I hope the move puts a bit more pressure on that Albanian bald eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 10 July 2018 Share Posted 10 July 2018 Torreria was impressive in the World Cup, reminded me a bit of Kante in that he made a number of interceptions despite being quite a small guy. Not as good at tackling, but same nose for interceptions and actually quite a good passer of the ball. I think he might end up being one of those "under the radar" signings a bit like Maguire and of course Kante have been for us in recent years. Not sure what to make of Arsenal's new look. I feel like they have signed players for the positions they were weak in (GK, CB, DCM), but that none of their signings are particularly impressive. But at the end of the day it's a team game and if their new manager can gel them they might improve. Right now though I think they will finish in the same position as last season (6th) depending on what happens with Chelsea. When you look at their side the only player you really fear is Aubameyang who I think will easily reach 20 league goals this year. In an ideal world I maintain some hope that Puel's new signings smash it early doors and we come out of the gates flying and nick 5th place from the Arsenal clubs. Of course there's also the fear that losing the Mahrez creativity makes us significantly worse, leading to a Puel exit and another coach coming in who will want to change up the squad again, leading to a tough old season! However, having seen a number of our players do quite well at the World Cup, I think another top half (hopefully top 7) finish is on the cards.

I don't think Southgate is as easily influenced as previous managers. There will be no free rides with Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would be surprised if its that much I must admit but there is a reason clubs are just cherry picking Sporting players at the minute.

StriderHiryu Posted 12 July 2018 Share Posted 12 July 2018 Incredible signing by Fulham! Seri had agreed terms last year with Barcelona only to pull the plug at the last second so to get him is quite the coup and I think he’ll do well in the Premier League.

It stinks of going for the paycheck rather than the opportunity, but the player is a good one. Perhaps he wants the opportunity to be guaranteed first team and show what he can do? Regardless of motive, I think it's a good addition to the league. Kind of jealous we missed out, but we have enough players in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
