Kid Icarus Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Yeah, I'd pay that now. Had previously thought it was too steep, but in the context of other transfers going on at the moment, his record, the form he's started the season with, and how well he'd fit in the team, it seems perfectly reasonable now. I'd go for it as well, I really rate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmesy Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Leeds supporting mate of mine reckon Harrison don’t really fit into Marsch’s system very well. Harrison is an out-and-out winger but Marsch plays a narrow system. That said, he did pretty well at the weekend in a narrow system so ??♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused why they would sell him 2 years left, which according to everyone this summer is "near the end of a contract". Which is frankly ridiculous logic. In the last 12 months, fair enough. But not the last 2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 We're looking to sign Pedro as backup for Wilson with the view that he will hopefully take his place in a couple of years or so. Can't see him playing wide to be honest. We still need a proper right-sided forward urgently, but getting Pedro so we don't have to give Wood as many minutes is great business.

TRon Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm surprised more hasn't been made of the bid for Manu Kone, that's something which went under the radar somewhat. It means we are looking to add a DM as well, and assuming we won't up or bid for Kone, then would there be other alternatives for that position?

From what I’ve seen he doesn’t look like a no9 striker. More a number 10/wide forward. I’m no gaffer tho. Would make sense as to why we have been linked to Maddison/paqueta types if they see pedro as a wide forward Edited August 23, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford fans on Twitter and the only Watford fan I know, seemed to be suggesting he is best used as an inside left, right or behind the striker.

Bruno has been immense on and off the ball since signing. Fit as a flea and covers so much ground for someone who is 'slow'. But I would like to see him get a bit further up the pitch when he can. Someone sitting deeper, like Shelvey did last season, but who can also cover more ground and offer a better screen to the back 4 would be ideal. It was probably by design, as Howe was very aggressive with the midfield and bodies getting forward against City. But I felt like the CB's didn't really get any help from a CM sitting in front of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Said it before but could certainly see Pedro being used in the 'Josh King role' alongside Wilson which Howe played most of the time at Bournemouth in the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More a number 10 Agreed, but perhaps that's how Howe wants his central striker to play in the future? More of a link up player with goals coming from wide? Like Liverpool, or City and Arsenal in previous seasons. Pedro has predominantly played as a central forward in his career so far. It's why we really need a goalscoring wide player out right. If someone who can finish could get into the positions Miggy has been getting into in this system with service from ASM and Bruno, then they're gonna score 15+ a season for us imo.

Looks like Shelvey's injury has made us consider a DM, which is a good thing IMO, it's one position we haven't really got a specialist for, Bruno can play it, but feels like he is prone to the odd late tackle as the pace is frenetic in the PL. I think he's a bit more effective pushed up a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
