Gone Elsewhere Viktor Johansson

[Slim Man]

If SUFC dont want him then I dont want him!

What are your thoughts on Benie Traore, I’ve Grbic, Anis Slimane, Auston Trusty and Yasser Larouchi?

 

[alcoblade]

Bereton Diaz is hardly foreign

He only hates “fully foreign” then? Grbic is a good old Yorkshire name too.

As far as I’m aware he’s made 3 signings this time around, two of which are foreign (one maybe not foreign enough ). It hardly supports the idea that he won’t sign foreigners.

 

[BobblesBlade]

Like Bereton Diaz? Or Grbic?

Diaz is from Stoke. Grbic wasn’t a wilder signing.

Just wait until Hamer, Souza and Anel are sold. Slimani, larouci and Traore will be gone as well.

Together with all those foreigners we’ve just released too!

Ah, so he lets others sign the foreign players he doesn’t like. It all makes sense now.

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

Yes. I invented counting

Drop the ‘o’ in counting, and you would be spot on.

[designedbyross]

Slap a gone elsewhere on it

 

[TJ blade]

Ward is better than Grbic but not as good as Wes.. if it is Ward our planning is dog shit.

I've got 2 arthritic knees mate, and I think I'm better than Grbic

Wait, teams are signing players before the playoff final has even been played at not waiting til the end of August?

 

[BobblesBlade]

Let’s wait for the start of the new season then.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

Let's close this one down.

A player most of us hadn't seen, the club didn't want, and we are now upset that he's gone elsewhere.

I hope to Christ we will be signing a new goalkeeper though, next season the choice will be between Grbic and Davies

Davies out of contract as well I think so right now it’s be Grbic or Faxon

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

That's one problem solved then.

Is Faxon any good?

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Yes. I invented counting

Did you count how many years that Arblaster signed for?

 

[EddieColquhoun]

That's one problem solved then.

Is Faxon any good?

From my limited viewing, he looks it.

 

[Carlton Blade]

That isn't on a deal that would cripple a club with no money and he'll most likely be sold before Y3, or United will go back up and the whole financial clock resets.

United, unless the current owner sells or finds money to put in won't have the money to fund a Championship wage bill without parachute payments

 

[Yogi]

Is Faxon any good?

He’s very good on the ball and confident to the point of being slightly reckless at times which you probably need to be a keeper. He’s shown that he’s a good instinctive shot stopper and he can get down low well as well.

He’s very young though and like all young keepers will probably make quite a few mistakes once he starts playing at senior level. Also he’ll take time to adapt to the jump up in quality and physicality especially when having to command his area and things like that.

We probably need 2 senior keepers this summer. Just from a development point of view if you’re reliant on Faxon to be your cover for the first team keeper it limits what you can do with him from a development point of view.

 

[The Crab]

Wonder if it's the same people who watched Grbic?

You men these guys?

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Well this screws up the clubs usual excuses for why we don't players early in the window. Fair play to Stoke for moving quick. I have zero faith in this Mickey Mouse football club or Wilder in getting business done early when it comes to free signings. The thing that annoys me more is when our fans make excuses and accept the failure and exaggerate to back up their argument.

"We don't need new signings, we've got the best squad in the league and in Hamer and Arblaster, two best midfielders outside the Premier League. When McBurnie re-signs he will bag a hat full this season (11 was his tally for league goals last time, but who needs logic).

 

[The Crab]

If you were a manager of a football team, would you be happy with the club signing players you don't want?

If they don’t want him because they don’t rate him, or are perusing other options, fair enough. If it’s because we can’t afford the deal (for example) then I can understand people’s concerns.

What I find strange is that Grbic is apparently a UW signing. He’s clearly not good enough, this is backed up by opinions from fans of Athletico and the team he’s been on loan at. My concern is that Grbic was “scouted” when a quick google search would have put the kybosh on it

 

[mattbianco1]

45 games 0 goals. We need to aim higher anyway

 

[Bladeloyal]

Bereton Diaz is hardly foreign

He's from stoke ,that's foreign enough

 

[Surrey Blade]

How on earth are we being outmuscled by Stoke

The huge wealth of the owner may be a factor!!

 

[alcoblade]

Let’s wait for the start of the new season then.

I thought this was a joke but I fear you’re actually being serious. Are you genuinely arguing that Wilder doesn’t like foreign players, because they’re foreign?

Of course not dipshit.

You backtracking on only 2 year contracts now?
