And only reason he moved on was because he personally wanted to go back to Spain, right? It's not like he wasn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 2 August 2021 Share Posted 2 August 2021 Iborra raised the attractiveness of the team by a good 20%. I think Silva was DOA after the fax machine broke. Iborra wasn't given much of a chance and Slimani was a great peg for a round hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that they were every bit as shit as we were without Barnes. Conversely though, I'm not convinced he is a good fit for Man City. Their game is predicated on quick passing and incisive movement in the opponent's final third. I think Grealish will slow everything down too much. Just my humble opinion.

Agree...I Dont believe Any of our various recruitment-management groups, have been or done anything exceptional... When counting the numbers of success / mishits.. Though some Good Youth investments, and plucked from academy promotions, who stepped up earlier than expected, saved somewhat our bacon... They Stepper in, we stepped up...

That's worded as though Iborra was the one we signed 14 seconds too late, when it was Silva. And for the revisionists above - Iborra took too long to do everything. An asset in terms of the content of Suzy's daydreams, but not great for anyone watching him get dispossessed for the umpteenth time. Dud. If he looked like Slimani you'd all be saying it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been a massive fan of Hart but he’d be a huge upgrade on our current goalkeepers so would take him. Barkas and Bain are two truly awful goalkeepers, the two worst I’ve seen in my lifetime and that’s saying something as we’ve had some shockers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While performance-wise he was a dud, we at least got our money back for Musa. Think calling Iborra a dud is a tad harsh too, he was a decent player for us and we also got back most of his transfer fee. Let’s not talk about Slimani, Ghezzal, Silva or Perez best part of £100m on that lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lots of potential but I dont think he could ever get to level he could have got to. Last three or four seasons he cant say have been that special. I'm always amazed that Downing got 35 England caps. I should have at least 5 as a sub if he got that many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Harry Kane’s agent and sole representative … Charlie Kane. Charlie is said to have been heavily involved in negotiating his brother’s foolish six-year deal, upon which he formed “CK66 Player Management” to handle all of his affairs. https://ck66.co.uk/ In the 3 years since, CK66’s client list has expanded to … one. Can you imagine how easily Levy shredded this rube in negotiating that contract, or how little he figures he has to fear from him advising Kane on his holdout?

I see this get mentioned a lot, but every club has them, and a transfer can never always be predicted how it’s going to work out. Remember Alex Ferguson the greatest ever signed Veron for 30 odd million 20 years ago, Bebe, Kleberson, Djemba Djemba, Taibi and Wilfred Zaha - I’m sure there were others too. Overall though, we do great business! And have many more wow moments than crap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
