His run around/ in your face style is similar ish to Joelinton and neither offer too much in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember seeing a clip a few years ago from when he first signed for Blackburn and he even said himself. Got 14 goals in 48 appearances and 21 goals in 60 during his last two Southampton seasons. The three preceding seasons, he got 8 goals in 50 in total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Could work good in our high pressing game? Joelinton from the left of the three, McTominay from the right, Bruno in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think McSauce is good enough to play as a DM as one (or really a two if Bruno was alongside). Decent enough player though. Not Man Utd aspiration level but certainly decent PL. Leeds could do worse as a replacer for Philips. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 McT and JLintz would be a canny brutal midfield like. Proper power lifters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 McTominay wouldn't be an awful signing. Especially as we do lack depth in the middle (defensively) now with Hayden gone and Hendrick on his way. As long as the price isn't ridiculous, I'd have him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Not seen him play but you’d imagine he’d be similar to an Ekitike in that he may not be ready to start games but will be in and around the first team picture (depending on injuries and form). More or less playing first team for Salzburg, which is a good sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Already capped a few times for Croatia too, although perhaps to get him locked down since he's a dual national. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I like this idea we have of buying the best upcoming 18/19/20yr olds from around Europe. Will reap the rewards of these sort of signings in 2/3yrs time. Especially while our academy gets its act together and we start producing these ourselves.

TRon Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Have we been linked with any out of contract players this summer? I mean other than Lingard. There's only a few days left before they become officially available so you would think there might be some opportunities there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd probably be eased into the side over a season depending on how well he would take to the PL/our style. CM/AM who tore apart the Austrian league last season, meant to be highly rated by alot of top clubs and has been linked to Liverpool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Never heard of him but wouldn’t be averse to a mobile, ultra technical, snide cunt in the middle (wild stereotyping ahoy). Guessing RB Leeds are sniffing about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 After a 10 minute youtube scout and I've decided we must buy Luka Sucic. Seems a cracking talent at only 19, get 'er done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 There's a real production line of Balkan heritage midfielders who've been brought up in central European countries. Ultra technical, tactically astute, can play anywhere across midfield and can handle themselves. Kovacic, Rakitic, Pjanic etc. If he's anything like that lot then he needs signing up.
