Re: January Transfer Window
69 in 230 in LaLiga so 1 in 3.3 - I'm not counting his goals in Turkey because the league is shit

Re: Youssef En-Nesyri
Skeptical about this one. Loan with option is ok though. I’m not bothered about him being 28 because he could play for another 6 years and 26-34 are the prime years for most players. Tosuns highlight reel is pretty good too so I wouldn’t be surprised if he flopped here. Similarly, he seems on the YouTube highlights to thrive on good service so I don’t see how it makes sense.

I'll post the same thing I put in the transfer thread - our scouts are a joke:

And I imagine when you take into account minutes on the pitch it looks better?StirlingBlue wrote: ↑Wed Jan 14, 2026 1:59 pm 69 in 230 in LaLiga so 1 in 3.3 - I'm not counting his goals in Turkey because the league is shit
Re: Youssef En-Nesyri
I'd have questions around what that's based on considering Beto and Barry are both on it and are very different types of player.StirlingBlue wrote: ↑Wed Jan 14, 2026 2:00 pm I'll post the same thing I put in the transfer thread - our scouts are a joke:

The Turkish league is physical - just not in a English football sense of physical
Re: Youssef En-Nesyri
I reckon the 2 missed pens from the 2 current dopes probably was what did it for Moyes.
Re: Youssef En-Nesyri
It’s probably a reflection of how we play more than anything.
A lot of their underlying stats end up looking similar because they’re both getting lots of aimless long balls whacked at them, we’re not creating good chances for them, etc.
