Makes sense. I was getting confused when Transfermarkt, whoscored and the Bundesliga website all came up with 0 stats for this season.

Just checked it out there. Meniscus injury. Due back next month, it seems.
he'll fit right in
You said it.
Looks ok but he will be on the bench most of the time. Does he really want that at his age
That is the question. If we are moving more towards a 2 man striker team (which we have with the diamond so far) he could play in front of Kane or in a tandem with Sonny
We need to ditch the diamond but that is another discussion
So instead of Dybala we are going for this guy. I think our manager is losing the plot tbh. His tactics, formations, substitutions, transfer targets.....all confusing
The way he played on Monday vs Bulgaria shows how devastating he can be as a false 9. He's England's most creative player and best scorer, and is probably ours too.
That's actually one of my main worries. To do a Rooney on him.
I don't want him deep. Yes, he can play there, but we should find someone who can fill that role, rather than shunt our best player into the position.
Can't wait to see how this goes down

Luckily his words hardly mean anything these days and they very rarely predict what will actually happen.
If we are or we aren't he always says this. Outrightly saying we're scout and about would put the ball in the seller's court.
It's a fun game the fans get to play
Poch says something and we get determine what he actually meant by saying it.
I could see us sell a few players and not bring in any, honestly.
If we can sell any of the overseas trained players we want to (Wanyama, Aurier) or those whose contracts end in the summer (Alderweireld, Vertonnghen, Eriksen) or even an overseas trained fringe player, then I think we will buy provided we can bring in a player we want.
I think getting rid of overseas trained players is our biggest problem atm.
Tbf, he almost has to say that to keep the current players motivated. Imagine if he said 'I've no faith in the existing clutch of players so I'm going to sign another 6 in TW' and the effect on the current squad.
But imo he'd have been better off saying 'we'll look to see who's available and maybe freshen up the squad with one or two new faces' Its old and hackneyed but would probably go down better with existing players and fans alike and doesn't really commit anyone to anything.
