Will be interesting to see what kind of profile we target at CB if that's true. Would prefer a Botman style signing to someone like Andersen

 

In what respect? Anderson is basically a right sided Botman.

surely we’d want another Schar given his long range passing created us quite a few goals last season. Not that I expect there’s many of those around that we could afford.

Andersen is as close to Schar as you are going to get

Mostly in terms of age tbh, I think we could get someone with a higher ceiling for the long-term. Andersen almost feels like a pure rotational option to me.

 

Not to say he would be a bad signing, though.

Fair enough, I thought we'd target a bit more of an athletic profile, but Anderson is a really smart defender and deals with pace better than Schar.

Miggy's main weakness is his shooting, but he does still get goals. It will cost quite a lot to replace him, and given his other qualities re pressing, work rate, defensive willingness, I can understand why it's not the priority right now.

 

We could have had Diaby remember, but while he's far better going forward, he's supposed to be a liability going the other way. I think he'll suit Villa far better than he ever would have us.

His main weakness is that he’s just not that good at football.

Needs more baller I guess.

He does.  Not only is he extremely one footed, it’s like he can only control or strike a ball from certain limited body shapes. He often has to run around the ball to control it.  He doesn’t strike the ball well a lot of the times.  Passing by a predictable. He’s got lots of good things to his game and his pressing sets the standard. But we need another option imo

Nah, he's a midfielder. :bluestar:

 

Sorry, have been confused so many times this summer when I see Anderson's name mentioned in weird contexts before realising they are talking about Andersen.
