lluubbeenn 188 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I really don't rate any player, who is even remotely on the market(realistic) and can come and improve us. There are a lot of gambles out there, but no sure things. Especially after the Caicedo debut I am reluctant to recommend a sub 25yo player. I would bet on the current squad until January. There are soo many new players we really cant analyze where exactly should we improve. Another GK is a must this window though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally I was against getting him because he is extremely lazy defensively, but his creativity is not really in doubt. If we played Caicedo + Lavia behind Enzo, Cherki as the RAM and Sterling LAM that would be a better balance of creativity/dribbling. Maybe the defensive output of Lavia+Caicedo cancels out his lack of work ethic... My gut still says don't buy lazy players though, or people that don't score when our whole CM group are not goal scorers. Cherki - another player with flair, but no real output in terms of goals or assists. We have enough of those. Might as well resign Felix then.

Pizy 19,249 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Yeah, as much as I like Cherki and wouldn’t say no to him if the club targeted him, he really isn’t what we need now. If the plan is to have a rock solid midfield 3 of Enzo, Caicedo, and Lavia then there isn’t really a place for a traditional #10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no one in our squad like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Lyon this season against Strasbourg they are horrible, and last night another horrid display by the look of result and stats - both loses. Barcola and Cherki couldn't do shit. 7 minutes ago, MoroccanBlue said: That's a great shout. Yeah, I'm thinking guy is having 58 goals and 34 assists last 3 seasons predominantly as a winger. 25 years old doing it constantly for years. Players for Portugal could be hit and miss but there is a similarity with Bruno who was doing the same for Sporting for years and left for United at best age and continue to deliver in terms of numbers. Pedro just extended the contract this could be problem tho but definitely have more sense than any winger we bought or are linked.

Think its less of a risk given wingers from Portugal tend to do well in the Premier League. Jota, Diaz, Neto, etc. Looks like he has a 68m buy out clause. I'd also throw in Simon Banza as the ST depth as well. Edited August 21, 2023 by MoroccanBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 19,249 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Didn’t Bruno Fernandes put up monster numbers at Sporting as well? He translated well to the PL as much as I hate the prick. So perhaps this Goncalves dude is worth a punt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penogun is shit. Plus can’t finance Arsenal like we do Brighton . Have to draw a line somewhere with bankrolling soulless clubs. would rather take Greenwood on a free but not sure how that would look PR-wise. Maybe can spin it as like everyone deserves a second chance and we would have another money Mase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Armour 4,710 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Not interested in having Balogun here, But what kind of striker is he? Would he play off Jackson or play instead of him?

I mean he has been acquitted by looks of it I think but doesn’t mean he’s innocent. Voice clips were pretty damning. Boehly made some stupid decisions but this would be one of the daftest things to do if he ok’d such a move.

Strike 7,761 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I dont think the club should sign an attacker for 'goals'. Keep buying players who fit the system, who run and press well, and the goals will eventually come. Last thing we need is another 'goalscoring' signing that will compromise the system-based players we have Fernando and Norfolkblue1961 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
