Sicario2 A bit annoyed at that tbh, our squad numbers are all screwed up. Too many big players in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and this young squad player walks in and gets in 3?
declan wanted 41 and MLS wanted to keep 49 for obvious reasons. i'm sure they asked timber if he wanted to switch numbers when it was known that tierney was leaving. 5 and 3 were available for zubi and he chose 36.
I'm just annoyed that Gabriel Jesus is blocking #9 for Gyökeres.
Finally after all these years, we sign a proper striker and someone that is allergic to taking shots is wearing #9 to his rehab.
est maybe it’s a good thing as that bloody number 9 shirt is cursed
Can't they just strip Jesus, and tell us he "offered" it up? He's all about sacrifice isn't he?
£13m is crazy cheap.
Dude looks all business
Football transfer fees seem to be completely random and in no way related to the player's quality.
est There's definitely these data-driven formulae in the industry that we as fans aren't privy to.

Think he had a year left. It's getting to the end of the window and he can sign for us for free in 6 months and Valencia can't afford to lose him for free.
I think it's just a very uneven negotiation.
CPM think it's more vibes, honestly
Tremendous signing.
Welcome buddy
Perfect physique. Powerful, lean, and bendy.
Happy with this. Young with potential and replaces Tomi. Also should allow us to manage Timber and White without either of them having to fill in at CB.
Also should settle well considering the Spanish contingent we now have.
Welcome. Not seen anything of him so hope he's good. Would be a concern if those reports the other day of him failing the medical that Califiori and Tomiyasu got through were true but that was probably nonsense. Hopefully better than Holding if called on for a title run in.
invisibleman18 if he failed the signing wouldn't we just cancel the transfer? Thats what the medical is for.
Brilliant squad signing this. Cheap and 21 years old with elite potential.
Smack bang at the low end of the "Saliba" category. He looks capable of sitting on our bench already, and in a few years we can flip him if he doesn't break into our XI.
Qwiss Would have thought so, but then again even Tomiyasu and Califiori got through. There was some report the other day of a delay to the signing due to a failed medical but it was probably just bollocks.
