Alejandro Garnacho - discussion thread

He seems a bit of a twat but a talented player. If he’s UEs latest redemption project, all good with me.

[Dogtanian]

Sounds like it’s done.

[ADVILLAFAN]

And sounds like we are done trading unless we can sell more players.

Although if we can qualify for Champion's League again (may as well just win the thing), then we'd hopefully be sorted from 2027 onwards.

[PaulWinch again]

Where are either of those things said? We surely cannot be done, we are massively in credit spend wise and have some pretty obvious gaps.

[Villafirst]

We still need a LB to replace Digne. Looks like Estupinan to join us at a reported £17m, but this seems a bit protracted?

We were light last season, there is no way we don’t add more. We are a centre mid light with one coming back from serious injury and one out for 9 months, we are a winger light, and have no full back cover.

Indeed, so that’s where I’m interested in where it’s being reported we’re done?

[Bosco81]

About the only thing it guarantees is we won’t be signing Delap, Disasi or Enzo Fernandez this summer.

[TelfordVilla]

This waste of space and money will make sancho look like a hard worker. We certainly like to pour money down the drain on these man utd/Chelsea flops.
No wonder we have SCR problems every year

[Olof's Beard]

This is hugely underwhelming, another pet project to supposedly help cover the gaping hole that our two most creatively important players leave behind. There has to be more, we have sold so much and spent so little over the last couple of years.

My biggest issue with him over someone like Godts from Ajax is he’s probably on 3 or 4 times the wages.

[Percy McCarthy]

Hopefully there will be an explanation on the financial ramifications at some point, as with talk of an obligation to buy, this looks suspiciously like a swap deal.

[django]

Some of the reports have talked about the deal for Rogers being smoothed along by the good relationship between the respective owners. Maybe that makes this thing more likely. If we ended up not being able to get full value from selling Rogers because of some back room chumminess with the owners it would be a massive error.

[Duncan Shaw]

Plus are we risking UEFA scrutiny over it if the obligation terms are too lenient?  It would just be us that deciding to sell our prize asset to solve the SCR issues got diluted because we made a stupid loan deal for an absolute twat!
