Think he’d be a very astute signing. 1 minute ago, KaKa said: Yeah, I have to say he looks incredibly impressive, at just 21 years old too. Would be very excited if we end up getting him for our midfield. He was linked yesterday via that Talbot guy, not sure how reliable tbh but according to him they have asked for over 30 million but we remain interested if they lower the price.

Dr Jinx Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 While I do subscribe to the “if you’re good enough, you’re old enough”, I also think it doesn’t do any harm to have some experience in there (in the midfield), especially when things are not going for us. Although Shelvey is one of (if not the) the oldest in there for us, he’s highly unreliable when under pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s raw but impressively well-rounded for his age. The fact that he could play as a cdm or on the left or right of a midfield 3 makes him a really attractive proposition imo. 30m + would be very steep for him considering all the other more proven options we could go for at that price (Hojberg, Soucek, Fofana, Ruiz etc.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no.. not really. Pope is a good signing. I'd also take Emmanuel Dennis from Watford. However Sarr is one of those players that was constantly talked about potentially a world beater, however whenever I've watched them play or when he's played against us he's looked very average/raw.

ponsaelius Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) Sarr wouldn't be as high profile or flash as some of the other right sided names mentioned and he always looks a little rough around the edges in terms of dribbling - but he's actually really solid at loads of things. Very strong runner and decent end product both in terms of crossing and through balls. Gets on the end of things and scores goals at the back post. To me he always seems like a player who still has room to grow and would step up at another club. Cornet I'm not really a fan of. Scored quite a few goals but he was basically played as a forward and I don't think his general play was very good. Seemed more like a bit of a random hot streak.

Gawalls Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 3 hours ago, Cronky said: Barbosa looks very tempting though. From what I can tell, he had a disastrous move to Inter 5 years ago, but he would have been only 20/21 and it would be interesting to know a bit more about what went wrong? The clips of him playing in South America, where he seems to score hatfuls of goals, look very encouraging even though the defending isn't European standard. He seems to play as a withdrawn / creative forward like Beardsley and Bellamy (late developers both) and those two transformed the side. Bruno would know him from the national side, and with Big Joe as well, he might be able to settle in to a new environment better than he did before. And a person can do a lot of growing up between 20 and 25. Not sure if he and ASM together would be a good fit though. A mountain of speculation on a molehill of fact I know, but if our Eddie thinks he's worth the gamble, then the rewards could be considerable. Any time there’s a South American competition on - we’ll have no squad left if we kept buying Brazilians Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Pretty sure the Barbosa stuff is agent driven. He'll want another crack at European football after flopping the first time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely see that with ektite’s highlights reel - everybody says he’sa raw talent etc but I see a load of clumsy goals in a league with a lot more space than you get in the premier league. doesn’t mean he won’t be good though - if we buy him then I’ll trust the process we will have gone through to decide he’s the right fit.

Surely it is complete bollocks? Ignacio again too. Considering the are all left footers except Kounde I would expect its bs. We will need an upgrade on Schar before too long but unless we shift all of Lascelles, Clark and Fernandez I don't think we will add further there. If we do add further you would think it would be a young RCB to compliment the experience we have in Schar and Burn. Ideally we could ship Clark, Fernandez and Dummett. Then have a 5 CB pool of Botman, Burn, Schar, New CB and Lascelles. Good mix of youth, experience and Jamal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather we went for Brennan Johnson, plays RW, LW, AM, CF, CM. Young, great attitude. I see him as a player who could improve dramatically just due to the surroundings like Dyer or Jenas from Bobbys day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Osimhen would be a Drogba/Aguero type signing. A centre forward who can be the main man right to the top. He'd be my #1 choice too, but it just feels like a season or two too early for moves like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
