DS for me like - can play in more positions than Maddison Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 DS and that lad from Fenerbahce and we're laughing. Hoy in a quality left back, a young CB, a winger and a CM and it's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

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...

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...
