yes, we should only sign players without any weaknesses.funky chicken wrote:It's a shame we can't sign both Sturaro and Seri. As they both have at least one weakness that we don't need.

Works hard, always gives 100%. Isn't the most technically gifted in the world but does the job you ask him to do.
Many loved the former, but hated the latter when they essentially did similar jobs.
Only difference is that Dead Snake was brought in as an attacker and the perception remained - after his move to deeper in midfield - that he was still a goalscorer.

One of our best players until that bad knee injury (in an average team mind). Seems to be able to seriously turn it on at International level that's for sure.hawkins_hammer wrote:

We have had one mention of the chilblains and one of In-growing toenails, isn't that enough unless we have additional information to add to it.EllisWHU22 wrote:I can't see it being brought up of recent, but everyone is excited about Seri and he is a great player.
No one seems to be mentioning the chilblains

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 49 days remaining
Apologies for asking a question.
New name linked today.. Denis Suarez at Barca, formerly of Man City (guess he played under Pellegrini)
I watch a lot of La Liga and this kid is class

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 49 days remaining
Fabulously in depth and insightful article from Sky about us being in for Wilshere
Do they pay people to write this stuff?

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 49 days remaining
I think Denis Suarez would be an almost perfect Lanzini replacement however if we are going to spend £30m plus on Anderson I cannot see him being within whatever budget then remains for the 2/3 players we are still likely to need.

I would have been extremely surprised if West Ham weren't interested in buying him. I didn't have much doubt we wouldn't go in for him once it was made clear he was leaving there.

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 49 days remaining
I have a feeling Wilshere could be a Scott Parker-type signing. There were mixed views when he signed and look how that turned out.
You can analyse stats and injury records as much you like but as someone who knew football before such statwittery, this is one of those signings that just feels right to me.

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 49 days remaining
I mean Stefano Sturaro is usually deployed as a box-to-box, central, or defensive midfielder has covered as an attacking wing back or right back.rare as rockinghorse shat wrote:

Re: Summer Transfer Window 2018- 49 days remaining
Translation of link to Italian paper on previous page.
ROME - Felipe Anderson-West Ham, we are at the final stages . After having reached the agreement with the player, the Hammers seem to have reached also the one with Lazio thanks to an offer of 35 million + 4 bonus, which is very close to the 40 requested by Lotito. Today an emissary of the English club should arrive in Rome to finally close the negotiation Anderson: the Brazilian, after 5 years, is about to leave Lazio.
I just want this saga over one way or another now
