Ikon Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Fofana is more of a box to box. Heavily involved and often far up the pitch in the last third. Kamara is more defensive and playing deeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Yeah, Fofana and Kamara can easily play in the same midfield as they are very different players Just signing those two transforms our team tenfold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Watched a YouTube compilation of Fofana and his gait and the way he shapes up to shoot reminds me so much of Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Cantwell is a bit like Ramsey for me. I'm fine with them coming in IF we also get another CM/DM. Plenty on here around a year ago that would have loved Cantwell here. He is potentially a project but knows the league, like Wood, and can make an impact. Would imagine we would sell Miggy to accomodate. As much as I still harbour hopes he gets back to the player we bought we might be forced to cash in on him as one of our few saleable assets (loosely using the word asset).

Even before CH or FB. Just always though we'd only go for one at most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we've given enough chances to Miggy to show us some end product, so Cantwell would just be a straight swap for me, and that would immediately improve our squad. Almiron's probably quicker over the ground, but he has no idea how to put it to good use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 If we get much better players in the center of the park and play Almiron in his best position (10), he will look 10x the player, not having to carry the burden all himself. There is a long list of players that need replacing before we get to Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was an immense capture having watched him in the MLS, still think it's there but time is or has run out. Maybe it's a mental thing, too much lost in translation in tactics or what coaches want for him. Certainly confidence is a factor but playing him as a 10 is his best position and we haven't done that. His workrate is likely what will keep him here but I just wish we would give him a go at 10, properly. We would be delighted if we bought this Almiron now: (albeit the shite that MLS is) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also had his best games for us in terms of output and actual effect on the games themselves when in the 10, but he's hardly ever been played there. Handful of games when Bruce went to a back 4 between February 2020 and the West Ham draw at home post COVID. If he's not going to play in the 10 I'd rather we just sell him and he's utterly ineffective on the wing, as it pains me to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I couldn't see Almiron having the composure on the ball to be a good number 10 in a good league bar maybe Germany where there's loads of space Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the number on the back of your shirt, if you've got poor end product, I doubt playing in a slightly different position is going to fix that.
