Diva Cupcake posted:If they're spending £70m on 1 player, might as well re-approach Southampton about VVD. Generating goals isn't really the problem. It absolutely was the problem, we were incredibly ineffective against teams who just set up in two banks of four and played for the counter. We just didn't have a player who could consistently create something from nothing and so everybody had to get involved further and further up the pitch, the tension got higher and higher, the defense got more and more exposed and conceding always felt inevitable last year. We obviously missed Sane bigly when he was out but we also missed Henderson who would at least look for some sort of ball over or behind the defense. I don't know anything about this new guy, but if he can keep Can on the bench then it'll be a definite improvement. I can't remember who said it here but Can looks a lot better against teams who try to play through midfield because he is good at closing down and tackling. When teams play over the top of him, he can't turn and he's got no pace. Furthermore, when teams are attacking us he can just hit it long to somebody on a break, but when they sit back and kick it long he gets a lot of time on the ball where he'll either pass sideways, try one dribble too many or just give the ball away.

trem_two posted:I assumed they were just going to sell him on for more money, but apparently the buyback clause has a provision that he can't be sold until next summer, and that Everton have the ability to buy him before anyone else. That is a weird buyback. I wonder if they can loan him....  RIP

U23s wonderkid Dan James has signed for the mighty Shrewsbury on a season long loan. He's tiny but twice the player Modou Barrow pretended to be (Mo Barrow was also puny).

tarbrush posted:Apparently Liverpool are going to bid £70m for Naby Keita. Which, well, it's not my money, and he's supposedly really good, but is a lot of money. I have no idea who this is so I'm going to assume he's the greatest player to ever set foot on a football pitch and therefore Liverpool will win the league

Is Nabi Keita worth 100M pounds? Maybe, maybe not. What's unbelievable is that Chelsea was able to poach N'Golo Kante for 30M GBP last summer. What an awful loving deal for Leicester. They could have sold him in this frenzy for 2 or 3 times that.

Not if he had played like the rest of the Leicester team this year (but obviously a great buy for the racist boys of the Chels).

Still made 6x what was paid for him 12 months previous.
