Hopefully a shrewd piece of business when we sell him for 30million with add ons...

 

Joking aside, I think we will see this lad in bounce games and the B team before he gets pitched into the first XI.

Yeah agree, he'll probably play for B Team first. I've no issue purchasing project players but not at the expense of strengthening 1st team.

Guardiola famously rarely played Fernandinho for his first 6 months at City to allow him to adjust to demands at the club.

 

That's a grandiose example but it rings true, tactically Igamane will be learning things he's probably never heard of before. With all due respect to North African football.

 

Not to mention the physical demands.

 

Clement was burnt by players breaking down last season, you'd kill the kid by firing him in straight off the bat.

All well and good, but we need players who'll immediately improve our 1st team. Those players should have been the priority this window.

 

Said above no problem with project players but we need quality and need it yesterday.

Going by what we have seen of the transfer window so far I don't think we cannot afford players who will immediately improve our first team.

No great surprise. Early games in the League cup games are usually poorly attended at the best of times. Throw in the current mood surrounding our team and the Hampdump factor, I won't be surprised by a poor turn out.

I thought we had 10,000 people waiting desperately to get tickets for home games 🙂

 

Currently at Hampden it's me, the wee man and the UBs and not many others 😒😉

No problem with project players until it comes to actually developing them you mean?

But you criticise me for moaning about Dessers.  Do you not think Dessers is good enough to lead the line?

No, never said that.

 

Bassey is a great and obvious example. Bit he cost very little and was given time to mature. He was terrible on his debut but we all know what happened next.

At the moment, yes he's better than Danilo.and Igamane that for sure. There is no argument there. 

 

Going forward, no he isn't but given our financial state how are we replacing 20+ goals a season and a player who plays the majority of games?

Danilo has some set of teeth!  🤣
