Back up is ok but if Isak is out we may become toothless upfront again why has buying enough players to fit your basic objectives become so damn difficult Other way round for me. He seems more of a striker than a wide player, that's how I've always viewed him, although tbf I've not watched him that extensively. I think he would do fine as rotation for Isak.

A risk in terms of JP not being used to that position, rather than him not being quality in general. More of a free role from that position would work IMO. Especially because of how well Tino gets up and down the line to provide width. Would allow for Pedro to come inside and find spaces to pick up playing off Isak. Bruno could then be a bit more reserved in how much he pushes forward too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always seemed an odd bid, given his lack of physicality, but it showed we were possibly willing to play with a playmaker on the wing. Joelinton too isn't your traditional winger but Howe's played him RW. Edited 17 hours ago by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago It's going to be strange spending £60m on a player who probably doesn't start in our best XI (unless he really can be pushed to RW). Depth, versatility and fluidity are crucial for next season, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Poch often played Palmer on the right wing, but he had freedom to find spaces to influence the game by coming inside, with Gusto overlapping. Was very effective. Could see a similar setup if Pedro is played there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyn davies Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago We don't seem to want to place a lower offer for players. Is that a good thing . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago As been said, this makes sense. Want it to go through, would be a good and logical signing as he can cover RW as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago The transfer window pendulum of panic and impatience has finally taken hold. Barely a week in haha. I still think its a bit crazy price wise but this is a player we have wanted and scouted extensively for a LONG time at this point. He is acclimatized to the league too. IF the money is there its probably okay to stretch higher for a player we are convinced will be a hit. All the noises about him wanting to come and being open to playing anywhere across the front line has also swung me into the hope this happens and slightly dissapointed if it doesn't. Expect Chelsea to swoop in 3...2...1... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
