Stifler Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Absolutely no chance we get Davies, not one chance. He has been linked to Man City, but I doubt he’s up for sale. It would be a bigger statement signing than Trippier if we did get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Longstaff/Almiron/Murphys of the squad. It sends a really negative energy/message through the squad to be like “thanks now lets get these other dudes to enjoy what you achieved.” It’s why I think around 2-3 first teamers of absolute quality is the best we can/most we should expect this summer. With some younger prospects we can bring through over the course of the season. Totally agree. I highly doubt EH will just bin off players who have taken us from bottom 3 no-hopers to likely top 4. As fans, we have a tendency to always just want that shiny new thing, spend big money on "elite", well-known players. It's natural and in time, we will slowly evolve. But EH i'm almost certain will operate a lot more cautiously in the summer window than perhaps we as fans would expect. Squad harmony is key and it's at it's absolute peak right now. Watch the Spurs game and see the spirit and team ethic in there, Spurs couldn't dream of it. It's a huge part of our success this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitude20 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 2 hours ago, Jack27 said: Fati is more of an inside forward than an inverted winger, and that’s the perfect match for a striker like Isak who drops deep and draws defenders with him. Inside forwards like to cut inside before receiving the ball, and they are more likely to receive the ball around the box. They are more of goal threats than inverted wingers. Inverted wingers are more likely to receive the ball near the touchline, and they cut inside after that in order to cross or pass. The likes of ASM, Raphinha, and Mahrez are inverted wingers, while Fati, Mbappe, Salah, and Rashford are inside forwards. Liverpool had the perfect setup a few years ago with Salah and Mane as the inside forwards and Firmino as the deep forward who created spaces for them and fed them nice passes. That trio was something else. Having said that, Fati has a terrible injury record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 People complain about our development of players -- we really can't just shove Willock, Longstaff and Joelinton aside for the headline names - those 3 have been pivotal to our tactics and our league position.

Growing up, I loved watching the likes of Zvoni Boban, Boksic, Prosinecki, Jarni, Suker etc. Fingers crossed this lad wants to come to us! Didnt he have that weird transfer to Coventry and was then sold to Real a matter of days/weeks later? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when Real Madrid decided they wanted the player, they successfully bought him from Coventry for £3.4 million with Jarni having made no appearances whatsoever. Some believe this was a joint Coventry City and Real Madrid tactic, as Betis refused to sell him to the Madrid club” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As our schedule becomes more congested when we qualify for Europe, all those players will get their minutes even if we bring in more players. At what point should a good performance prevent us from bringing in new players who potentially could improve us? Imagine if we hadn’t signed Isak or Botman because we were doing great in the second half of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barca want rid and the player wants to come to play football then there's no reason he wouldn't consider lower wages with performance related bonuses (goals/assists/appearances) and then everyone wins.
