fensaddler Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 1 minute ago, neio said: If Galloway is out for a period of time, we may need to look into bringing a replacement defender in. As with Windbichler always being injured we only have 4 senior ones available If we can, it would be good to find someone who can play across a couple of positions in back 4 and is comfortable doing so. Sort of like what Manny Muscat used to do Only competently, we hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rass Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 One thing I enjoy doing is getting on Transfermarkt and finding players who we could possibly sign-up - without knowing a single thing about them in the first place. Helps pass my day... So I notice there's a couple of free Kazakhstan players with high values. They seem quite young and their values are on the rise. Anyone know anything about them at all?

However, Gaitan now appears to have sealed a move back to his homeland with Boca Juniors. Speaking to the publication, Record, Vice-President Christian Gribaudo confirmed the club has indeed signed the attacking midfielder. “I can confirm that we have a deal with Nico Gaitán, a club-trained player and our DNA. I am very happy to be able to say that he will be our player from January,” Gribaudo said. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.sheffieldunited.news/news/sheffield-united-ousted-by-boca-in-pursuit-of-nicolas-gaitan/amp/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rass Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm not one to usually bag our scouting, but it does frustrate me a little how a team in the position that Phoenix were in (still are despite their results lately) can pick up a player like Duvila, who was in Chelsea's squad a few years back. .... and we're still fluffing around trying to unearth a decent player for this league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just proves to me that it’s so tricky to nail these foreigners. Is our hit rate really that much worse than others? Just frustrating that our hits were two defenders and a winger and a striker that we didn’t keep for off field reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
