He's a real scoutI think he/she's got to be an elaborate WUM at this point? Consistently ridiculous takes
I'm not sure I quite understand the thinking on this one. I haven't seen much of Martinez but apparently he can play full-back or defensive midfield?
I really can't believe we're signing someone who is 5ft 9" to play CB in the Premier League. I know the game is evolving and there are better, more modern methods of negating the threat of your archetypal "target man"....but still, I'll go out on a limb here and say you can't be 5ft 9" and play as a CB in a back four in the Premier League

Well get used to it; because you are signing him as a CB. Times change. He will play LCB and a very big chance this will be in a back four.
I think the importance of height is massively overplayed but leaving that argument aside, does having a lower centre of gravity as a CB provide any advantages?
It will provide a more stable base while carrying Maguire and his massive head.
Should be able to master/improve Kane's piledriver trick
Not even close unfortunately.
There are loads of advantages to having a low centre of gravity as a CB, particularly not been spun on the turn or rolled on touch-contact.
More likely to match the twists and turns of a smaller trickier forward who relies more on skill than strength
Who was that dude who did an audio read-through of one of Lucky Scout's previous posts and posted it on the Caf? That was hilarious. I would love to hear this in audio format, not gonna lie.
If we sign him is it safe to say that any possible Timber transfer to us is dead, both for this window and following ones?
Not the following ones, we'll always have tabs on players like Timber. Dead this window though for sure.
You’re not really going out on a limb when at least 20% of posts in this thread recycle this exact point
I think it makes it easier to tackle but don't quote me on that.
But that doesn't rules out Mbappe though, does it?
Which mean we could now prepare a 300m bid for Mbappe next summer with 1m per week salary and 100m signing on fee, and the rights to sack anyone he wants, which means he could sack Glazers too!
My goodness me. What a car crash post!
Nice try Scott
Get back to pre-season training and conditioning alreadyThis isn't FIFA, Scott is useless on the pitch.
All he does is foul and give mean looks to make himself look tough and you'll see him running into defenders just to ensure he's not a passing option.
Just copy and paste it into one of the many text to audio converting sites on the internet and enjoy.
Would be good in the premier league against Son, Jesus, Sterling, Salah, Jota and so on. And any new Aguero that might pop up
All signs pointing to this being our third signing.
and the one that should have been first, our primary target of the window is still no closer to happening
Funny, cos he mostly had Haaland in his back pocket when they faced each other last season..
Although I do essentially agree, out of the transfers we look to be making De Jong was always going to be the most tricky and time consuming.
I think this could be a smart signing if we pull it off. Although I don't know a lot about him, since he was Ajax player of the year and ETH knows him well it seems like a natural fit.
Also he is able to cover multiple positions where we have weaknesses. Maguire was really poor last season and Varane has a pretty bad injury record so I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities at CB.
Also Shaw missed a lot of the season and it seems like Telles will go albeit with Malacia coming in.
We also have a glaring hole at DM which he can fill too. I think also with the new five sub rule it makes sense to bring in quality players who also have versatility to cover a number of positions.

It is going to be funny when signing and playing him makes McTominay a key part of the team to provide some aerial screening in front of the defense.

I think perhaps Mr. Pigeon or one of the mods remember where to find it?Please point me to this post
I tried Lucky Scouts latest post in the voice of Zoomer. Was brilliant.
That is great :lol
I dont know why it reminded me of this.
Cant seem to add spoiler on the mob but disclaimer of sensitive language
It is in the sense that what I expected was about a hundred notifications when I logged back in from posters calling me an idiot and saying 'errrr what about Carlos Kickaballos who won the Brazilian 2nd Division Cup in 1982!"
It seems like we're going all in on a possession style, similar in midfield with no link to a more defensive minded player. I hope Ten Hag knows what he's doing, there is a reason teams like Liverpool still buy towers like Konate.
