Think you misunderstood the tweet mate
But I doubt Neville would be allowed to break any news like that
Don't think anyone thinks hes shite necessarily. Personally just think we're better off sticking with what we have unless there's a top class option available.
Edit: simonhch apart
He was pretty bad for Barca from what I know, he only played 3/4 games and was the CB in the only match they lost.
I doubt if he was very impressive Barca would be selling him this soon
Funny go back a season and I bet lots of people liking us linked with Maguire would say dont want, he has got relegated with Hull and saying sign Mina up, Barcelona are linked he must be good.
Personally dont think either solve our weaknesses totally at the back (obviously wrongly judging Mina from seeing very little of him in international football at a major tournament).....but my hunch would be either would still improve us and probably be a better centre back singing than the one we made last year which was poor in my opinion. Mina and Maguire look like they both have the ability, mental attitude and physicality to be better than the mainly average defenders we have at the club at the moment.
Vast majority of us dont know enough of Mina to judge, but considering he played well at the world cup I find the general disdain for signing him a bit strange
Well I for one am hyped for our third choice CB who Barca dont seem fussed on keeping!
PL is so loaded these days! Pretty much every team in the league can afford a £30m player.
The club have basically said they don't know where he is so he might not even have communicated with them from what we last heard from official channels.
I'm happy with the Fred signing and feel he'll improve us but Mina? Meh. Not going to make us better or worse. Just an extra defender who may not get injured I guess. Would prefer to just push harder of Alderweireld or Maguire or shift focus entirely to a right winger or left back.
Id say it was a combo of balance the books a bit as they have a decent squad now but also I don't think those two got on at Real.
Yeah they look really strong and will certainly be in the mix for champions league with Ronaldo now.
Agents will be agents, and journalists will be journalists. Both like to stir shet up. Martial just overstayed for the birth of his son, he claims there were medical complications to his wife, that’s all we really know.
Bu I am sure if the right offer comes along we would take it, specially if he isn’t going to an EPL competitor.
Hes only at Barca barely 8 months (minus a football season finished plus a world cup) and they are ready to offload says alot.
That would be the logical thing to do, right at the start of this window I had a LB & RW as an absolute must, if we did that then a CM and a RB, I even thought a backup striker would have been deemed as more important this window than a CB!
Agree. Moving target to another position is better than getting a CB that will end on the bench. At least Maguire and Tobby would start easily for us, while this Mina kid won't even get past Smalling. We don't need to repeat Lindelof mistake of signing someone that's not going to be a starter.
My worry is why are Barca willingly allowing him to go after him only joining in January. They’ve already replaced him with Lenglet too
So from what I understand he’s poor with his feet and playing out of the back even if he’s very good defensively how does that solve any of our problems?
It doesn’t, thus mass confusion.
Exactly this. Not a good sign, is it.
They overfilled their quota of foreign players. That is why they have to let one go. I don't know how good he is but they don't have a choice in the matter.
Question: Can a player from English club leave for other club (non English league) after August 9th?
It's just too stupid even by our standards, so I'm going assume it's rubbish until I see it.
Jose has bought two cb's, he's had his fill in that position for a bit surely, & tbf both have shown promise. so just stick with them for now, we have adequate backup for whenever we need it.
If the Mina equivalent was available at RW then I'd be all for it, because we are crying out for a player there to at least give us hope.
Exactly. Why go for another prospect in defence when we are desperate for literally anything, a body, on the right wing?
Answer: Yes
Maybe he avoids injury?
Yes.
He’s not really poor with his feet just nothing special.
West Ham have already spent over 90 million in the window. It's insane how much the lower teams are spending compared to the richest club in the world.
Exactly. We need someone who is special - someone who can lead by example. Mina would be a significant mistake.
No, we will not sell Pogba to Barcelona after August 9th.
The non-eu rule will definitely be playing a part.
Yes
But we can always sell Jones/darmian/rojo
Yes mate.
Surely they have other players they can get rid of? Why him in particular? That’s more worrying actually
