Confirmed Signing Anwar El Ghazi

[blueblue]

A five month loan is good business.
Strengthens the squad without major outlay.
A purchase for 15m would make no sense.
A lot of the better players you would like to sign will not be available in this window , but we need as strong a squad as possible for the second half of the season.
We don't need to talk about what Iwobi will contribute, Gordon will probably have a dip in form at some stage as young players do and there is always the risk of injury.

Not sure that’s the point fella.

I think the concern is that our somewhat strange owner is once again forcing his ‘football’ decision on to a manager who was employed to make those professional decisions. Even more strange when the said owner has a track record of making very poor ‘football’ decisions.

If the owner wants to play manager why doesn’t he just do us all a favour and appointment himself as such. No doubt he will sack himself within weeks.

I don't get why mosh would want to sign him. Makes no sense. Where is this coming from?

I didn't get to listen, but I believe it was said on the twitter spaces podcast last night. A lot of criticism towards Moshiri from what I've seen.

This Bobble fella might hear a few things with regards to general chatter around the club. But I doubt he knows who decides what at management/boardroom level tbh.

Or alternatively, he’s just a blagger rehashing stuff like a long line of wannabe itk’s.

Who decided it's Farhad Moshiri who wants him?

Exactly

So we are potentially getting a player on loan until the end of the season who most likely will come off the bench at times and people are losing their minds. This forum is mental at times

I admit signing him permanently for 15m if true is bananas.

It's not mental, there's a perfectly understandable reason for some people jumping on this: they want EVERYTHING to appear like it's wrong and that the decisions made indicate a meltdown at the club...because they want the manager out.

Devious, not mental.

Do we know if is Moshiri?

From what I gather Rafael has been pushing for McNeil.

What, aside from the interest in the summer and recent news stories about our interest, gives you that impression?

 

[witchdoc187]

My mate told me it wasn't mosh who wants him. There you go.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Isn’t denial one of the stages of grief, next is acceptance

No, accepting rumours as fact is weird

Would you provide a link to that please...or is it just BS?

There is that I agree

It's a twitter 'itk'.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Or Kia Joorabchian has got in his ear because he needs to oil the wheels for another transfer.

But that is just baseless

It suits the narrative for some.

We have no idea who decides on player targets now but the correct answer is Benitez... probably.

A much better choice than a bang average loan from Villa
