Rafalove Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Prefer quantity tbh. It will be very difficult to play with our style of football without depth. We need a right sided centre back ideally a pacey one. Not really sure who I would go for in that position. We need an attack minded left back perhaps someone like Grimaldo, though I haven’t seen him lay much. Davies is way out of our reach for that position. In a year or two it might be possible but not now. There are a number of good options seemingly for the em role. Ugarte, Lavia, Kone, Haidara. Rice is good but surely one of the aforementioned options would be better especially for the price. Maddison seems a no brainier especially as Veiga now looks destined for Real. Rw perhaps Alex Scott would fill our English quota too. as for the wing/cf role I would be in for either Pedro or Roque. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a major talent, but doesn't seem to be linked much with other clubs. Maybe there's some question marks about his application / attitude or something like that.

Manxst Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It’s also not totally unheard of that a team sells a player on even before he’s joined- chance of big profit, change of manager, financial need etc. Can’t see it myself personally, but you never know. He’s a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve met him, he’s a great guy, but Davies is unreal. Pickup Jonathan David to eventually replace Wilson and I’ll die a happy man. As a fellow Canadian, I can vouch for them not being dickheads. Already too many Canadians in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 13 hours ago, Kanji said: I’m with you @Shak Id caveat that with potentially a fast better on ball LCB / LB if we can’t get Davies. (Ie someone who can play Big Dan’s role but is simply quicker and more potent when actually getting up pitch). I’m all in on Rice who I believe has the engine of Longie but better all around play, and a dynamo RW. Going to be hard for me to accept anyone displacing Joelinton and Joe Willock at LW/LCM at this point. Doing so stunts development of two sensational talents who play our ball and are integral to how we function as a team. I don’t want to see Bruno out of the deep playmaker role. Aye, I'm also very much of the opinion that Bruno should stay in the same position. I do think he'd still be quality in a more advanced role but the DM we bring in would have to be absolutely world class or we're downgrading that position in our team. Leave him where he is and bring in competition for Longstaff. It's why Rice would be ideal, for me. He'd be a beast in that role Longstaff plays but he's also tidy enough on the ball to play the role Bruno does in the event that Bruno gets injured without the catastrophic fall off we've seen when he's been out this season. The concept of going forward with Joelinton as primarily a LW is an interesting one to me. Generally I've been against it as I think that when teams sit back and we have to break them down he's not going to contribute much in that regard. However, if you added a genuinely top class attack-minded LB I think I could get behind it. Joelinton, Willock and Alphonso Davies down that side seems like they could do some serious damage going forward while being very solid defensively too. I think if you are going to use Joelinton on the left, you need a LB that is really good going forward. A deluxe Dan Burn type only makes sense to me if you're going with an ASM type at LW. Might be something that could make a lot of sense if Saint-Maximin does leave as has been rumoured? Instead of replacing him with another winger, leave Joelinton and Gordon to compete for that spot and see it as a spot that pays off mostly when we're out of possession and can cover a marauding left back. Instead of bringing in a winger to replace ASM maybe you bring in someone like a James Maddison, who'd give us something different in terms of his skillset and could probably play in quite a few positions in our team.

Being realistic, the exception is probably Davies as his wages might be an issue, he's already at Bayern and would presumably have everyone else after him if he is available. But we've gone from an absolute non-entity of a club to on the verge of being one of the most attractive clubs in the world to the game's best young talents in less than two years and it's all a bit mental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 We were linked a month or so ago but nothing too strong. His contract is up in 2025 so I guess if they're going to cash in on him this summer is the time to do it? I did only mention him as the absolute dream signing in terms of what I'd want from the position. I'd say Tierney or Grimaldo are far more likely.
