Mansour Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 That is unfortunate. Young, can play on either side, cheap, most importantly though is that he is brilliant offensively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Hickey would seem to be the ideal buy for us but Arsenal can offer so much more for him right now, maybe not financially but they'd be, rightly, in pole position for him. Right player, just 3 years too early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Don’t blame Hickey jumping at the chance to go to a club like Arsenal, but bit of a risk from a playing time perspective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t work out imo He's slight but I think he's pretty strong when he has the ball with the low centre of gravity. A player like him is only as good as the players around him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 De Jong is quality, I think he'll do really well in the PL especially with Ten Hag as coach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The original source (Gerard Romero) doesn't have a great record, so not really sure on that one. I'd rather £60m on De Jong than £120m on Rice though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is on a whole different level to what we're used to. And if we really did negotiate the price down to less than 20m euros, then I am even more impressed.

For about 10 years now we've needed a DM. Gerrard's way of playing needs a good one. Nakamba is actually decent and against Liverpool, while he was on the pitch, we looked so much better. That's the key position for us to fill. Then I am also of the opinion Mings carries too much clanger-factor and Konsa seems to have gone to pieces. Two CBs, a DM and a striker at the very least.

Maybe because his hunger might not last long, we’ll see. Good signing on paper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Great deal for you Brummie. I've enjoyed watching Buendia gradually find his feet with yous, be interesting to see if Gerrard can get him and Coutinho in the same team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
