This year he hasn’t reached the same heights. Or been anywhere near. Aye it's from 2021 but is a general look at him as a player from a neutral.

The Prophet Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I can't imagine we'll want to pad out a bloated, ageing squad with more more limited players who are pushing 30. It has to be quality over quantity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt either will happen because the club is focussed on reducing the age of the squad - it doesn’t make sense to add these two when they’re 30, even if they’re on a free Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we do I'll trust howe know what he's doing.. and that goes for anyone classed as "underwhelming" on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change of scenery for both might make a difference too. Take Craig Dawson, he’s probably in the same sort of bracket as Lascelles and Tarkowski ability & reputation wise when he was at WBA. Doubt there’d have been many people wanting him here even on a free but he’s been great for West Ham. Think it’s a worthwhile bit of business even if FFP isn’t a factor.

The College Dropout Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Chill out mate. Dawson was brought in to provide depth in their European run and ended up first choice due to injury to Ogbonna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Dan Burn is a good player and all, but really shows you the lack of ball-playing ability in the squad (Lascelles, Clark, Fede, Dummett) when the Athletic is lauding Burn as one in that article. Burn is comfortable on the ball, but hardly a ball-player like Schar (and Lejeune before him). Edited June 1, 2022 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him, Schar, Burn…not much between them in my opinion but all decent for a season. Next summer sign another clear first-choice, let Burn go and keep Tarkowski & Schar as backup.

Burn and Botman are LCBs and left-footed mate. Tarkowski is right footed and I’m assuming he’s a RCB? Howe massively prefers having a left footed and right footed CB to play those positions.

Ikon Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) The two CB’s that I think would be the best signings are Badiashile and Bremer. Not that we are gonna get two. Out of the ones we have been linked with that are still “available” I mean. Edited June 1, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Thankfully Dan Ashworth has come at the right time. I'm sure he'll be looking at younger players who can grow with the project. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Yeah it seems botman and Diaby might be a step to far ? We might have to look at Tarkowsi , Winks , lingard ? not my cup of tea , but it all depends on how persuasive we can be in terms of selling (Da project) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I dont think we have trouble atrracting players. Bruno will be a very good advert for us, especially if similar age/profile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not his Role The club tell him what sort of players they are looking for (age range, price range, attributes , etc etc) its then his job to pass this on to his recruitment team to find these players and report back to him. He asks for a huge detailed report for each player and these are passed on to the management staff to look through He is the top guy and he has people around him to do all of the work. They all sit down and go through all of the options Eddie / coaches Dan Dans team They will select who they want and pass onto the board to get sign off its then Dans job / Dans team to get the deals done ….negotiate and get the best deal they can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Zinchenko was linked to us very speculatively a few pages back. Probably nothing in that, but even so, still be quite interesting to watch him playing in Scotland vs Ukraine tonight, mainly given we've obviously got a gap at LB right now.
