sushimonster85 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Who do people prefer, Cornet or Sarr? Seem to be linked a lot with Sarr, who I do like, Cornet does seem like more of a goal threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the teams going down/in relegation fight, Raphina is the only player I'd take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Christ imagine turning nose up at signing an england midfielder who helped us to our first europpean final for donkeys 12 months ago...Not saying wrong, I really like Philips but you could be right and for once I am not too worried if we miss someone we will try and sign someone else rather than the old 'well at least we tried' attitude.

Weezertron Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Why aren't the entire league in for Phillips? Us, Villa and ManU. Price? You'd think this would be his chance for his 'big move' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 IMO Cornet could play at a higher level. He’s struggled a bit with injuries too. Fully fit I think he could get 10-15 goals in this league. £17.5m is v. cheap. 1 in 3 goals for a new to the league player in a poor side is v. good. If ASM is worth £40m then so is Cornet.

Tiresias Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Arsenal were after Bruno so they do want a midfielder. partey gets injured a lot too so they would do well but suspect he is not quite their type. I think a Bruno/Philips/Joelinton midfield would be excellent and would have a lot of balance. Joelinton may be ultimately upgradable but i dunno if we will sign more than one more midfielder, Paqueta feels more for inside forward if we do go in for him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really can go out and get two new starting midfielders then my top choice along with Phillips would be Bissouma. Think he'd be absolutely perfect as the third man in that midfield in terms of the way they complement each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think this would be his chance for his 'big move' Maybe because he's not actually that good? He worked well for England in a set-up that worked for him, but there's dozens out there in France/Germany/Holland/Spain/Italy who could do the exact same without the hype or premium he would attract.

Mountain Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Cornet at 17.5 mil isn't a bad signing, he's 25 and looks like he is yet to peak judging from his career stats. 8 goals in 26 games for Burnley this season. Personally I think we need to be looking above players like him now. Darwin Nunez should be the level we are attempting to sign, 22 years old, 34 goals in 41 games this season. Weaker league but that's a big gap. Also shows he isn't injury prone and can do it consistently over a whole season and he's only going to get better.

I agree. Phillips isn't some amazing talent, he's an above average CDM. Plenty of those around for 1/3 of his price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
