Fox42 Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 What is it with us and wingers? We can sign quality all over the park. Just that one area of late has been our sore point. Hope we can put an end to that later on in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 (edited) See a few posters saying we could have sorted a deal if we wanted to. As many have said, the Mendes and more generally Portuguese connection for Wolves meant if they wanted him, they were more likely to acquire him. Frustrating but don't blame the club as they did everything they could to get him the previous summer but Barca just didn't want to sell. Also, it looks like we need to sell before we can make any more purchases based on what Tanner and others have said.

That was a bad mistake by Rodgers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everfox Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 If we were genuinely interested in him, he wouldn't be joining Wolves. Which means we must have a superior player lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 1 hour ago, The People's Hero said: Calling £35mn as a 'good deal' when you've not seen him in the PL yet is a big call; but fair enough. You don't want to buy some furniture do you? I value it at £8mn; but you can take it on loan for £1mn; option to buy of £4mn after the 12 months? Weren't we prepared to pay £40m obligation to buy last season. The lad was deemed good enough for Barcelona to spend €30m on him and one of the reasons he hasn't cut it there is because of the formation they play. Makes you wonder in a back three is the stock formation when we're letting what could be a top quality loan slip through our fingers. Like the highly rated Under last season a loan with an option to buy looks a great deal for a player we aggressively chased last season. It gives us more questions than answers why we didn't pursue this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban fox Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 (edited) Was convinced Trincao was going to be the long awaited final piece of the jigsaw to solve our problem position on the right. Either we have changed our mind on him and shifted our sights elsewhere, Mendes is pulling the strings on this one, or the player himself didn’t fancy it for some reason. just seems a little odd that after supposedly tracking him for some time, and even, if reports are to be believed putting in a big offer for him last summer, he has ended up at wolves. Hopefully Berardi incoming after the euros, or Pierra. Edited 4 July 2021 by urban fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffschlupp Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 Lots of good options available and 8+ weeks of the window left. This is the most value-for-money market in a long, long time, and there is no point City going for someone they aren't quite so sure about anymore. By watching him for another year they may have seen things they're not so keen on, or found someone better at a similar price point. It's as simple as that - we will recruit at RW before the end of the window 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 Getting a quality RW is going to be really tough now, will be competing with Dortmund for the best of the young wingers as they look to replace Sancho, if we are being ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us to go back and attempt to bring him in meant, we must have had some encouragement in some parts. He seems to want to stay in a comfort zone, where familiarity around him is a must, probably speaks more to his mentality that his skills on the pitch.

KFS Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 Lots of Barca fans saying he’s dreadfully low on confidence. He doesn’t look too physical but his dribbling and delivery look good. It could have been another Cengiz Under. Just hope we have something lined up. A left footed RW has to be a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analysethis Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 I think the lack of wingers is more about a formation shift to start the season with 3 CBs and not 433. I'm more concerned how Barnes will even get in the team with this 352/532 formation. I still think we will add a winger and a centre half but maybe Francisco Trincao/Barcelona wanted more of a guarantee of games? On a personal level and from the limited times I have seen him over the months on Youtube, I cant see him looking any better than Under personally. I`d also be worried that a club like Barca are prepared to make a loss on a youngster when they are so cash strapped. If he was that good you would imagine they need younger players to go with these free transfers they seem to be getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 4 July 2021 Share Posted 4 July 2021 Would he have picked us over Wolves? I think you have to see this from the player’s point of view. This is a loan and not, necessarily, a permanent move. He’d have to agree terms as well. It’s also try before you buy for him. As a loan option he’s going to a team with a Portuguese manager and, literally, half the squad is Portuguese. For a club in a new country it’s going to give him ever chance of settling quickly into a new league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
