Fair play to Murtough and Arnold, good work in a short period of time bringing a reinforcement in for the business end of the season

He said his GoodBye in Munich yesterday

I wish him and you guys all the best. He's a good and versatile squad player but somehow it didnt work out for him at Bayern.

But thats also due to the fact that Kimmich is set and Goretzka (no matter how his form is) is also set when he is fit.

Just don't expect a world class player. His speed, passing, pressing and technique are all "good" but no part of his game is very good.

He can also play RB btw.

Well then. Trust the gaffer and be excited.

We’ve lost Eriksen this window but gained Weghorst, Sabitzer and arguably Sancho.

Let’s hope for a strong finish to the season and then continue to build with the right signings. Not necessarily the biggest and most fancy.

I do trust the gaffer, but I don't think he got the players he wanted, or the right signings, like you say, not in this transfer window. Maybe I am wrong, though. Maybe these two are stop gaps for us to finish strong, and he will get the right players in the summer.

I think the latter.

Remember they are both loans so don’t get in the way of summer plans. The new owners will be in by then too.

 

[jeepers]

McTominay is also out for weeks

Hopefully Sabitzer does well enough to keep him out for the rest of the season.

Thank you. This winning the transfer window, we have done it before, and it didn't work out well for us. These two are smart, low risk deals with good profiles. I'm excited to see how Sabitzer will play in our shirt like I was with Weghorst, and he is doing very well.

Thanks. I think that sums up the loan deal.

I am not having high expectations but a decent performance will do.

They are definitely stop-gaps. Whilst perhaps not the best/ideal options to us armchair transfer gurus, I believe EtH has gone with players he knows would fit with his football which will guarantee a higher chance of quicker assimilation and more effective contributions, while also staying within the limits he was given (my assumption here).

To be honest, Sabitzer is a pleasant surprise as I didn’t think we were getting any midfielders in. I wasn’t aware of McT’s injury as well.

GGMU!

Fantastic stuff! Can't wait to see him play!

Thanks. How do you see him fitting in our midfield with Casemiro and Bruno? Obviously we have Fred and Mctominay too but Eriksen was our more creative passer.

WTF does winning the transfer window even mean?

 

[Blackwidow]

I would be surprised if not. It is a school subject in Germany and probably Austria, too, from 3rd form or 5th form for atleast 5 years.

 

[Infra-red]

That's a good, sensible signing and frankly much better than anything I expected us to do this month given that the club is a) broke and b) for sale.

Whether it is enough to keep us in the top 4, who knows. I think it will be very tight, but Sabitzer will certainly help fill a bit of the midfield void.

 

[GoonerGirly]

Good get considering options are limited given your situation.

 

[TheReligion]

I think he’s referring to the attitude that buying the most expensive shiny new players is always the best outcome?

Often it’s better to just do the right business and get the right fit.

 

[jeepers]

I would assume getting the “biggest” aka Football Manager transfer, thus “winning” the transfer window. Signings that look great and are the envy of opposition fans but not ideal/sensible signings for the team. No way Boehly would let that happen.

Well thanks for pissing on our chips mate. I’ve pulled it in and zipped back up now.

I see, I don't do football manager, prefer the real world!

Just refer to our previous windows under Ed “We can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can only dream of” Woodward!

Thing is, we needed a signing even before Eriksens injury to get us through to the end of the season, what with so many games. Is Sabitzer better or as good as Eriksen?

 

[always_hoping]

Will he be allowed to play in the Europa League against Barcelona?

 

[NLunited]

Doesn‘t the fact that we got them on loan tell you something? One is temp replacement for Buttface, the other for Eriksen.

Sabitzer is a perfect profile, the question is whether he will perform well enough to get permanently signed. I think he might.

No reason why not

basically we're getting a cheap trial, if the do the business then we;ll have a good chance of buying them for reasonable money, if not then it's cost little

Yes, so good business. Weghorst so far been very useful as well.

 

[croadyman]

Yeah me neither I will adopting the same open mindset whenever Weghorst plays

If he performs like he mostly did at Leipzig he even might fit better into your setup! The question if he is better or worse is not the best as they are different in style.

 

[Red in STL]

Yes, so good business. Weghorst so far been very useful as well.

Weghorst, if he carries on as he has would be a squad player, whether he wants to be one is another matter though

Ta. Look forward to seeing him, I wonder if he will play tomorow.

 

[croadyman]

Safe to say he missed deadline for that,however can see him playing a part on Saturday

 

[Himannv]

Very pleased that we got this over the line. He's a much needed reinforcement to midfield in the short term.

 

[Red in STL]

Highly unlikely, doubt he'll be available for Palace either, Leeds next week is the best bet IMO

 

[kaku06]

In the words of Van Gaal “that’s a stupid question”.

 

[Nicoseth]

Signed on Tuesday - I would hope he would make the bench for the weekend.

 

[SAFMUTD]

I can see us looking for a permanent move in the summer. Bayern midfield has better players all younger than him. I expect him to have a good spell and push for the move.

 

[SmashedHombre]

He’s for sure better than Enzo Fernandez and Jorginho combined
