Would be great if he was up for it though. His 24 goals and 13 assists across all comps this season was very impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be awesome though, his playing style would be perfect fit. I've watched Milikovic-Savic play several times and he's a little slow for the Premier League. He is a kind of Pogba who plays more advanced as a shadow striker. The hype around him was monstrous at the time of the 2018 World Cup, but he was very bad. Think about it, at the age of 28 he still hasn't managed to leave Lazio. There's something about him that doesn't appeal to the big European teams, unless he's being sold for a "discount", like now.

Stottie Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I would assume Pedro signed for Brighton so early in the window because we've not been back in for him, and the reason for that is we must have other striker targets lined up. Even if Pedro's first choice were Brighton, Watford would want to maximize the fee and not accept the first offer. It may well be someone old or young and versatile enough to play anywhere in the front three, but I would expect us to sign someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 4 hours ago, The College Dropout said: It's definite anti-British sentiment among football fans. It extends to players and coaches. It's not alone. It depends which players or coaches though. I'd take Rice or Foden in a heartbeat. Now I might have hated the idea of Gerrard or Lampard coming here as manager, but I was always keen on Howe, and would have been happy with Potter as well. I don't think it's anti-British sentiment, just no one wants to buy someone's cast offs. McTominay or Gallagher would have been good signings a year ago, now we are competing in the CL our sights might be set a bit higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 There's nothing anti-British about not wanting to sign McTominay or Gallagher. Most people are happy with the likes of Tierney, Maddison, Rice etc... Some of us just don't want to be scraping the bottom of barrel for players that aren't very good - Especially from Man Utd where we've been lumbered with pricks like Butt, Smith and Obertan over the years. I'd personally have a "no Man Utd cast offs" policy in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menace Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Anti-British sentiment ffs If anything its the british media that overhypes players/managers not the fanbase. Look at Gerrard/Lampard as managers - absolute dross yet the media never pulled them up on it. Same with Bruce. We were practically lunatics for criticising him. If someone is good at their job, their nationality has nothing to do with it. Edited May 31, 2023 by Menace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTominay or Gallagher would have been good signings a year ago, now we are competing in the CL our sights might be set a bit higher. It's not just on here. If Howe was foreign he would've gotten a bigger opportunity sooner than he did. He was even the second choice with us. Looking at his thread - he wasn't high up on many people's list here either. People were disappointed we didn't land Emery or others (some like Wullie and Klaus believed from day 1 tbf to them). Gallagher is not a cast-off.

nufc123 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Said Gallagher was the perfect Howe player some time ago, but every time we have come up against him he has faded. At least Mc offers some size and presence. Gallagher runs around but he doesnt do very much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
