I can tell you from my overwhelming experience managing Lille in FM that he is very good in the air but slow as ****.

Well James Pearce has rubbished the Botman links. That's the last time I trust caughtoffside! I had so many Botman and Robbo jokes lined up too.

Dortmund are blaming Sancho's poor form to his failed move to United. Hopefully his stock will be cheaper in the summer.

Not a good look though is it.

We have two kid wingers we have the option of trying. I think his time has been and gone. If he has a poor season and it goes onto the next he will be stuck there for a while I think.

I have no idea what you would pay for Sancho if his form doesn't improve. Dortmund will want last seasons money because they think his form is temporary and will come back and United or whoever else would be taking a massive risk that it never returns fully. Hes clearly a country mile better than anything else we have on the right but for the money Dortmund want he has to be world class.

We've completed the signing of Amad Diallo from Atalanta. Not quite sure how much we'll see him for the first team or whether he'll start off in the U23's like Pellistri.

I'd happily take Ake at Liverpool

Atalanta were determined to arrange a loan back but MU refused, insisting on taking the kid now. OGS must be planning to use him at least a bit this season.

Yeah it was a weird request, he has barely played for them because they don't use wingers so not sure why they wanted to keep him really. I think even if the plan is he only plays U23 + maybe Europa we'd still want him here settling rather than playing youth football there.

Would he be eligible for the cup game with Watford?

I'm not sure tbh, I'd be surprised if we put him in that one. More likely we see Pellistri in some shape for that game.

West Ham have sold their only striker.. assuming they have a replacement or two lined up

Antonio is their striker but yeah I'm sure they will be buying someone new, or getting Costa

He’s played everywhere and been injured this season

would be interesting to see Costa again..

Still no sign of a Liverpool CB? I know they're very methodical now with their transfers but I thought they would have had one or two lined up right away.

Drukk · 8 Jan 2021 at 11:18

Considering Arsenal have just borrowed 120m I'm predicting a very quiet January transfer window.

Dont think they will bother. Will just soldier on and push through with what we have.

Said the same to a Liverpool supporting mate, could cost you the league. Fabinho has done okay at CB but they always look much better with him in midfield.
