TRon Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Pogba's a fantastic player for the right club but I think those who said he's more suited to the continent are right. It's not that he can't handle the pace of the PL, I just don't think he can be arsed. He always looks so much better playing for France. I love watching him play, but I don't think he's a NUFC player, his head always seems to be turning wherever he is. Plus he looks much less effective with a bald head.

The College Dropout Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I don’t like a short CB. You get your Cannavaro’s and Ramos is hardly tall but unless he’s got a massive jump I’m not a fan of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is pretty variable info on him around the net tbf. I thought he looked way taller than 178cm when seeing him on video but did find the above quote eventually.

The Prophet Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 We need reinforcements across the forward line, ASM and Wilson are great, but you'll not get close to 38 games out of either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) How do people feel about the idea of selling Wilson if we got a good fee? I'd consider it tbh. I love him but he's only been available for less than 50% of the games he's been at the club for and that is incredibly poor. 41 PL appearances out of a possible 105.

gbandit Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I get what you’re saying but it’s really hard to find strikers with his strike rate in the PL. I think we need a young, pacy, skilful striker who will develop with us. With Wilson being here for a couple more years, where hopefully he remains injury free. Wood can be sold on in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would, of course we would then need 2 top class strikers in. I’m hoping if we bring in one we will be able to use better game management on Wilson and keep him fit for longer periods.

Wood can be sold on in the summer IMO the only possibility of him staying injury free if he's not the only decent striker at the club. Some of the names we've been linked with such as Nunez or Osimhen would be perfect with Wilson behind them, but if we're relying on him again next season something will have gone wrong in the summer. He's only been available for 39% of his games here and has never had a season at Bournemouth without a long term injury either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I think a striker, winger, central midfielder or number ten (if we have designs on switching to a 4-2-3-1), and goalkeeper have to be the priority signings (in that order). I'd also like to see us augment the defence a bit more, too, with some genuine competition for Schär, Burn and Targett. New Goalkeeper Dubravka Darlow Trippier Manquillo Schär New Centre-back Lascelles Burn New Centre-back Targett New Left-back Guimarães Shelvey New Centre-mid Willock Joelinton S. Longstaff New Right-winger Murphy Saint-Maximin Fraser New Striker Wilson Wood -- Say bye-bye to Woodman, Gillespie, Krafth, Fernandez, Clark, Dummett, Lewis, Hayden, Hendrick, M. Longstaff, Ritchie, Almiron, and Gayle, if possible. -- New GK Trippier Schär Burn Targett Guimarães Joelinton New RW New AM Saint-Maximin New ST Easy top eight.

Willow Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm in the same boat, I love him and he's been great when he's played but we need fit players. Spend big on a quality striker in his prime with a decent fitness record and back him up with a young/hungry/pacey exciting talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Say we sign Targett permanently and we have the budget for four more players, what positions would people targett. I'd say CB, CAM, RW and ST. Though, I wouldn't be adverse to a quality CDM, so we can play a double-pivot. A GK too, though I don't feel that's as big of a priority. Edit: Rich is already all over it. Edited March 24, 2022 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yeah Rich's post more or less nails it. Would like an extra wide player though. Don't think Murphy is good enough, Fraser is an ideal squad player to have as your fourth choice wide player but an injury of any significance to ASM of the new winger and we're in a bit of bother.

STM Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Get Targett, then spend 90m on 4 quality players right through the spine: GK, CB, CM, ST. Once they are done we can wheel and deal with a few outgoings, see if we can get a decent RW. I'm convinced we will get at least 1 quality player on a free early doors.

The Prophet Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I wouldn't sell Wilson, he's decent. A young, up and coming striker would be useful. That way there would be no pressure to hit the ground running, but we could manage Wilson's minutes to stop him breaking down as regularly. That and we could do with bringing the average age of the squad down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
