2018/19 Yerry Mina

[PITA]

Please show me where I said Mori isn't better than Jags, I was referring to the decision Martinez made that buying Mori rather than VVD for a similar fee was preferable.

You might have noticed that Dave tends to avoid questions that he doesn't want to answer.

How could they have qualified for Europe each of the last 10 seasons when they were relegated in 2012 and subsequently not even in La Liga the following year. As I’ve already said they didn’t win any cups. Where are you getting that info?

same place he gets all his info from. When that info is subsequently proven to be complete BS, all of a sudden the goalposts shift.

But he wasn’t. He said he’d be the worst buy ever as he was league one standard.

Whilst he wasn’t fantastic, he wasn’t the worst buy ever.

The words Tim vickery should be filtered on here as a banned phrase for the utter wham he chats.

I don’t remember him being so polarised on Mori, but fair enough.

I do remember him saying Mori had a mistake in him and can be caught out positionally. Which was ultimately correct.

This is what he said first about Funes Mori:

Then he changed his tune and said this:

Then he was wrong to start with but basically proven right over time about the errors in his game (kinda true but it's easy to say things like that in hindsight):

In summary, I don't think his opinion counts for much, he's flip flopped there with RFM over the years. Give Mina a chance, I don't think we'll be in a situation where we lose much money on him if he flops - personally, I think he's got a lot of good attributes for the Premier League and he'll do well when he settles, but he'll need some time to do that.

What he said was "He does not have the quality, the pace or the physicality to survive in the Premier League.”

Which was true. He's a carthorse. Simple facts.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I agree but that wasn't the point I was making.

Aimed more at davek than you

Looks like Mina is still on his holidays

He enquired about VVD and was rebuffed. Then moved on.

If you recall celtic wanted £12m for VVD. Originally we had £6.5 accepted for Mori and then got rinsed for another £3m at the end of the deal. Typical transfer incompetence from EFC.

From Mori himself. It seems like he had a 50% sell on fee to himself and NOBODY seemed to have known about it before he was in England.

Yeah, I don't get this at all. He was training with Barcelona a week ago. It's been almost a week since he's been transferred, why isn't he in training here?

I can only think his injured or is training but not been reported

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Maybe he really joined United and we really goofed up with all that social media stuff. Would explain his absence from training for us.

Be good to get a favourable draw tomorrow in the League Cup. Gives Mina, Bernard and Zouma the chance to play and get minutes with relatively little risk.

Liverpool, away.
