I see we maybe open to selling john aris back to Brazilian football in jan. Move ain't worked out not suited to premier league football too weak on the ball and not aggressive or skilful enough to go past players here. Add some funds for rob to get hackney in maybe

Hackney is a Boro fan I can't see him coming to us unfortuantly.

Just not sure I agree Simon to be honest buddy, not having a go at you because it's just the standard narritve (these days with new signings). But has he not worked out or has he more realistically ONLY just played in the Prem for the first time with a sum total of 10 games after spending his entire career before playing in South America?! Add to that he's been bought into the WORST team we've had under Fosun for £15m and been told to go out and replace a first class, £62m Prem player (Cunha) over night! We all seem to forget that even Cunha was woefully average for his first 10-25 games at the club and that was after paying top whack and him coming from fairly established Euro teams!
As I've said before Arias was the right signing, but as always with Jeff we signed him at the wrong time! The day Cunha signed a 'new contract' we CLEARLY new he was leaving for £62m come the next window so we SHOULD have gone out and signed Arias that (Jan last year) window but he would have likely cost that little bit more (£2-5m).

But what that extra money could have bought us was a player that was possibly ready to play by now/once Cunha left when we CLEARLY needed him!
Arias has had some moments of brilliance and I suspect is still one of the ONLY technically gifted players we have left in this thread bare squad! What should determine if he stays or not is if Rob can get a tune out of him before we can't afford his wages (if/when relegated)! With the squad in its current state and with a new manager currently desperately searching for a miracle (personally) I wouldn't be in a rush to get rid! Let's be honest finicially we are screwed if/when we go down either way so (for me) I wouldn't be so quick to get rid of a techically gifted player who could yet help light the path to Robs small chance of finding said miracle. Just my take obvs ?

Just hope Fosun back rob Edwards and he has a say on what he needs fingers crossed looking forward to the palace game need a result COYW

I agree with Arias comment. He has come from a different league and come into a poor and no confidence team. He was never going to be able to replace Cunha like for like and you would struggle to sign a player who could. If we get a few better players around him and start playing better I believe we will see what we have been told about him.

Cunha first season he was pretty useless and then something clicked and he was unstoppable at times. I hope Rob can install confidence and a style of play quickly and get the players battling. Who knows what players we may loan or sign January but what we do know is we will be linked to about 5 players per day and sign 2 or 3.

In fairness Arias has moved continents, as others say walked into a struggling club with all sorts of issues. Regards the EPL comparison with south American leagues, I suspect Brazilian and Columbian leagues aren't exactly mamby pamby.

Arias is a very good player who will flourish in an attacking minded team. Pereira played such defensive football that it stifled his play. Hopefully, Edwards will play a more expansive game and we'll see the likes of Arias, Jackson and Lopez improve.

Agree there goodwhile, I tend to believe that the players we acquired under VP have been stifled in their styles and a change of pattern will give them the freedom to do their stuff.
All the best to Edwsrds I honesty he's got a hell of a job to perform. Not expecting miracles but if players start enjoying the game again it'll.slowly come.
