Loan Watch 2022/2023

[Alan]

Absolutely, just wondering if he does OK out there, will we be looking to flip him for a small profit?

Half decent CBs are rarer than Bigfoot in MLS. If he shows out we can easily squeeze a healthy profit from selling him, IMO.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We paid £4.5m for him, hard to see MLS clubs paying more than that.

 

[Alan]

Forgot we'd paid that much tbh.

Okay, maybe we get £500k profit. I can easily imagine him going for ~$6.5m in MLS if he does well.

CB values are inflated here.

Good move for everyone.

EDIT: Sounds like no option for Cincy to purchase him, just extend the loan after June 30th.

I also saw that Wycombe sold one of their starting wingers during the window so Chem might get more chance of getting opportunities

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They did. Went to Bristol City to replace Semenyo who has joined Bournemouth.

The length of the Mosquera deal is entirely up to Cincinnati and him now. If they want to keep him for the entire MLS season then they can, we're happy to let him go until January 2024. Obviously if he's not playing, not happy or (optimism alert) he does so well that he gets the nudge that we're likely to consider him a first team option, he might come back here for pre-season.

He always looks a very happy man on the video clips we put out....but that mood must have been tested when he who really shouldn't be mentioned or a thread turns into 500 pages talking about the goon, put a central midfielder ahead of him in a game where we played 3 CB's.

The weirdest thing with that...

When Collins got sent off vs City we spent 10 minutes doing nothing. Then he was all ready to come on just before HT, final prep, putting his shirt on. Definitely, 100%, he was coming on.

Then Admiral Goon tells him to sit back down and that was that.

I have said this before but I had no problem with what he did that day. We dropped Ruben back the moment Collins was sent off and if he had stayed in his midfield position , he would have probably spent most of the game sat as a sweeper anyway. Could have been a disaster but for the best part it worked, with regards to allowing us to get the ball every now and again and restricted them, even if they played within themselves for a bit.
Can see why we got Mosq ready then made a decision to stick with things a little longer
The issue is the following week. Huge game, needs to win and we get the final confirmation of a man who has lost the plot and is scrambling around. 3 interviews after the City game "no, of course Neves won't play in the defence again"

Then we line up with a back 3 and pop Ruben and Jonny in there. 2 CB's sat on the bench

Waste of a loan, everyone knows that Bielefeld doesn't exist.

A sour case of - oh yeah, well we didn't want him any way! Anderlecht CEO of Sports Jesper Fredberg:


“Silva is a very good footballer, but his profile no longer matched the way we want to play football."

“He could no longer be the best version of himself here and then you have to find a solution. In the games without him, Raman and Stroeykens achieved a nice average anyway.”

Message from a Stoke fan:

Please take Hoever back. How has he got a contract with a Premier League club?

 

[big mean bunny]

He got a 5 match rating for his sub performance in a game where the Stoke players nearly all got a 5 where I checked. (some Stoke newspaper)

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

8 goals and 4 assists in 18 games for Kawabe (not that he will ever play for us)

Fabio came off the bench for PSV away to Feyenoord earlier, replacing Luuk de Jong

I have seen zero footage and have no context but he came on at 2-0 up and they drew 2-2 (PSV were down to 10 men, mind) He also got booked.

No idea how it was 2-2, particularly after the red card Feyenoord absolutely battered them. 35 shots at goal and it took a Jahanbakhsh header and a 25 yarder to draw them level.

Yellow card was a tactical foul to break up an attack in practically the last minute. He held it up well a couple of times but then also could have done better on occasions. Be interesting to see if he can get ahead of De Jong at any point.
