I think he's a rare example of a winger who's genuinely two-sided. For Nice he started almost exclusively on the right, for Newcastle vast majority left. Even during matches he's always floated and switched sides - especially for Nice who were less tactically rigid.
Ismaila Sarr
- Thread starter Zoo
- Start date
Would this be massively underwhelming? It's not even cheap.
Buy him and sell James next year. Keep Sarr as backup when we sign Sancho.
Not happening. There is a god after all.
From Sancho to Dembele to Sarr.
And of course Chiesa got snapped up by Juventus! Of course, we're just assuming that Chiesa wouldn't have joined because "Italian players won't leave Italy". Wouldn't fecking hurt to put in a bid, would it?

I'd rather we sign no-one that bloat our squad with more average players that we'll be stuck with for years.
Wow. Diogo Jota and Christian Pulisic look really good based on this chart. Who is Samuel Chukwueze? Is he with Valencia? Ismaila Sarr, is the Watford badge in the middle, right?This is the profile of player we should be targeting:
Young talents who are creative and productive 1v1. Sarr is neither.
ASM would be perfect, and might have been obtainable. No way Mike Ashley, of all people, turns down a decent offer in the middle of a financial downturn. Ousmane Dembele would also feature highly on this list - right between Saint-Maximin and Mbappe as a high volume, high creative player - but didn't complete the minimum number of games to be eligible.
We need a 'chaos creator' - as Wenger famously dubbed it - against low block teams to create space and force mistakes.
I wonder how reliable this kind of metric is?
Get neither. We're being fecked doggystyle here by Barca and Watford
I do enjoy seeing bids rejected by championship clubs on deadline day. This transfer window has been one for the history books
there is nothing remotely exciting about anything we are doing today. Telles is probably the highlight
he’s quite a bit better than Sarr anyway by the looks of things.
this is just staggering incompetence that we're in for this guy at the end of the window
I reckon Chiesa and probably Tonali turned us down. Chiesa would have been a solid signing and Tonali would have instantly took Matic out of the team. Sigh

I haven't seen much of Chukwueze, other than a few highlight videos when we were linked with him. Think it was just last summer wasn't it? Pulisic is fantastic though, and unfortunately I think Jota will be a good piece of the puzzle for Liverpool.
Apparently the Watford badge is Luis Suarez - not that one
- from his time at Zaragoza, who again I haven't seen anything of.I see. Yeah, Pulisic and Jota are looking good, sadly. Thanks for the clarification. Cheers!! Luis Suarez .... hahahI haven't seen much of Chukwueze, other than a few highlight videos when we were linked with him. Think it was just last summer wasn't it?

Enough in the PL last season to know he's not good enough, he's not worth £25M on a permanent nevermind a loan, we've made our bed and should lay in it, not waste even more money on players who we'll struggle to shift.
From the Sky Sports ticker:
'Asking for a friend'
The Athletic are saying we're negotiating for him.
The thing with James Cooper is, he'll be relaying with the club want him to say.
So if negotiations hit a deadlock, they can get him to come out and say we're not interested, even if we are but want it on our terms.

So I guess this or nothing for the deadline day ? Crap.
Sick to my guts
We not even shopping at Aldi now.
We are going to starve
Didn't Liverpool try to sign him before Jota?
Don't we have until October 16 to potentially get this done?
That's the Domestic Window deadline which is longer than the normal deadline.
It will be Sarr or David Brooks on October 16.

Yeah but if we wanted to register him for the CL it would need to be done now.
Needs to be done tomorrow for champions league registration doesn't it?
I think so yes
Yeah what an absolute farce we are
we could still sign him. We are going to Europa anyway.
Yeah we'll need him to thrash PSG.
I’d like him here. Think he’s got potential and at 30-40m, he’d hopefully still leave us room to sign Sancho next summer who can play in multiple positions. Let’s not forget Liverpool wanted him, it’s not like he’s total shite just because he’s now in the championship.
of all of our alternatives, I think he has the most chance of being a good squad player at least, assuming Dembele continues his injury form of course.

Surely the CL thing is not that important (I confess, I don't know much about him). It would mean Greenwood wouldn't have to play every game if we want someone capable there.
Surely we wouldn't be interested in signing this guy IF we still have any belief of getting Sancho next summer
Antonio Valencia II. And I mean that in the nicest terms (that I can), lots of pace and will run at players. Twice as good as James so worth £35 million or more? I hope so... But not convinced yet
True. I think at 25 million it would probably make sense.
Why? Liverpool signed Jota despite having their front 3
Because have put our faith in these african and south american wonderkids
I imagine most would take him if selling James meant a balance of 10m or so?
No, we are adding 2 wingers already, might as well see how they do, Sarr and James are much of a muchness.
