Longstaff can play number 6. Or we could switch to a 4231 and play double pivot.
-
Would be unbelievable business. Younger, better and less wages. Ashworth masterclass.
-
Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff, Willock + 1 more. Also worth bearing in mind that Isak and Gordon can play number 10.
-
Tielemans is a great shout. Test Leicester.
-
Ah. When I said "at this level" I meant top 6, not PL.
-
Fair point but I'd argue he doesn't fit our system, even at his best. He's also 30, had two injuries and 6 months way from his contract running out.
-
He was OK back end of last year but this season when he came back in he looked miles off it. He's also had two semi-serious injuries at the age of 30. For a team in the PL with the highest pressing stats, Shelvey is pretty much the last player who fits our system.
-
Wonder what Forest will give us for 6 month? 5m?
-
Nowhere near up to the running requirements in our current midfield. Looked awful against Palace. I agree that he's up a bottom half PL standard.
-
We aren't signing Maddison FFS.
-
Even if he's fit, he's completely gone as a footballer at this level. Great vision and passing but he just can't run anymore. If forest offer us any decent fee, we let him go and save on a shit ton of wages. Patch the position up with a loan until May.
-
Reminds me of when we all blamed Carroll for leaving for Liverpool. The reality is that Everton is no place for a footballer with any ambition.
-
Blocked but apparently Edwards says Forest are in for Shelvey? Would make Gallagher a good move at this point.
-
His physicality is clearly a big factor, him, Almiron and Isak is some fucking pace. He's also 6ft, which means he's going to be no pushover. I'm calling an assist or goal in his first game.
-
In terms of workrate, he will be similar to Almiron. He's not going to be a skillfull winger like ASM but he can weave and turn and has a quick burst of pace. He will contribute a few goals by winning possession high up the pitch.
-
I expect to see Darlow, Fraser and possibly Manquillo leave. Other than that, we couldn't pay for Ritchie/Dummett to leave.
-
Gallagher on a loan with an option would suit everyone. Gallagher gets to see if he likes it "up north". We get to see if he's good enough. Chelsea get a permanent sale at the end of it and probably a decent fee. Worst case scenario, Chelsea can flog him elsewhere in the summer.
-
Thought it was the other way, that Gordon went in for the hug.
-
He's got that underlying "I'm a bit of a cunt" feel to him too. Buzzing for his debut.
-
Mate. Big clubs have versatile players. We could hoy him number 10 too if we wanted. Such a professional outfit now.
-
That's world class from Mitoma.
