Not that I think we should be busting a nut to bring in a ton, but all v quiet this evening for transfer deadline day... Are the club just better at keeping it under wraps? Or is our business done? It's not deadline day for us. The domestic window doesn't shut till the 16th. Link to post Share on other sites

He used Waldo Ponce as a dominant central defender and slotted two quick defensive-minded midfielders either side of him in Gonzalo Jara and Gary Medel." Didn't Germany wallop Argentina at that world cup though? Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,210 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Do you think we're having trouble convincing Roberts that he'll do well for us as a wing back? Link to post Share on other sites
SmogMonster7 47 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Maybe the 'hole' he is going to be playing in isn't the hole he first thought.. Link to post Share on other sites

Argentina won their first 4 games then got beat by Germany, that obviously means the system they played was wrong. My mistake. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just saying they got battered against a good side with that same way of playing. I doubt it makes any difference to us either way. Link to post Share on other sites

If we were trying to get someone else in from abroad then that would need to be done tonight but I suppose Roberts can be concluded whenever. Link to post Share on other sites
