WideopenMag Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 3 minutes ago, BullyDogs said: For a winger his assist stats are piss poor and thats one of the main reasons trippiers are so high. Trippier is in essence doing what Almiron should be doing from that right hand side. Because Almiron cannot use his right leg for anything other than standing on it though he simply wont create them chances This I think we've looked better with Murphy their at times because of this exact reason.

Shak Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 3 hours ago, SUPERTOON said: Wide player you mean ? Can’t see 2 coming in, Barnes and Gordon left, Miggy and new RW right ? Aye, one new right winger would be good. I do think adding another top CF would do wonders for us too. Remember how off their fucking tits Isak and Wilson were playing together late in games last season? And it just hasn't been an option this year. I really think there'd be more than enough minutes available for both Isak and (for example) Osimhen if we brought in another CF, and it wouldn't mean just shunting Isak out wide.

Ronaldo Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 4 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Do they need to be though? At least one does, yeah. Our most creative outlet by a mile is 33 year old RB. I don’t think it’s sustainable and away from home I think we lack the quality to playing effectively through the press into transition.

Wilson as is good as it gets without being elite level - he’s a first class PL goal scorer. We’ve two players for one position - to me, you’d want to get a young up and coming forward in as back-up, but an established star would likely eat up the entire budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 We aren't signing Osimhen because Isak is our Osimhen. We can debate whether we agree or not but that's how the club see him, so if we're signing a forward it'll be someone to take some of the load from him, not replace him as CF on a regular basis.

kingxlnc Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Imagine Osimhen as number 9 then Isak behind as number 10 then Barnes finishing on LF and Gordon on RF then Wilson and Almiron to bring on as sub. Now that is good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's already making good money, I think there is something special about building something from the ground up (in a realistic project) rather than trying to restore lost glory. Especially if you'll get the blame if things aren't fixed in two years. If he was a ManU fan then I would understand it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 "depth is an issue" Errrrr, we've got four senior keepers. I think what they mean is "the ones after Pope aren't good enough". Absolutely no point having Karius and Gillespie on the books if they can't even play a handful of games when called upon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
