Should have gone to the championship really, but I really doubt he'd have been up for that. Nice is Nicer.
I agreed but why not loaning him to a championship team or EPL team?
Vestergaard makes no sense. Will cost a lot due to Premier League premium, is 29 soon etc.
The profile of what we’ll sign will be another Gabriel. Abit left field, and someone who can come here and develop/grow.
He is done here already imo....loan to france indicates he is put on the window to showcase his skills. Going back to france does nothing in terms of him getting used to english football. . We will be where we are now in 6 months with him having zero english football experience
I think people have become age obsessed. If it was up to them the whole team would be under 23 lool. We could do with a CB who is 26-28 year old with experienceWhy the hell would we sign another CB like Gabriel, we have enough young developing CBs. Young promising CBs are ten a penny these days, every transfer window there's a new list of them as long as your arm, once you have 2 or 3 you really don't need any more.
If the club wants someone to replace the experience of Luiz/Sokratis/Mustafi(hah), they'd be looking at someone in the 27-30 age range, like when we brought Per in. Someone like Willi Orban or Martin Hinteregger.
Agree re cup games and pretty much everything else.That's fair enough on the Europa, I didn't know that was before the transfer window shut. Still that was 3 League Cup games he could have played ahead of Luiz or Mustafi who don't appear to be in Arteta's long term plans.
Seems as well we've had months to prepare a loan for him only to give him away without a loan fee which I gather is the norm these days in loans rather than just straight wages.
Hopefully he'll go and get games till the end of the season and be a valuable member of our squad next season. Would just hate the thought of us giving up on a prospect like him when we see how good Fofana has been at Leicester. Another who wasn't signed to start straight away but through injuries has been given a chance and ran with it.
