    18 days is so tough mate. So pleased to hear you are set to get home with happy and healthy mum and baby for Christmas. Been through some similar stuff in the past with babies and hospitals, well done to you and the Mrs and baby for getting through what will likely be one of the toughest times of your lives ❤

    If Gonzo's earlier video is anything to go by, Steidten won't be buying anyone without the board sanctioning first.
    We have good players on board, our problem lies with Lopetegui and Sullivan.

    • @damiandamico4715
      @damiandamico4715 3 дня назад +1

      He's harder working than Paqueta (Certainly this season). He's not as talented, in my opinion. Then again, I have a pecking order in my head of how I'd manage the squad, and if i'm honest, since the beginning of that season, Paqueta has fell down that list. It's very neck and neck between the 2 for me but I'll be honest, if I had to start one or he other, next game (discounting actual circumstances related to suspensions) I'd probably slightly lean towards Soler. Paqueta is more likely to give you a 9 out of 10, then drop a 4 out of 10 performance the next week, where as Soler, you can count on him to give you straight 6's and 7's. Very reflective of both of their characters, in my opinion. I'm not saying Soler wouldn't be a good buy, I'm just like Geo, I would wait until the summer. Does feel like a one horse race at the moment. I think he likes it here, aswell. I think he'd stay whether Lop was here or not TBH. I have a feeling he likes the club and possibly London. I like him. Very stable character, always works hard and is a bit more athletic than I presumed. You know PSG played him every where aswell,. 10, 8, possibly both wings and even RB. I'd have a word with him and say "we like you" and would be happy to sign you if you want to stay in the summer, but let us go and strengthen elsewhere this Jan and we will work something out in the Summer..

    Permanently signing Solar makes some registration & financial sense.
    As per the PL website on Loans:
    “Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time. - The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.”
    So signing him permanently will allow us to loan another player in. Also if a fee was already agreed then it’s easy to negotiate and complete

I know it’s not a full deep dive but rarely do opposition fans say that about another club of the jack of 3 undefeated games. The fact even other clubs fans can see how poor we are is so worrying. Let’s hope it changes soon.

  • @damiandamico4715
    @damiandamico4715 3 дня назад +1

    Totally agree, Geo. Why would you commit 20 million to a player in Jan who is already yours for the rest of the season? That's point 1.
    Point 2. He was brought in by a manger who has us currently sitting in 14th, has managed the squad horrendously all season and realistically has no long term future here.
    Point 3. 0 goals, zero assists, if I'm not mistaken
    Point 4: Ernest Nuamah got quoted at 20 million last summer, and has a much higher ceiling.
    No, no, no. We'll talk in the summer, Soler. Right now, you need to focus on keeping the manger who brought you here his job, because in terms of Lop being here a long time; like Castillo says, "It's not looking good BRUV".
    No, no, no. Reassess in the summer. 20 million that could be directed elsewhere. CF, left sided box to box, LB/LCB and still have Soler for the rest of the season (minimum).
    And if we miss out on him in the summer. Boo hoo. We save 20 million.

      Dubious to pay the 20 million in January for him, but if it means we can get a foreign loan for a ball carrying-mobile-b2b in this window then it may be worth it. May. We’d be improving passing quality, athleticism in midfield, and hopefully more ball retention in that area. I’m not too sold with soler yet, but I still think of his assist to AWB against Arsenal.

      Away from that (which is a relative point in itself), we have Soler for the rest of the season and can spend the money elsewhere for now, which gives us more resources for the remainder of the season and gives Soler more of a chance to show us what he's about.

    I disagree Geo. We have to assume that Soler is party to the discussions on this and has therefore agreed to take a pay cut, as there's no way WH are paying him £200K, if that is indeed, his PSG wage. He is obviously a very good player - he's certainly consistently impressed me - and therefore come the summer, there will be a number of other clubs who would be willing and able to pay £20m plus for him, and perhaps some who would willing to pay more. He'll be 28 in January, so we should get 3 or 4 years out oh him, and he cost PSG £50 two years ago.

    I, like you, thought that it was a limit of 2 domestic loans, however it appears that many not be the case. From the 24/25 Premier League Handbook -
    - Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
    - The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.

    Hiya geo mate I hope your all good and Mrs geo and baby grace are doing a lot better and I wish you all a merry Christmas as a family. And I think we will have kudus til the summer and soler has been a good player he's better on the ball then soucek and Rodriguez but I think 18 million is a good deal for soler and we get rid of rodi fulkrug release ings and get back jwp and potts and just get in a proper striker or use kudus upfront

    20m is a steal. I think he's a cracking little player.

      Ernest Nuamah for 20 million is a steal. Aaron Wan Bissaka at 15 is a steal. Not sure I would call Soler at 20 a steal in comparison.

    So glad that you and your family get to go home for Xmas. Thanks for all the stuff throughout the year. It makes this ex-pat still feel connected to his team of nearly 54 years (since I was 7.) I think Steidten is Sullivan’s fall guy, especially now. He’s being used to try and deflect negative attention away. If we lose against Southampton and I really think it could happen, then Sullivan MUST sack Lopetegui immediately. Anything less is serious negligence towards our beloved club. Give us fans a break, we need something to believe in again. It’s been really tough so far this season but Sullivan could change all that. This really should be Lopetegui’s last chance, lose or dismal performance and you’re out. COYI ✊🏼⚒🦘
