Aarón Anselmino

Reckon we have only 1 international loan spot remaining after recalling Fofana. I don’t like how we have behaved here, we have screwed Dortmund over so late in the window for no reason. He was actually getting games when fit, even played at the weekend right after getting fit. I would think a club like Dortmund renowned for developing players would be one we would want to maintain a solid relationship with.
f**k Dortmund. Always want everything for free then expect top dollar for their bang average players.

 
Why are we recalling him? We have 6 CB's that are fit already. We don't need 7 CB's of similar quality.
Excuse is “injury crisis” but GarnachoChelsea is onto something about loaning him to Strasbourg and recalling Sarr.

Is Sarr a significant upgrade on what we already have? This will also still leave us with 7 CB's. If Tosin is out for a while, then that is still 6, it's hardly an injury crisis. Chalobah, Acheampong, Badiashile, Fofana. Hato as backup and Disasi if things get desperate. Unless somebody is a lot better than the players we already have, then I just don't see the point recalling anybody.

 
I think the idea of bringing back Anselmino and Datro Fofana may be to do with freeing up loan slots so we can send others ( or them ) out and or sell or loan others out. There seems to be a desire to shuffle the CB pack both on the pitch and on the squad list. I think we are looking for Gold.

Not really. Promising but still untested in the Premier League & its intensity.

I will say though he should 100% be in the squad next season over Tosin.

Agree with that assessment. But in that case why bring him in now and not just wait until the summer? He would get a lot more playing time staying with Strasbourg.

Yeah from any logical analysis, our back line needs experienced quality and an aerial presence.

Recalling Sarr/Anselmino does nothing.

 
Shakes the footballing world.

Recalled a player that had a specific clause we could recall them at any point, which Dortmund agreed to.

What surprises me is that despite the lack of top quality of our existing CDs we have the 4th joint best defensive record in the PL and 5th in the CL.

 
Desperate times call for desperate measures ... and the quest for a successful Argentinian signing continues with Aaron Anselmino !

From Anselmino side I don't like the recall unless he does go to Strasbourg and kills it there. Being back here to be a reserve is no help to him at all.

Dortmund wise I agree with RIP on, they have screwed us around many times. Carney being a big one.

Pfft, drama queens. I'll tell you something astonishing, signing Gittens for £50m.
Well signing Gittens was a choice, and we were the only one interested in him. That is on our amazing SDs

 
World Football right now is not in a great state.

That being said, for all his faults Sanchez is a big reason why we've been pretty decent defensively, despite his bozo moments.
A real sh*t show. You look around and bar Yamal and Raphinha there are no quality wingers in the game. Then you have the No 9 arms race that went on last summer, and all of them have been busts.
