January 2019 Transfer Window

[cronullasharks]

pssh, you're not a real football fan unless you know how the trequartista, segundo volante, carrilero, mezzala, enganche, raumdeuter and regista fit into the modern game

(we can blame the italians for most of these i think, as well as football manager for re-popularizing them)

Does the word midfield get used anymore ?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Failed miserably in Italy and Portugal

Only by us luddites it would appear.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

I've heard enganche used outside of footy manager, that's it.

Sandro Wagner seems like is available and would be interesting, but doesn't seem like a Brand buy.

Watching Lyon and while Ndombele lacks polish and isn't a finished product, his talent is undeniable. So explosive, runs with the ball with crazy pace, definitely reminds me a bit of Doucoure, but could be better.

 

[buskwhi2]

Barbosa from inter is the one we want

Same agent as Bernard. Just an observation

 

[EverBlue92]

Does anyone else find it a bit weird that the majority of players we are linked with are attacking midfielders? We're pretty well stocked for that type of player but most days there's a new winger, playmaker, trequarista (for the hipsters!) etc.. linked.

WTF is a trequarista
I’ve heard of inverted wingers , false No 9 s , and a host of other crap names but I’ve never heard of a trequarista

HAhahaha who used that?!

@windymiller did
I was bemused , bewildered and bothered

I actually hate myself that I knew what it meant now I think about it.

I’ve never used it in real life though.

You’d get some funny looks if you used that term in my local

Full transcript for context!
