Darwin - the evolution of a transfer

[Dreambeliever]

no such thing in a darwin thread

Course there is, but like Nunez himself, it doesn’t mean the joke landed or hit its intended target.

Faaaaaaaaack!

Momo was right.

It's not market or a scenario where we can be stubborn over his price until the end of the window. The club need to keep Napolli engaged. We're not spoilt for choice of suitors and we need two nines to come in, or at least a nine and an adaptable attacker. Having the time to get that done and then integrated during pre season is every bit as important as the fee.

 

[Hansern]

The thing is it’s De Laurentis handling the negotiations himself. It’s a mess. Just look at the Oshimen to Gala stuff where he’s also the main man.

Better to move on to other clubs, if there are any.

Napoli were never serious.

I think they were but on their terms

 

[Judge Jules]

Italian clubs innit. I had hopes but absolutely no expectations about this.

 

[Modo]

They were banking on us being desperate.

Maybe they could focus on making a bloody offer then…

 

[Bradley]

Is there anything to be said for him staying and stepping up?

Wirtz feeding him and the circumstances around Jota causing some kind of maturity and opportunity.

I realise this is looking for a miracle.

 

[Judge Jules]

I've known one or two cases of clubs trying and failing to sell players who have then had another opportunity and grabbed it with both hands.

Only in Xpert Eleven though.

Hendo?

Exactly, so never serious. They'll come in and go 20m with 20m in add-ons and then be surprised when we go no.

It's the same for all Italian clubs. Never buy Italians and never sell to Italians.

 

[Judge Jules]

Hendo?

Yes to an extent, but Brodgers and his regime were already losing credibility by that time.

Danny Murphy?

It is extremely optimistic, but am leaning this way. His has proven to be an occasional game winner. It is strange that it never seems to build confidence and let him go on a streak, but is constant running could open up space for Wirtz late in games.

 

[Hansern]

No, we should sell him this summer. Doesn’t suit the team and he’s not good enough. We need that change upfront this summer.

Only if we can actually find two strikers, including one at less cost that Darwin. I do not feel strongly about this, but I am leaning slightly this way. If we got one good striker in, I would be satisfied.

 

[Markeh]

it has taken a tragic act of god for us to start discussing keeping darwin next season

Wirtz can feed him all he likes, he doesn't know the offside law and he can't hit a barn door.

 

[jan]

As if not getting enough service was the issue with him

 

[Bradley]

To be clear, I'm not advocating for this.

Unless he starts performing in an outstanding way in training and preseason before revealing that he was visited by the spirit of Jota and suddenly has his instinct.

 

[Squiggles]

I typed out a long post but then I realised a) it's too hot to read paragraphs and b) all it said was we need to sell the useless cunt donkey for whatever we can and as soon as possible.
