Not even sure if one of them will arrive here since Chelsea probably see us as an emerging threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 If Ajax won't sell us Alvarez, then you would like to think there must be a viable alternative out there who could do a similar job. It's a hole in our squad IMO, I know you can play Bruno there, but I still think he'd be better alongside a true DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I dont think we necessarily need a pure DM in there. Get a dynamic and strong box to box player that is good technically and tidy on the ball and we would have tons more options tactically. I’m thinking of someone like Seko Fofana or similar who I have mentioned before. Would be the perfect fit. Having said that, I wouldn’t mind say Maddison and a more defensive minded CM but it’s just not gonna happen. This is not a reply to the post above.

We certainly need some quality in that area, but if we're still going to nip in last minute for Paqueta or Maddison, I can understand if we are holding back on this one.

That’s the hope unless they are looking for more than one - not outside the realms of possibility with Thiago’s injury record and Henderson / Milner’s ages.

Ikon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It feels like we might have left it a bit too late to get two players in. Or at least risking it being too late. Fingers crossed that we haven’t and can get the two deals done. I’m talking a midfielder and a wide forward. Gonna be an intense week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Would Fofana fit into our midfield hell of a player, just not sure he’s more Joelinton than DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Perfect fit! Especially when you consider how Howe wants to play. He would be an absolutely perfect signing. Edited August 29, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last week of the window is not a new thing, and a whole system has grown around it. So it's not unrealistic to think we could sign 1-3 players on the last day, purely because all the leg-work has been done in the previous weeks. Yeah I'd be surprised if we don't make a couple more signings, things should hot up as the deadline approaches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all three need to have defensively good stats. His game would give us “more legs” in there as well as adding goals. He has the ability to carry the ball too. He would improve us possession wise too which itself would make us stronger defensively overall. For example. Bruno can start the play and dictate it and still move into a more advanced third and let Joelinton drop deeper to cover. Bruno would do this brilliantly. Orchestrate and dictate the fluidity and tempo of the game from deep and with a license to go forward. Edited August 29, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
