SUPERTOON Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I think we need a out and out DM, all our current midfielders are attack minded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Just now, Ikon said: Imo we need an attacking CM and a CM either a box to box that is very athletic or more of a number 6. Personally I think I would prefer someone in the mould of Kone/Thuram than a pure DM that doesn’t offer much going forward. 6 Ugarte Alvarez Rice 8 Thuram Kone DS Alex Scott Y Fofana Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very happy with that too as long as this player has good technical ability and passing range. Especially if not offering much else like ball carrying ability for example.

Yeah if we get a DM - his ability to pass the ball has to be of a high level - none of this bollocks side to side passing - forward and penetrative Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Not sure if reports are true and if he still has the hunger but we could do worse than Brozovic for about the reported 30m. Not seen anything of him this season mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Rice is good but I think he is way overpriced at around 100m or whatever. Just scored. Edited May 21, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not followed it closely and neither do I know the reasons for it. Used to be class. More likely to for a younger and probably rightly so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he is overpriced but I think he would fit well with us. Bruno, Rice, Longstaff, Big Joe, Willock. That is really good midfield. Could mix it up. Different combos.

Deuce Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Strongest argument against signing Szoboslai is that no one can spell his name correctly. you didn’t even notice that I spelled it incorrectly just now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair we call Bruno by that name because when he signed there were that many differeny pronunciations of Guimaraes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very smart of him to pick up an "injury" before the last game if it will still be possible to reach the minute threshold. Or he could play as many minutes so his club get a few more quid for him, leaves in an honorable way and the buying club still get a talent for a reasonable fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Progressive would just mean laying it off quick and moving forward for the return pass. Tiote with a bit less delusions of grandeur would do me nicely.

We only have 17 players who have played more than 10 games this season though, so it doesnt have to be one of the regulars. Lewis, Ritchie, Manquillo, shortstaff and Fraser will all be going and one of Karius and Gillespie, maybe Dubs. Half decent chance Lascelles leaves too.
