r0cafella Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Rice would be an amazing signing if we weren’t conceding price. I’m certain we can find as good by looking abroad with much cheaper as we did with Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I'm warming to the Neves idea a lot. I imagine they'll know today how bad Bruno's injury is, but Howe made the point that we're light in this area regardless. Shelvey is a decent player when motivated but not someone I'd stop making transfer plans for even before you account for his mounting injury record.

GWN Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Time for PIF to dig deep, we need to replace Bruno ASAP , we need momentum to be kept if we are going to pull this incredible season off . No fucking around , this is their moment like , we need someone decent . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I want a deep lying playmaker that can help us control possession as well as play an occasional defence splitting ball. Rice doesn’t fit the bill tbh, and his skillset doesn’t match the numbers being talked about for him so I’m not surprised there’s no one in for him. Todd Boehly exists of course so there’s hope for him yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the only issue with asking Bruno to do that is you lose so much from him in an outright attacking sense. To talk squad numbers in positions for moment, think we signed him with the idea of him being a '6', and it turns out he is actually even more effective as an '8'.

Rice would improve us no doubt, but he's not worth the prices being quoted. Edited January 16, 2023 by The Prophet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he is perfectly suited to that position personally and it doesn’t seem to hinder him in an attacking sense either. He creates so many chances. Think the amount on Man of the matches he has won too shows how important and pivotal he is in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 We’ve lost our best passer in Bruno if he’s injured for any length of time. No one else slides balls in like he does. He basically puts at least one chance on a plate every game. We desperately need another midfielder who has fantastic vision and technique to release the types of balls Bruno does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Interesting, a loan deal would be a better fit for me than a proper contract, but with the option to buy. I think Eddie said he’d only really look at those deals for loans anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
