Seems to sit down and stretch his hamstring or calf at least once a game and I shit myself. Edited April 9, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 We could use an injection of pace in the back line, mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I'm probably biased as a Croatian but I think Sutalo from Dinamo Zagreb would be a fantastic signing at RCB. He is young (just turned 23), very modern centre back. Will probably go to RB Leipzig or a similar club for £20m pounds this year, and then be sold for £40-50m in a year or two so it would be smarter to buy him now. He's been excellent for our National team and for Dinamo in the UCL. Very similar to Schar playstyle wise, fantastic technique and very calm on the ball. Also faster than Schar, but also makes a mistake here and there which is to be expected from a young player. Don't think we'll sign him, he will probably go somewhere where he will be a guaranteed starter, but with us playing European football, we will have lot more minutes to give at centre back positions.

simonsays Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Tierney makes so much sense in terms of a signing. Younger Dan Burn type player who can play centre back and left back. I know everyone will mention his injury record but i think players with versatility will be what we target in the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it him alongside Gvardiol at the World Cup? If so I really liked him and that's a great shout. Didn't realise he was so young. Yes please!

It was Lovren during most of the World Cup(most Croatian didnt like that decision but he played well so its hard to argue), he played only against Morocco in the 3rd player match. That match is probably the only one where we dominated, besides Canada in the group stage. He did play against France when we beat them in Paris in Nations League. He and Stanisic made Mbappe invisible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kocunar Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Release cause being relatively low makes it much more likely for us to sign him. Hopefully Chelsea doesn't come in for him, they love their release clauses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, its been amazing the last 3 games that him Gvardiol played as a pair. It feels like having 2 midfielders as centre backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how much we are being linked with Maddison, I'm surprised Majer isn't mentioned as well. Very similar player but for half the price. He is playing worse this season than last though, and he wouldn't really fit in our pressing scheme, but if we need more quality on the ball he would be a decent option.

Would you say he can he play on the right hand side in our 4-3-3 system? Or would he be more of a number 8? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a natural number 10, very left footed, in a 4-3-3 he is most suited as a right midfielder, he can also play as a right winger, but definitely not a dribbling threat when played there.

STM Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 If we make CL. Test Liverpool with 40m for Andy Robertson. He's 29, will still get 4/5 good years from him. He's on 100k, which we could afford. He might be ready for new challenge. Him and Trippier as fuck backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
