Was the last time we signed a player but had to wait for them to arrive Naby?

Dont think we're waiting for him to arrive, more like wanting him to not be here yet but needing the deal done now.

We have Ali already and Kelleher. Mamardashvili is a weird future signing?!

 

[jod23]

Dont love this.

One of Ali and Kelleher ain't around next season. And I think it's a shot across the bow to Alisson - be available for more games this season. He missed a lot of games last season for a keeper.

The article the other day about Alisson sounds promising, But I've got no idea how Kelleher is still here, should be a No.1 somewhere. Mamardashvili is too good to be a No.2 as well. Jaros could potentially be a No.2.

Yeah and this is a fair old slap in the face for Kelleher, basically don't ever see you as number 1.

 

[jod23]

It's bizarre all around.

We've basically bought a No.1 whilst already having the best GK in the world.

What that says to Alisson? No idea what he must be thinking.

Kelleher knows he's behind Ali anyways and he knows Mamardashvili is a No.1 so he probably doesnt care either way.

He wont be here this season anyways, it's next year where things will get awkward.

I think it would be excellent for his development, a season of first team football in the Bundesliga after a horror run with injuries.


It does not make sense though if we aren't signing another mid. Our only options would be Endo & Grav in that position which just isn't enough with CL & cup games.

Austrian Bundesliga. Salzburg not Leipzig. He'll be with Pep Lijnders who you would expect will treat him right knowing how bad his body has been over the last 2 years.

Still a good thing for him at his age under Pep. He needs to rebuild confidence in his body, needs regular first team football. I can't think of a better option as the club knows Pep well.

 

[Zidane98]

That aspect of this deal isn't great. Kelleher must know he is leaving in 12 months time and that isn't ideal motivation wise.


If our future is Mamardashvilli as #1 from either 26 or 27 IMO we should promote Jaros to #2 and sell Kelleher now.

It's better for Baj to play regularly at a CL club then sitting on the bench here

Probably right but he's also handy depth when the injuries come! What's our midfield depth chart looking like now? By my count we have six senior central midfielders: Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Wataro, Jones & Elliot. Next cabs off that rank were Bajcetic and Morton who both look out the door. By minutes played last year Clark was next. Gone. We have two extra Champions League games before Christmas this season too, no? Very concerning stuff! Meanwhile Hughes is playing 4D chess signing a #1 goalkeeper and loaning him out when we have two perfectly cromulent goalkeepers with good age profiles.

If Morton, Bajcetic and McConnell get loaned out. Nyoni, Corness and Balagizi are next in line after the 6 mids you mentioned.

Ah well, not like we have had a few injury crisis seasons recently. Probably won't be a problem.

 

[Lefti93]

Good luck Stef, but would've kept him around.

 

[Jars458]

Perhaps the loans can be recalled if injuries strike.

This is something. Football is a great isn't it? I wish this man could go to Anfield. I hope he can just watch the games in peace soon.

Love the presenter's BBC cadence too by the way.

Usually can be, especially over January, but often it’s done because they aren’t playing at their loan club.

He played 1 game for us last year so I get it, but it feels we are at least one quality mid and another depth mid short. Milner still going strong, we should get him back!

 

[Cooldude]

**** Israel

Also looks like Chiesa's gonna get done

I feel the same however in Arne we trust.
