Ings is decent, Watkins is incredibly hard working but also very wasteful. Cameron Archer will feature, I think, he looks the real deal. I'd still rather have a more reliable source of goals. Wesley still plays for us. That's a shocking thought. Fuck knows where he'll be on loan next season. The only Brazilian male with no innate football ability whatsoever. Can you get Ings and Watkins in together in your 11 you reckon? Seemed reluctant last half of last season. Ings would get you more goals in a season you'd imagine (injuries permitting) but Watkins offers a lot in link up play. Agree about him being wasteful, he isnt a finisher from what Ive seen.

"May you live in interesting times", as they (can't remember who) say. May you live in interesting times is a curse though (although it’s supposedly apocryphal, it’s attributed to the Chinese). Interesting times mean war, famine, pestilence, relegation, etc etc. Edited July 19, 2022 by leffe186 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Apparently City get 20% of any profit from a Jack Harrison sale - so that will add more onto the asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Biggest difference between us and Villa is in the dugouts. Angry McSlumpsinhischair has got nowt on our guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Leeds only paid 11 million for him last summer and he probably had a worse season than the one before. We'd definitely be getting our eyes gouged at 35 million - even though I think he'd be a solid signing, immediately add balance to the team and would be massive improvement on current wide options sans Maxi. Not a Bruno/Botman type signing but would be a level above your Targett/Pope type signings IMO - although perhaps that's just due to any attacking player seeming sexier.

ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Can definitely play both sides and did so a lot in his earlier career. Played left a lot more at Leeds but that's generally just because of the players they've had, particularly Raphinha last two years. You could also swap him and Maxi around easily - which I think would be a good weapon to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Getting a winger who can play both sides would definitely be important imo - particularly if any striker we get is more exclusively through the middle. However a winger that can play both sides and a forward who can also play wide would be ideal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't a fan of the appointment, but he's come in after we sold our best player days before the start of the season (the player the whole team was built around), inherited someone else's squad, and done an OK job. Whether Howe did better or worse doesn't really come into it. I'll give him a chance and see what he does, he's done and said all the right things so far, so I am not really sure what this conviction that he is a chancer comes from. There isn't anything thus far that suggests that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
