Smal Posted November 2, 2025 Share Posted November 2, 2025 (edited) I obviously rate him really highly, but one of our main issues is that we don't play through midfield well at all and Anderson would improve that no end. He is always available in both build up and around the opponent's box, and more often than not he progresses the ball forward either by carrying or passing. His ability in duels is now at least as good as Joelinton, and would take some of that burden away from Bruno, who should be our main source of creativity along with Woltemade, but is often spending his energy running around like a mad man instead. Anderson and Tonali behind Bruno is an incredible combination for a midfield and has absolutely everything. Bruno is an incredibly creative player, we need to unlock that.

The College Dropout Posted November 2, 2025 Share Posted November 2, 2025 I don’t think we need a creative central player necessarily. We just need more football in the team even if it’s a similar profile. Just as examples Anderson for Joelinton, Mbeumo for Murphy/Elanga, Hall for Burn- none of these players are super technicians or creative but it raises the entire level of the team. Much more likely to beat a press, can hold the ball. Half a side of: Pope Krafth Burn at LB Joelinton Murphy Holds us back way too much. We could carry one or two but not the 5. We don’t need a revolution but solid level up from this. From the little I’ve seen of Ramsey he doesn’t offer much and is an extremely safe and sideways or back passer.

Guest Posted November 2, 2025 Share Posted November 2, 2025 we need players who can pass to one another and create openings through movement. He can do both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 2, 2025 Share Posted November 2, 2025 Also tbh I think Woltemade might be more of a second striker in a Howe system. Howe wants a direct runner in behind imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Ramsey was meant to have been one of the best players at both receiving and making line breaking passes when at Villa (Woltemade was the same). I think I get what we're trying to do on paper but none of it is working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted November 10, 2025 Share Posted November 10, 2025 He'd walk into our team at present mind. Would take Minteh ahead of Elanga any day as well. In hindsight I think I'd rather we'd cashed in on Joelinton and Gordon to satisfy PSR (we'd have got more for those 2 as well) but there you go.
