David Edgar Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I only really know of him from his highlight reels, which look very impressive. But then a quick look at his stats: Quality freekicks Can hit an absolute rocket from open play Creates lots of chances Does a good amount in defence/press Really strong passer Just his goal attempts/output which is a little low Feels like he does a lot of what Trippier does, but from midfield. Pair him with a really fullback on the left and we are laughing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have everything you want from an attacking midfielder. His biggest strength must be his shooting and creative/precise passing. But also has excellent technique and reminds me a little of Joelinton with his ability to drive forward with good pace while maintaining control of the ball. Gives Trippier some much needed competition of set pieces. Just some youtube scouting though Edited May 19, 2023 by Displayname Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Dont mind Bruno staying in a more defensive role if we get this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierney does seem very likely and fits the bill in terms of what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I'm not sure about Maddison, Tierney, Gallagher or McTominay personally. But I'll trust whatever the club try to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 All seem very smart signings to me, even McTominay provided it’s a decent fee (it won’t). Our squad is going to be stretched immeasurably next season fighting across four competitions. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Gallagher has looked like a headless chicken every time I've seen him this season. I'm sure Eddie could work his magic but he'll cost, what, 35-40 million? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Gallagher would be ideal for one of the number eight roles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kocunar Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I know we have European competition to play next year, and we need more depth. I would still rather buy 3 top quality players rather than fill our squad with mediocre players that we will be stuck with for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as excited to see players coming in to develop for 2/3 yrs down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I think it would be nice to get some players in that Eddie doesn't have to work his magic on. Thuram and Szoboszlai from the above list are type I want, players that improve us immediately.

Dokko Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 The club clearly know what they are doing (Christ, feels weird saying that) so even if these signings aren't the glamorous ones ou are hoping for, thryll be the right fit to complete the jigsaw. Consistency is key now. Consistent in our form across competitions and to be in the mix for everything. We need a bigger quality squad for that. Theyll find the right balance I'm sure. BTW, we managed to grab botman and Isak last year when all we did was survive relegation (quite handsomely in the end) this year, players will be all over us wanting to join. We're the real deal already. At least 2 years ahead of ourselves in we see CL through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) If we do get Champions League it's a guaranteed 6 extra games before Christmas, given the way this season has been scheduled due to the World Cup I'm not sure how much of a difference these extra games will make to us having to play twice per week & thus then the squads make up. The Premier League will be back to it's usual schedule, we knew the squad would need to be bigger regardless of European football but I don't think we need to be going out and getting in additional 6/7/8 players. Those that leave will need replacing and then we need to add a few bits of quality and a couple of squad/younger players.
