Also changes the calibre of player who will give us the time of day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 When we finally get some success, e.g. getting into Europe, winning a trophy, I’d love to see a thread dissecting all our transfer windows since the Keegan years and rating them. Obviously a window doesn’t mean much without context as you could sign no one and it could be an ok window or a disastrous window but we could contextualise the summer window by putting in where we finished the season before and January window by where we are in the league at the end of the window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Interesting article in the athletic, seems Nico Williams from Bilbao was our second choice behind Gordon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clear to see where we are heading. Top 4 will be a game changer though if we can find some way of sustaining top 4. It will just make our recruitment that much easier and likely fire us up a bracket of potential signings to where we were expecting to be. It is a BIG ask to stay top 4 though imo.

He's certainly not looked to have the pace out wide but definitely has the first touch and movement to play the most forward of the three. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the first couple of times Howe brought Anderson on it was to play in midfield. After that there was a long period where he was injured/not involved and that was when he got some minutes on the wing. If I had to say I think Howe sees Anderson as more of an attacking midfielder than a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Where did Anderson actually play for Bristol Rovers? In my head I have always had him pegged as a wide attacking player, but seen people suggesting he is more of a CM than I may have originally thought.

Kid Icarus Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 He played as a LW in (I think) a 433 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 From what I've seen of him for NUFC he looks like he should be a #10 rather than a CM. He has the work rate, but he's probably not safe enough with the ball to play deeper yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Kone, Caicedo, Rice and Bellingham 4 top class midfielders, we need to get hold of one of these in the summer if we get into the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many more could make that list, who would also improve us. But I agree, and think we will undoubtedly strengthen that position. Here’s hoping we have the draw of, and prospective money, fromChampions League football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 After seeing the level of respect between Rice and our players yesterday and even Howe name checking him in the post match interview, I’m 100% convinced the courtship has begun with this one.

Guest Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Can find a player like Rice abroad, let Man U or similar pay an exorbitant fee for him. Look at what caicedo has done at Brighton. I’d much rather pick someone up for a lesser fee and use the money elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I really like Rice just think his price tag will be too hefty for us at this stage. Would really be a massive signing for us though. Seems a decent fella and model pro to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I would prefer a Tchouameni type, over Rice. Not him Obvs but in that mould and I do think you can find them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
