We don’t want a make shift CM isn’t that the whole point? If we need a cm get a cm not a jack of all trades master of none. We may as well buy to more wingers and stick them in the Left and Right back positions, tired of make shift positions, noni has to go mudryk is as good as gone nkunku needs to go KDH will do as a squad player, even Neto seems a bad buy as this point and sancho has shown moments but he’s not playing at a level where you can genuinely say he starts every game! Jackson needs time he’s not ready to lead a line yet, enzo and caicedo are good lavia needs to stay fit, gusto and James are good right back options cuca needs a decent cover, colwil is fine but he’s needs a very good CB next to him to push him on and our keeper needs changing all in all we need 1 ST 2 wingers 1 CM 1 LB 1 CB 2 GKs personally I would fuck no I off start palmer on the right and Felix in the middle and see how it goes Edited February 2 by YorkshireBlue mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough to finish top 5, we showed at the start we can play well, dip in form happens but we can come back, what we need this window is to buy a player that we can switch up our attack if needed, we bring on nkunku atm and we are dead up top, sancho and Neto sub other nothing different, again we need to try Felix in a 10 with palmer as a RW given a free role to roam, hopefully the two young lads coming in next season frees us up to spend big were we need to, but I feel the two lads won’t be here long Edited February 2 by YorkshireBlue mkh and TheHulk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,940 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I legit laughed out loud at that Fabrizio tweet linking us with some random kid from City’s youth team. You literally couldn’t make it up. 🤣🤣🤣 We badly need an experienced, ready made midfielder as cover in case Caicedo or Enzo get injured or just as rotation to play lots of minutes. So we target another child that’s nowhere near ready to come into a team like ours and meaningfully contribute. This board is a joke. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,147 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 On 21/11/2024 at 21:30, Vesper said: The future of English football https://www.scoutednotebook.com/i/151949621/the-future-of-english-football On Tuesday, I had a little bit of free time to do something I love to do – watch youth football. Belgium against England in the first round of UEFA U-19 EURO qualifiers was on the agenda, and there was a stream provided by the Bulgaria FA (they hosted the mini-tournament of qualifiers) that thankfully wasn’t quite as patchy as the Plovdiv pitch they were playing on. Onto the standouts. The very obvious one was Chelsea’s Josh Acheampong. You couldn’t miss him and his giraffe-sized frame; he loomed over pretty much everyone on the pitch, literally head and shoulders above the rest. The first half showcased why he’s already played senior minutes at club level – making his debut at the back-end of last season, before adding a couple more appearances in this – as he did a lot of impressive centre-back things. His athleticism is perhaps the feature of his game. Despite being a gangly kind of tall, he covered ground with a smoothness that caught the eye immediately. His long legs were really useful to win the ball back, he can extend them into places few can, while he also had neat footwork and a spry agility in tighter situations. His height was a natural advantage in aerial duels, obviously, but the technique and timing of his contests were the factors that saw him win every long ball over Belgium’s similarly-sized centre-forward Kaye Furo. Acheampong was a different level of talent to most on the pitch. You could see how his profile could scale up to the highest standard of senior football pretty easily. But he’s currently locked out at Chelsea, ostracised from the senior and U-21 teams until he commits his future to the club, with a number of domestic rivals and big-time European clubs circling. Another was Myles Lewis-Skelly of Arsenal. He was the most ‘senior-ready’ player on the pitch by a significant margin, in my opinion. Everything about him – the compactness of athleticism, robustness of physicality, assuredness of decisions – set him apart at U-19 level. He was playing as a left-back in this game, a role which he’s been earmarked for at Arsenal and now England. It’s a role that suits his skillset to a tee: he’s left-footed and a really mobile mover with solid one-v-one defending, acute talent as a line-splitting passer, and a trademark ability to carry the ball out of pressure, through contact and up the pitch. All of those traits were on show in Plovdiv. What I particularly love about MLS is the way he uses his body. It’s an exceptional trait of his, and to be so skilled at it at his age is very rare – trust me, I watch a lot of youth football. He got the upper-hand in defensive situations time and time again by levering his body between ball and man, winning more or less every duel as a result. His ball security was taken up a notch by his propensity to feel for contact when taking a touch. Defenders struggled to contain him when he bumped through them with the ball at his feet. He made it all look easy. Another point of difference that underlined the 18-year-old’s readiness for the higher levels was the way he grew into the game. While others faded, he got better. Belgium’s intensity waned, meaning he had more time (and freedom) to get on the ball, finding those angled passes more and more, while his dribbles started to eliminate two or three defenders, not just the one. My takeaway from this game? I want to see more MLS in the Premier League. He would be a regular already in Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, maybe even LaLiga and Serie A. The Premier League is different, but Lewis-Skelly is ready for more opportunities and responsibilities. Have England finally developed a Spanish-spec midfielder? And finally, a few words for Kiano Dyer. Every year the discourse inevitably rolls around to the ‘why can’t England develop midfielders like Spain?’ but they have a Spanish-spec midfielder in the Chelsea prospect. The deepest of England’s midfield three, Dyer created that triangle with the centre-backs to help build play from the back. He’s of a smaller stature with a slight frame but makes up for it with a razor-sharp mobility. He flashes across five yards, cuts through pressure, and lasers into space. That flash-cut-laser style was characteristic of his passing too – he was great at spotting and executing little 10-yarders that fed team-mates inside Belgium’s block. They’re the sort of passes someone like Martín Zubimendi does. He struggled to find a groove with his long-range distribution, overhitting switches to the left wing primarily, and was blindsided by Belgian pressure a couple of times, but that can happen. I’ve watched him before and those haven’t been particular issues. Everyone has an off day. But Dyer is good with the potential to be really good. And really good in a different way to the English norm. The pathway at Chelsea is a precarious one with their compulsive buying disorder, so it remains to be see how he develops there, but he’ll find an alternative route as easily as he slips pressure. And a final fun fact: Kiano is the son of Lloyd Dyer, the former Leicester City winger. I hope that makes you feel old. Yes, @Vesper. Credit given. You are spot on. MLS is a star in the making. He looks like he has been playing that role for ages. He is the real deal and I think he is good enough to play LB for England already. What a performance today. Interesting that they bought Calafiori who was bought as the main LB but currently MLS is the main guy there. Good conundrum for them to have anyway. Don't like Arsenal but they have two top class talents in Nwaneri and MLS. 17 and 18. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
