Twitter Transfer Rumours

He’s not that good, don’t want him.

 

Trying to protect myself from being disappointed.

Hmmm, curious...it's been shared by this account too, obviously quoting them as the source:

Sudanalytics have 370k followers...so if they're sharing this...maybe there's something in it...?

 

Are you saying they’re a “Gauto” source over there? 

[surrifox]

WTF is that tat?

I hate these twitter links to South American players that seemingly come and go with no real truth to them

 

Properly blue balling a fair few of us

I love this increase in rumours connecting us to random South American wonder kids that we literally never sign and are 99% certain to become the next Carlos Fierro. It's like someone heard about the rule changes and then all of a sudden got us confused with an imaginative football club. 

 

When was the last time we signed anyone from outside of a small selection of European countries? All Pierre Laurari jokes aside, have we actually done it since? 

 

Do we even actually scout in south America at all? Let alone Japan, Korea, the entire continent of Africa, Mexico, the USA?

Is it Argentina day? Maybe not but today is the anniversary of a certain King turning up in a car park...

Only player I can think of from Africa we have picked up is Kamal Sowah, but that is because I think we had a connection with the right to dream academy or something like that

 

USA we have done a little bit with Odunze, Booth, and now Opoku - although Odunze has now gone back

 

Seemingly not getting involved in the South American market when it is very much a gold mine with quality inexpensive youngsters is really annoying though

I've just never got over the fact we didn't sign Gabigol after we won the league.

Annoying thing is there's enough data and coverage available that you could initially get away without even having a scout over there to start with. If I have enough time on my hands to suggest as many as I have from South America (and more often then not outside of the big 2) as well as others doing so on here, then I'm sure a professional club with dedicated resource should be able to do it with ease......

The thought of 2-3 South American wonder kids signing and toughening them up in the physical Championship before hitting the Premier League next season is exciting, but let's not kid ourselves 🤣

I love this myth of the super scary mean rough tough Championship like everyone in it is an absolute cage fighting animal. 

 

People should go and watch some South American league football. 

 

It's fvcking savage. James Maddison made his name in the Championship ffs. If Madders tried to play in some Chilean or Argentine league match he'd be snapped in half inside three minutes.

Gabriel Sara is beginning to click for Norwich as well

I mean Neymar became world class in Brazil despite being built like a twig. I think physicality in modern day football is overstated as a whole, players are well protected nowadays compared to in the past.

I'd post the challenge by Marcelo in the Libertadores but it's awful 😂

Yeah speaking to a Norwich supporting friend he said he was good last season but has gone up another level this season. Seems to have strengthened up and upped his pace.

 

Wants the transfer window to shut sharpish (unlike us) as petrified that someone will grab him and Rowe, who he says is an absolute beast of a player.

Oh, right! So was your point to enlighten us all about your deep South American football knowledge? Or are you suggesting the Championship isn't physical because players like Madders thrived? I do recall Maddison chopped in half and tackled quite hard in the Championship aswell pretty sure his first major knee injury was sustained there aswell.

I think he was suggesting that South American players are used to playing in physical leagues, not that the Championship isn’t physical

Why are so many people on this forum intimidated by the fact that some people are interested in watching football from other countries? 

 

Shit, you don't even need to pay for a cable package to watch the Copa Libertadores, the BBC show a bunch of games. 

 

You can go and watch highlights from just about every league in the world on YouTube on your phone these days.
