SUPERTOON Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Wolves fans seem to think they have improved the last 2 games because Neves has been missing with suspension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my impression as well. Always looked like he was nearly a good player, but somehow always falling short of producing anything of any real note. Just ran around a lot with big hair from what I could tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's decent on the ball, but doesn't look particularly mobile, so not sure if he's a good fit for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 But if you put Bruno and Neves + Longstaff then you do have pace and energy in the middle. Or even Joelinton or Willock. If what is being said, is that we need someone who is not only an absolute baller but also has the engine of Mo Farah/Usain Bolt, we might be disappointed. Can't remember ever thinking Casemiro or Rodri were particularly pacey/energetic players, although I don't know the stats on that. Give me Neves and Bruno and let's see how many teams can get the ball off us, let's dominate games and cut team apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need an Ake type. Think he's played LB, RB and left-sided centre back in a 3 for Scotland? Edited April 20, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does play as the left sided centre back for Scotland and has done for a while now. When Arteta was playing with a back 3 he was also used in that position there and is/was used as an overlapping wide centre back. His injuries are a concern but if Howe is looking for a Burn replacement, in that he wants a left back that can tuck in when Trippier bombs forward, he is actually an ideal replacement as he has both the defensive attributes whilst being a far better attacking option than Burn when allowed to get forward.

Partey's press resistance was noticeable as was Casemiro's authority. I never paid attention to Rodri tbf. Tierney isn't highly rated by Arsenal fans. I don't want him either.

That's fine when you have the ball, but it would be pretty difficult to press teams when you don't have it if you have too many players who can't close the space quickly enough.

They were calling for him to replace Zinchenko a few weeks ago on Twitter and it seemed in the majority (not sure if that's just more damning about Zinchenko mind).

The College Dropout Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Zinchenko was awful defensively at Liverpool and perhaps prior. But he's better than Tierney easily imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Don't worry, we'll pursue him for weeks, be just about sign off on a bumper £80k/week contract, freeing him from his unsuccessful spell in Paris when our Hugo logs on to Twitter to see a picture of Eddie and Dan sharing a laugh, NJOY above their heads...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 We will go for Joao Pedro I think, especially with Watford blowing their play-off chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I wasn’t that bothered about Pedro last summer but now I’m sold on him. He’s got athleticism and skills, he’s versatile, he’s achieved a lot for someone so young, and he seems like a good character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I didn’t want Pedro last summer because I felt at the time we needed someone more proven. Now we have Isak I think Pedro would be the perfect signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Bristol City fans I play football with (some with links to the club) here in Bristol are telling me Alex Scott to us is a done deal, possibly with a 1 year loan back but apparently that (the loan back) depends on if we get European football or not.
