Well it would be ruida not to

[binomial]

This is my problem though. He's not played much this month so isn't considered good enough and yet we want him. Even on loan it sounds bottom of the barrel.

How do you know the reasons he hasn't played the last 2 games wasn't due to us being in talks to take him? We're not going to know more than Sunderland fans on how well he's done and they're pretty annoyed with this.

& It's deadline day tomorrow in the winter window, of course it's only going to be short term options.

That’s the current deal Sunderland have. We wait to see what is being haggled

Sounded like the same deal according to the German journos

I’m surprised so many are negative at getting in a versatile loan player who will improve us defensively.

At the most base level he's a body in the door that 1) means szob isn't played at RB, and 2) gives Gomez a chance to manage his minutes

Even if he's a bit shite, we know slot trusts him so he will play

 

[Markeh]

this is great, he’s a rb, cb and dm all in one. he might even need to play all those positions at the same time at this rate

Me too…he’s your archetypal sound defensive utility squad option at a good age…and crucially Slot trusts him - which in a bench / squad managed by Slot means a hell of a lot.

Looks like a deal is off anyway

just when i’d invested 5 minutes to learn who the hell he is

Apparently beggars CAN be choosers, is what I'm learning.

 

[Farkmaster]

Oh, for fucks sake.

 

[Farkmaster]

It's our classic "look, we tried."

 

[binomial]

Oh well, never wanted him anyway.

We are really joke. Cant wait to see Salah on RB if dominik is injured

 

[Farkmaster]

Gomez being close to a return to fitness also means he's close to an injury. It's like quantum superposition.

 

[Fabio]

Perhaps we needed klopp to get the spreadsheet squad to fucking do anything useful

 

[peekay]

We have nailed the "let us make a move for a player with just enough time left in the window so that the opposition does not have time for a replacement, and we can show that we tried" move.

Credit to Hughes and Edwards - I am feeling both "I am angry that the only player we made a move for is a Sunderland reject" and "I am disappointed at us for not signing him" at the same time. There really was not enough time for the first feeling of anger to transition into the second feeling of disappointment. Well played, sirs!!!!

FFS we couldn’t even sort this one out

 

[Modo]

Looks more like Sunderland couldn't sort it out

Not in time, and I don't blame them, since we couldnt accomplish the very thing they'd be trying to do.

Havent we learned anything from the Guehi debacle?
