Noodles Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Players from Scotland rarely do well. Arteta and Larsson stick out but I can't think of many more. It's like signing from league one or championship at best. David Weir and of course Steven Naismith. Reno Gattuso surely gets an honourable mention. Wasn't he just on loan at rangers though?

Willow Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Although I'm not expecting any more signings, Raphael Guerreiro looks immense, he looks like a really exciting pacy wingback who loves to bomb forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Apparently moved up to play left wing last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Apparently moved up to play left wing last season. Aye. He mostly played as a LW last season. Continued in that position this season too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Sounds like he's too lightweight to play LB in the premier league*, we don't need another Shane Ferguson. Unless he's a left midfielder in the mould of Jeremy Mathieu *I've never seen him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 IKON - Guerreiro or Willems? IF i knew that we're going to sign Willems in january then i think i would be prepared to wait. I desperately think we do need one now though, and i was impressed with Guerreiro in the Euros i must say. Naah wait for Willems for me like A little bit stronger from what i've seen of them, and that left foot with Mitro/Gini/SDJ in the box... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Willems is still injured right? A January move would be awesome. Would be interesting to see how Haidarra and Dummett have managed leading up to January too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Could see us settling with the current two LBs this season then going for Willems next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Love the Willems obsession on here, almost like the mackems with N'Zogbia a few years ago. I hate wanting to sign a skillful young left back who has a hell of a cross. is on the heels of the national side and is close friends with our marquee summer signing, like. To be fair to others it's mostly me and Kanji It's def lead by you and me and I couldn't care less. I'd sign a few PSV players too just so Unbelievable could enjoy this club again, the love racist b******. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Newcastle had been linked with a move for Wolves striker Benik Afobe but McClaren said there was nothing in those rumours and added he is happy with his strikers. Asked whether he needed to add to that department, he replied: “No, not really. “I am happy with that. “Papiss will always score goals. “Mitrovic has to get used to the Premier League – he is doing that. “I thought he was excellent at Old Trafford, grew into the game; Ayoze played up front in midweek on his own. “We have got Riviere, who is coming back from injury, so we have enough in that position.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Even though Ayoze is wasted as a lone striker, I doubt many other teams have a better third choice there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
