Oh come on
.Ismaila Sarr
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
.still with the idea that those of us who see the realism somehow hate the club... (not that I want the guy anyway - another bog standard ordinary player who has hardly set the PL alight)

Good. He’s shite. It’s annoying how Liverpool wanted him - got priced out - then went for Jota instead. Same with Lemar who would have flopped. They’ve had some luck.
Sorry, are you implying we're in for him or is this all sarcasm?
Same with failing to get brandt so they got Salah instead.
This is his 4th season at Watford for a reason
Sure he would, no doubt on LvG' advice too?
I don't relish the idea of being rejected in favour of Leeds, but at least it's a player so painfully average that we're better off without him. Seriously, any one of the players we're currently being linked with would be better than Sarr. I'd sign Guido Rodríguez for £100m before I sign Sarr.
For real, you are using what essential is a mouthpiece for that club as your source
That's as believable as reading Marca reporting on Barcelona and taking it as truth.Yes. I think when we signed Jota that was the end of it, but we looked at him for a while before that.
It's an independent publication owned by Reach - the parent company of some of the biggest media brands in the world. You may not like or even believe some of what those brands say, but that doesn't make it any less of a factFor real, you are using what essential is a mouthpiece for that club as your source
Err sorry but yes it bloody well does, as it's not ran by Reach just like the Daily Mirror who owns the Irish website known as Dublin news live is not ran by English people, but by locals just like that rag you used, or another of Reach's rags is the Liverpool echo which is ran by people from that cesspool city and not people in London where Reach is based, so yes I would not take the word of a local rag who knows it will lose customers if it doesn't post feel good stories for them.

If we were ever in for him, which I hope we aren't
He loves London over the rains of Manchester?
Please no
Just pile on the shit show.
He has the raw materials. Maybe a repurposed rb or rwb? Our attacks down the right would be devastating.
I'm surprised so many are against him. He is all the technical attributes to be a very good player. I expect a coach like Ten Hag to get the most out of/improve players of this ilk.
We have zero interest it's just the usual BS speculation that people take as the truth.
Probably a Rashford replacement option.
If we sign a winger he really should be left footed. Sarr isnt.
At the very least he should be highly talented. Which Sarr also isn't.
What a mess.
3 months of summer and we’re linked with Sarr and Morata….imagine how incompetent you have to be to get into this position.

Nothing guarantees they'd have flopped, all it could take is the right club and coaching setup
The player does play a bit of a part. You are correct though - we haven’t signed bad players.

You're right too that the players are also important. All I do is look at Lemar and Bernardo, both were about the same level at Monaco, one could say Lemar was slightly better. After that they join very different teams and managers, the development of their football is a consequence of that.
Or a very robust scouting system. There transfer activity has been pretty spectacular if you ask me. A couple of failures but mostly brought players that have improved them or obvious future quality.
It's yet another surface level link to an obvious player. I doubt its even true, but the fact I could imagine it being real is ultimately rather depressing.
The fact Fletcher could have legitimately been watching 3 Watford attackers we might buy to improve us is more depressing - although I do rate Joao Pedro.
Yes, but he seems to be less highly regarded than he was a couple of seasons ago, when it looked credible that he might explode into a major player. That theory hasn't really been strengthened in the last couple of seasons, all in all. Could turn out good of course, but all things considered it's not a rumour I get excited about.
It's owned by Reach, who you clearly know nothing about. as I say, you can keep disputing facts but that doesn't stop them being facts
How is that depressing? Andy Robertson was at a relegated club before Liverpool signed him.
Because they were relegated and two of them should be nowhere near Manchester United yet would still get games here due to how shite our current attacking options are. Next question?
Lee sharpe came from Torquay, ole from molde, Keane from relegated forest. Club doesn’t matter, it’s about the players ability to progress.
That being said I think sarr is rubbish
Well yes - 2 of them are very mediocre. That’s my point. Watford have 2 very mediocre attackers we may potentially have use for.
They wouldn’t be my choice, but that’s because of the players not the club or the division
Right. Which is my point. I like Joao Pedro -I don’t care that he plays for Watford. The other two are players we could conceivably sign and would get games here - but are fairly shite.
I think people picked you up wrong and thought you were being “snobbish” about the clubs we buy from. But I agree on the players, they don’t belong here if we want to improve
If that helps you sleep at night I guess
Off to Marseille, deserved to make a step up from Watford and show what he can do.
