Then again, if Howe is seeking more fluidity, with players that can play multiple positions, then Szoboszlai would make sense. That includes all games including youth etc. Since moving to Leipzig he's played most of his football on the right hand side either right wing or RM - with a the rest of the time mostly as a central AM. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dominik-szoboszlai/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/451276 Personally I think a player like that who can play wide or attacking midfield is exactly what we need.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Aye, didn’t actually realise how much The Mighty Bosz played on the right last season. Good to have the versatility to rotate Miggy in and out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if our front 3 options could be 3 out of: Left: Maximin, Gordon, Joelinton Centre: Isak, Wilson Right: Dom, Miggy, Gordon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the way we played most of last season. Only when ASM played did we really have an out and out winger. We did very well having players who could use the width without being wingers. If that makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 He's been by far the most reliable person this summer. Way beyond the journos. Any others that he's already mentioned without me having to go through his full timeline? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 He said we were going to sign Minteh way back in January. No idea where he gets his info from but it's weirdly accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Only dodgy one so far has been that he said Tierney was done & dusted (iirc) and it's seemingly gone very quiet since. He might still end up being right, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think so, it’s really high and we aren’t prone to panic this early on the window. If the noises from the club are true we are ahead of schedule and this going totally daft shouldn’t be needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbee909 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 When we weren't in the CL, getting players was all about the CL. Now some trad top teams aren't in the CL, it doesn't matter so much? Bleh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is true that it was essentially Szboszlai or Maddison and that Man City going for Gvardiol would stop it from happening at all, then I'm sure it'll either come into their thinking or they'll consider another player. We've really taken our time on this AM/RW hybrid player despite it always seeming to be a priority target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah given what I’ve read he seems perfect for us, the price Is very high and I really feel we need a left back. Too bad nobody is in a hurry to take some of our players.

He pops up on my timeline and as someone else mentioned he comes across as a bit of a knob when talking like a fan (slagging off the slogan “we don’t want a team that wins we want a club that tries” etc etc) but I’ve been taking note of late of his transfer info and he’s definitely getting fed decent info. Transfers can always take a quick twist and make any ITK look foolish but generally his tweets have been accurate and backed up with sensible thinking ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
