AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Well, Longstaff might lose his place. I agree though, it's mainly Willock's finishing that costs us time and time again. Hopefully he'll be doing extra shooting in pre-season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some areas, but not in others. The work he does is unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 @Coffee_Johnnywas bang on. Thought we'd announce it as we did with Bruno and do the media later. I guess there's no rush with this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Not the end of the world if we do, but you'd hope we won't be going into the season with Almiron and Murphy as the main men for the RW spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where Dom Slob comes in perhaps? We are definitely getting one more big signing if they are available. They will max out our FFP limits each window.

If ASM is staying (which is great imo) then you also have Gordon who’s decent, arguably better, on the right as well tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying you're wrong but if we're after a RW I don't see why we'd target someone who's spent about 10% of their appearances playing that position (according to transfermarkt). Then again, if Howe is seeking more fluidity, with players that can play multiple positions, then Szoboszlai would make sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Hopefully we get a left back and a left footed right winger. We can really strengthen our starting 11 in those positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I'd personally be much more in favour of a RW/AM hybrid like DS than an out-and- out winger. The flexibility of bringing them into the middle against low blocks while playing someone else out wide could be a real difference maker. That said, it's nice to be in a situation where the level of trust and confidence in the club is such that I'll be second guessing myself a little bit if we go down a different route with targets.

I think and hope that’s why we’d go for Dom then, he is capable of playing both flanks, an attacking mid and in the middle as an all arounder apparently.

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...

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...

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...
