Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

[MikeH72]

It epitomised what went wrong with this club.

£40M to stand still rather than strengthen at a time of existential threat as a PL club.

Incredible.

Some day a book will be written about the Moshiri years and it'll be stranger than fiction.

The creators of Mike Bassett would laugh that script off as unrealistic.

 

[MACCA75]

I can't believe Newcastle spent more wisely than we did.

It was a low bar to be fair.

5 players chosen by at least 4 different people. Two flaky out of form number 10’s, an out of favour winger, and two full backs that had never played anything close to Prem level.

In a crowded field, probably our most shambolic window ever.

It was the worst window we’ve had in Moshiri’s tenure, worse than the 2017 car crash. At least that summer we actually tried to strengthen in the positions we needed to. This January window just made absolutely no sense, I want to know why El Ghazi and Dele Alli were purchased.

El Ghazi's agent is Joorabchain, that's the only reason he signed.

Supposedly Joorabchian had initially offered him Coutinho but Benitez didn't want him. Coutinho went to Villa and El Ghazi came instead.

El Ghazi's agent is Gestifute, which is Jorge Mendes's agency, who are linked to Wolves and worked closely with our new DOF.
Coutinho is signed to Joorabchian's agency, Sports Invest.

Which Dutch winger single handedly prevented Everton from losing their top flight status for the first time in 70 years by scoring 4 hat tricks in their last 4 games of the 21/22 season?

Is it Andy van Der meyde?

 

[Davideeyore]

I keep forgetting this guy exists.

It's sad in a way. I don't have any ill feeling to El Ghazi but it was a screwed up deal.

All we can hope for is that with the arrival of Kevin Thelwell and also Lampard, that they will kick out the
dodgy dealing that goes on at the club when it comes to transfers.

 

[JammyP]

Can he kick a ball, into a nice big net?

 

[nsno-chris]

Typical poor recruitment with no thought. Brought in because of the useless owner and his connections and that fat kopite wasting millions on fullbacks that aren’t ready.

He was a pawn in bigger game, El Fat Kopite Rat decided to wage a war, and El Ghazi somehow became part of money moving exercise

What makes this transfer worse is the fact the fan base thought it was odd at the time it happened. So 2 months later without barely any game time has justified those feelings when the deal was done.

So similar to the Josh King farce.
We never, ever learn do we?

 

[sarath]

Heard a rumour it was for FFP so Villa could afford Digne's wages

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He might actually get some minutes here and there now that Townsend is injured

was thinking the same, lampard has no interest in giving dobbin any minutes it seems.

 

[Mark barnett]

Another insane signing just wasting money on a player who has barely toched a ball since he's been here.
We love rejects who seem to have attitude problems or mental frailties

He is only here for a few months and will then go back to Villa.
With the injury to Townsend we may be very glad to have him.
