Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[BlueToff]

I’ve also been told his lack of pace could be a worry. Still got to be faster than Jags tho.

Jags is not slow.

He would have got back to challenge for that goal yesterday if he'd have been in Keane's position, lets put it that way.

Mina - big, imposing, capable of turning possession back to our midfield quickly and can really attack a set piece. 23 years old.

Would be a very good signing imo.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Mina and Holgate would have a bit if everything between them. Better than watching Williams Jags and Keane.

 

[TheGeeseofGoodisonRoad]

Haha, seen that, is it a legal requirement to have them set in the contract?

I remember reading that release clauses in Spain are paid to the player and then when it's activated the player pays it back to the club I think ? sorta like a reverse loyalty bonus or something.
think they're mandatory anyway

Sigurdsson will be popping balls onto Mina head for fun, he could be the first centre back to score 30 in a season haha

 

[Kinky Koeman]

I don’t think Mina looks slow. He looks about as quick as you could reasonably expect a 6”5 unit to be. He must be a decent passer of the ball too, otherwise Barcelona wouldn’t have signed him.

He’s a big unit, players find it difficult to get around his frame. Plus he has long legs which enable him to activate the last ditch challenge which many hate due to apparently showing a weakness that enabled the attacker the ability to creat space and opportunity.

Jags is quicker than any of our other centre backs bar Holgate

Been a few occasions the last couple of seasons where he looked like he was running backwards at times, think with the pace in the premier league an his age catching up with him, his pace certainly isn’t one of his strengths anymore.

Which just emphasises our need for pace at the back.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Mina is the bees knees.

Remember when Lescott scored 14?

 

[Saint Domingo]

He’d be good for a few set piece goals too. Get Delap out of retirement.

 

[TheVelourFog]

signings beget more signings

once players see a couple are getting on board the dominoes should fall

 

[Kinky Koeman]

Remember when Lescott scored 14?

He was special attacking the ball in the box.

He was special attacking the ball in the box.

Just checked because 14 seemed too many, was actually 10. But, still...
