Mole_Toonfan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We could and should do better than him in the top flight. Would not buy. If he's going to be first choice i agree but i wouldn't see the harm in signing and one another to go with Richie. Would be a useful rotation player IMO.

Pilko Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 £6m in today's market is good value IMO. We will need a squad and he'd be a decent part of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammys_Tekkers Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I think he's worth signing. Would be a decent option to have, but wouldn't particularly want him starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Most of the season I would've said no, but he's finished it well. £6m seems alright if Rafa has the faith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 £6m in today's market is good value IMO. We will need a squad and he'd be a decent part of that. it's fuck all and we can't sign hundreds of wingers. Whatever Rafa decides I'm in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 £6m in today's market is good value IMO. We will need a squad and he'd be a decent part of that. Spot on. He's no world beater, but neither are we right now. For a newly promoted club he'd be a decent signing. Wouldn't lose any sleep either way, but I think we could do worse for that price.

Kanj Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Agree 100%, sign him up. Not first choice in the PL but perfect squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 That's a smashing free kick like. I think we can do better though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Best free-kick we've scored since Cabaye vs. Man U? Shelvey's vs Brighton at home was a peach. Stockdale barely moved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Best free-kick we've scored since Cabaye vs. Man U? Shelvey's vs Brighton at home was a peach. Stockdale barely moved. Gayle scored a tidy freekick earlier in the year as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Best free-kick we've scored since Cabaye vs. Man U? Shelvey's vs Brighton at home was a peach. Stockdale barely moved. Gayle vs Reading for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'd sign him, I think he's got more to offer than we've seen from him. I think he'd do much better if we had Gayle running into space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I like him when he finds those little pockets of space inside. He's really not a traditional winger at all. I was saying this in the match thread, he was running into some great positions then not getting the delivery in. But he's scored two cracking goals in the last two games, at his age he would probably be worth a gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Would be decent as third choice with Gouffran starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We can definitely do better but he'd be adequate as squad backup. I'd take him as a 4th choice winger. He's useful in the sense that he has a turn of pace and can beat a player - we're going to be playing a lot of counter next year, I imagine, so he'd certainly have his place. Scored a decent return considering his playing time too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I think he's a confidence player. Seemed to play with a lot of freedom tonight and was expressing himself a lot more than he has been. The freekick was a beaut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Yep, keep him. Best freekick I've seen for us, just for the pure swagger of it. Beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 People say we can do better, but I doubt it (6m for an ok backup winger). If we had a much more offensive LB providing tons of forward runs and width then I think Atsu could be more effective if allowed to drift inwards a bit more often. We have a few areas to spend cash on and I'm not sure we can afford to spend tons on squad players. Put the money on a proper starting LW and other positions first.

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I can't see us paying that for a backupwinger like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Great goal, not good enough to be a PL starter; he physically not up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I can't see us paying that for a backupwinger like. So you think we'll start next season with only two wingers in our squad? Ritchie and a new LW? I'm not including Aarons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 We'll be signing 2 wingers in the summer imo. + the new signing that is aarons before he breaks down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Wouldn't be against retaining him, like. Him, Perez, Lascelles, Yedlin, Hayden - all the young players who've shown flashes (at the very least) this year... if all five of them happen to just click at the same time, there's five potentially really decent players there. Hayden and Perez being the ones most likely to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
