The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[Alan]

Well, I tried.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

He's decent on the ball, I never understood why GON kept putting him as some sort of Neves tribute act though. There's an impact sub role as a sort of 8/10 hybrid that could have been effective on occasion, rarely used there though. He also had a decent dead ball at Sheff Utd which should have translated, but didn't.

He’s a decent footballer and has had some decent moments but he lacks two key qualities, pace and strength. Players make it in the PL without one of those but not many without both.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Nobody else will find this interesting. I tried to ignore you but you went on another of your self pitying diatribes

How did you ignore me? You made a post clearly with the goal of antagonising me!?

That's quite obviously the opposite of ignoring someone.

You post crappy stuff at me, then tell me I'm being a victim when I respond.

 

[Alan]

I think he could just about make a PL career for himself, but it would require a very specific setup and a very particular kind of midfield partner, and he’s just not at a level that warrants building around him in that way.

Kudos @Alan and @Wilf Wolf for studiously ignoring the nonsense

It’s quite easy. EP has a view on a subject and wants everyone to agree with him. After about a page my eyes glaze over and I just ignore whatever the latest “but you’re not listening to me” post. Oddly I quite often think he’s made valid points but there comes a time when scrolling not debating is the only sane option.

Actually, I like people to debate/discuss with me and not resort to being personal, nasty or insulting.

That's what I want, I don't consider it a big ask really either, it really takes the biscuit when the same people then moan at me for being annoyed by that.

There’s debate and ever decreasing circles.

Not when someone is posting in the same manner with the "rent free" etc...no.

And how long ago was he banned? 6 months? More?

 

[Woburn Wolf]

Think Cunha is every bit as good as Jota, personally.

Better imo.

 

[Squeak]

Better imo.

I'd agree. Technically a better and more skilful player but Jota has an enormous heart and will to win. Cunha is weaker mentally IMO and it would be Jota I'd want in my team.

I wouldn’t say Cunha is weak mentally. After all, he was a shining light throughout the start of our season. Weak mentally he would’ve dropped tools and gone missing.

Just a different character to Jota, more outspoken etc. both ironically quite petulant at times.

Both very good players for the club though

 

[Dire Wolf]

My only criticisms of Jota are that he is a bit of a diver and he can have small streaks of being poor. When he's on song he's superb.

I compared him to Jota and my opinion is Jota is stronger in that department.

Yeah just realised misread your post.

Think it will show whether he is weaker mentality when he moves on. See if he can make the ‘step up’

Big fish small pond syndrome

 

[Celtiña]

I agree a lot of you, cunha have a good tech and conditions, but bad mentality of teamwork. That is because he dont played a lot on Atletico Madrid.

You guys need one player like this he score, but too made good trought pases and assists.

Roma and Inter watch he. Only cost 10millons.


And to right wing:

Leicester are watching he...

Need buy assist and goals, and teamwork att players.

I miss the miserable old fool.

Could we offer up Elephant Pyjamas as a sacrifice to un-ban him?

 

[Jolemai]

If it bothered him that much, he would have just come back with a new account. It's impossible to IP ban these days.

 

[Templeton Peck]

If a new member appears calling everyone a prick we'll know who it is.
