Jaqen Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 He's perfect for us right now. I'd like to see what other options are available in the summer though. I think we'll be looking at a more attacking fullback that would allow us to switch to a 3atb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'd be happy to sign him if only because he looks perfect for our situation. By all accounts his best football for Villa came behind Grealish and that's basically what we find ourselves in with Maxi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWTL Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Perfect fit behind Maxi, good at defending and gets forward to create space. Doesn't need to be that great at actually attacking if he is behind ASM as will rarely get the ball anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 He's left Villa as soon as Digne came in so I wonder if he'd fancy signing permanently here if he's thinking he could be getting upgraded on within a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said himself that that was his reason for leaving Villa, so if we do sign someone else, I'd have no issue with him choosing to find another first team spot elsewhere. Love the guy.

Hasn't quite nailed down a regular first team place at Atletico, but was highly rated before joining them. Interestingly another left back we are supposedly considering is the Nigerian left back at Porto, Zaidu Sanusi.

midds Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 He'd be absolutely perfect as a transition signing. We're not going to challenge the top 6 for a couple of years but we need to seriously upgrade in loads of positions. He and Burn are perfect additions as we move from an annually-threatened relegation squad to a comfortable mid-table squad. Shift the obvious shite on and he'd be a massive upgrade talent wise in another key area for a relatively modest fee. Lewis and Clark have burnt their bridges here imo, Targett and Burn more than fill their spots. Hendrick out, Bruno in. Trippier in, Krafth out. Incremental improvements across the board but the first few improvements will be huge due to the shocking standard of some of the players he inherited.

Happinesstan Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 He's ideal, in a back 4 behind ASM. Our defensive targets in January did suggest Howe was looking to play a back 3 with attacking WBs. That said, he was not shy about getting to the by-line, against West Ham. Question is, will Maxi use him in that situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us, he was brilliant with Grealish in front of him, absolutely solid, players' player of the year etc. Without Grealish ahead of him and us playing in a way that doesn't suit him (or any of the players, judging by the last two matches) leaves him exposed. I was surprised there was so much meh in the reaction to this signing, knowing what he's like as a player, and your set up, it made perfect sense. In fact, I think we were a bit stupid to engage in the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think we were a bit stupid to engage in the deal. Against West Ham, without Maxi he showed great intelligence going forward. I think this extra responsibility tired him more, leading to a couple of late sloppy passes, but he was a perfect foil for Murphy who lacked the Maxi attitude that he can take on anybody. Great signing. Edited February 22, 2022 by Happinesstan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not for £20m+. I honestly wouldn’t care if we blew 20m + on him in the same way I didn’t that we blew 25m on Wood. If he’s a good player, improves us and is of good character, professionalism and wants to be here, who cares really. The good thing is, he’s a very good all-round LB, not great attacking wise, but more than decent enough to link up play, but defensively, what he adds to ASM’s game for example is the key component here. He frees him up basically as we saw against Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 MOTM for me, personally. Soldiered on after what looked to be a really really awful stamp on his ankle by Desilva, and then just kept the left flank totally watertight. Had a hand in the first goal too. Whoever said he wasn't all that going forward is going to have to eat his hat - he does what he needs to do and he is very disciplined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
