A proper holding midfielder to free up Bruno to create things further up i would have said. But after letting Wood go, i would say someone who could play across the front.

et tu brute Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Up to the owners now - do you really want to try and push on for champions league football. I'm still confident they will - not Andy fucking Gordon though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what type though. I know Twitter lust for Diaby, but he thrives in the Bundesliga because he gets oceans of space in behind. That won't help us break down a low block. You probably need someone who can pick a pass from the half space like Maddison or someone direct as fuck like Barnes or Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creativity in midfield. We need to convert those clean sheets to wins. We’re going to see a lot of opponents defending for 90 minutes and playing for a draw.

Ikon Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Bruno is more or less alone in midfield when it comes to proper overall top football ability. We have work horses around him that lack in technical quality and end product. Willock is very good at carrying the ball and when we are in transition otherwise he also lacks ability in some areas, especially when teams sit deep. Good players around Bruno but somewhat lacking. Joelinton is very good but we need others to not get too one dimensional. Joelinton offers a lot but there a clear lack of creativity to balance the hard workers.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 If everyone is expecting Diaby or Maddison to walk through the SJP gates before the end of Jan, I think they’re going to be disappointed. Someone like Gordon looks much more likely to me - the club are insisting on keeping costs down, and I don’t imagine there is the panic like there was last Jan. The club looks ahead of schedule - why overpay now on a gamble? I can’t see Maddison or Diaby going for less than 70m in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be underestimated how much those solid players and the system they play in have meant we are where we are and they can contribute creatively in patches but no one else is consistently delivering creatively other than Bruno so we desperately need creative player(s) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean that they’re going to spend it. The constant FFP references suggest to me that they intend to grow the club’s finances via sponsorships, not through throwing PIF’s own money in constantly. It’s not a Man City / PSG model - which suits me fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does look like Thuram is one of the best available options numbers wise, sounds like he's not game though. Kolo Muani has just joined Frankfurt...
