Trippier and Bruno are stellar signings, but we will need one more forward with pace and goals to make it a great window. Dan's not a bad signing for the squad, although quite over-priced, but he will hopefully do a job short term. Still not convinced he's any better than Dummett tbh, but Dummett is made of glass.

HaydnNUFC Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Burn and Bruno have very high progressive passing stats. Can see what Howe wants to bring in, we've been missing the links in transitions and the ability to transition the ball with speed for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that chart CB has been awful whatever players we've had in! If you then look at our midfield we've offered very little for a few years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 He would be solid cover in the future as well and I am pretty sure he is willing to accept this role given his history. Great signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It'll probably be Burn with Lascelles. Still time to use the 2 loan options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Well he’s better than our other cb’s, so there’s that. Edited January 30, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather like Graham Potter, 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts' take on this seems to be the thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Eddie came in he talked about how he really liked Schar, as he was his type of defender, due to his ball playing abilities imagine. Never seen him big up Lascelles. I think Lascelles will be dropped tbh. As a matter of fact I could see both Schar and Lascelles being dropped, with Burn partnering another centre back we bring in.

xLiaaamx Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 There's more to defending than those two stats plotted against eachother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Agree with the overall 'solid signing' opinions, it's a 7/10 transfer, nothing spectacular but a definite upgrade on who currently gets a place each week. I'd expect him to put in 7/10 performances too, steady and reliable. It's also important that he's coming in full of confidence and isn't of this weak, scared mentality where they don't want the ball or they're scared of making mistakes. Still need a couple more in ideally but we'll just have to see what happens tomorrow. 2 more significant upgrades either on loans or permanents would constitute a very very good window for us.
