mighty__mag Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Looking back now, Ekitike not signing did us a huge favour, I personally don't think we would have signed Isak otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 7 goals for Maguire in 57 games for England, 6 in competitive matches. Kieran Trippier took about half a season to score more goals for us than he ever did with Spurs. Sometimes you have to blame the environment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 A fit DCL, Ekitike and Danjuma would probably score enough not to be in a relegation battle. I know that a fit DCL is more of a myth than reality these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth bearing in mind Howe was really keen on him as well. PSG was always going to be a harder proving ground for someone so raw, and right now, we've probably moved beyond him also.

He only has 4 PL goals for Man Utd in over 100 games. Thinking West Ham as a team in general being really dangerous from set pieces. Ward-Prowse and Maguire will only add to the threat they already have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Everton is the club to get someone on the straight and narrow so could be a disaster. I actually disagree, psg dressing room must be a nightmare and loads of internal politics. Going to dyche won't work for everyone but could be a breath of fresh air for a young player. Or could just get kicked in training and bollocked whether tries any skill so we shall see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I saw him play maybe five or six times last season for PSG, personally thought he looked like a very good player with loads of areas to focus on for improvement. He clearly would have been perfect here but he doesn’t have Isak’s talent or mentality. Couldn’t care less where he goes but wherever he goes I hope we end up trouncing them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Best career rebuilds? Sigurdsson is an example of a player who didn't make the impact expected of him when he went up a level. Looked a surplus at Spurs but then went back to Swansea and became a good player again. Can't really think of other players who did the same. Maybe Lukaku at Man U? Was underwhelming in that system but thrived in Inter's. Memphis Depay. Thauvin maybe? Forlan was an unexpected career turnaround. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Chuba Akpom has had a roller coaster of a career 28 goals in the Champo last season. Emi Martinez from Arsenal 2nd keeper to World Cup, Copa America, FA Cup winner in two years. Looks on track to be Villa's all time clean sheet holder. Gnabry's success is something I never imagined.
