That's an odd one. Who are they going to play up front? Not that I rated Higuain in the league but still. They need someone.

They react like this because we have apparently signed the new Cafu in AWB. Just wait until AWB is not this world beater everybody thinks he is, they will crying out for Dalot. Like I've said in another thread, if Dalot played for Wolves last season, he might have been better than AWBWhat? He's played a handful of games for us at right back, he's 19, just moved to a new country to play for his countryman Jose who then got sacked a few months later. He's now playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world under much more pressure than he's used and he's then been played out of position at right wing because his crossing is so good. I'm a little confused to how A) He's hideously overrated, since I don't see many raving about him yet and B) How you can make that judgement already.
Does any seriously believe that adding three 20-21 year olds is going to improve us?
Obviously there are other factors such as experience and whether they're even good enough.
Anyway, I have no idea about two of the three so we'll see.
Looking like Morata.That's an odd one. Who are they going to play up front? Not that I rated Higuain in the league but still. They need someone.
Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as #InterIsComing#NotForEveryone???
Why do people automatically think that signing young British players will be the turning point for us? They could easily turn out to be the new Smalling and Jones. What was wrong with Di Maria at the time we signed him? Nobody envisaged him not settling in. Like Veron didn't hit the heights under SAF, it happens.Loving the negativity here....
.... So you don't even know them either. Why bother posting such negativity?
You should be excited, also should be happy about a new approach. It could be worse, we could be signing Di Maria again.
I thought Atletico triggered the clause on him?Looking like Morata.
not yetI thought Atletico triggered the clause on him?
Edit: Just looked into it, seems they have not.

That'd be a great price
Why just a four year deal? We'll be back in the same situation after just 3 years. Then he'll be 24 and if has developed into a top forward, will ask for 500k. What the feck are these absolute morons doing? Get him to sign a 5+1 year contract at least you wanks. If Harry Kane is happy signing a 6 year deal worth 200k a week including bonuses, why can't we get Rashford to sign one? Forget the money, at least tie him up in a long term deal

We need players in the right positions to get balance in the side, like a right winger. I don't care what nationality he is.

They're referring to Conte's style of football, I guess. Or maybe they're referring to his haircut.#NotForEveryone???
He plays absolutely nothing like McTominay. The only thing that's even close about them is that they're both British.Based on?
I obviously do not see what is so special about this guy or what Ole see's our future midfield looking like. For me he looks a slightly more exciting McTominay. If its hunger and being British etc then I'm worried.

I never said any of that and never mentioned nationality either. I just pointed out the guy made two posts, one being sarcastic and negative and the second admitting he didn't even know the players purchased.
Then I just said that he (And all fans) should be excited from the early signings because it's a clear change of direction. Of course it could fail, but after the last 6 windows it's a breath of fresh air. Certainly no need for such negativity, the exact opposite in fact.

I can understand that theory, but they really have to be going for the best talent out there. Otherwise if the ones we sign are bad we are stuck with them and are going nowhere, or have a conveyor belt of so called British talent for years and years until we get it right or give up.I think perhaps the theory is that a club-developed young British player is much less likely to leave the club for pastures fresh than a European kid, since British kids (traditionally) are reticent to leave their home country, as opposed to their european counterparts.

The first few games of the season will show us. I am excited in a way, but I just think if we do not shift a load of players out it will be the current players who will let him down not the new ones.Agreed. Fish from a smaller pond and end up with a less impressive aquarium, especially when equal or greater potential talents are available at equal or lesser amounts of money. I'm a big fan of securing talents and loaning them back to their respective home clubs for development until ready.

How come his stock has fallen this much in past 12 months?
Please take him. We should take 30 million and RUN.
Did he not have an injury problem which led to Liverpool trying to get him at a cheaper price? Maybe that's it.
