The College Dropout Posted May 31, 2024 Share Posted May 31, 2024 Funny thing about Gordon - he's a bit of a bully at SJP but not the best away from home. Like of his 20 odd G/A. 15+ were at home I think. Most players are better at home but his record is particularly home-focussed. You would think he would be better away from home with more space on the counter but it ain't the case so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 31, 2024 Share Posted May 31, 2024 Granted Mbuemo had a nasty ankle injury this season, but his injury record is impeccable otherwise. If it was between him and Olise I think I'd prefer Mbuemo as Olise seems to have a hamstring made out of uncooked spaghetti. Links with Olise, Tierny, Smith Rowe, Chiesa etc scare the hell out of me, especially after this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, you’re right, but it’s equally reflective of the way the team as a whole has played home v away this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandrotastico Posted May 31, 2024 Share Posted May 31, 2024 Think we can find better. Decent player but not sure he adds much guile and creativity to the mix. Which I think we are lacking. Rather Olise or the like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, think that's why he is uniquely good again the best / top 6 teams, they actually try to win majority of the time and as a result leave some space behind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From players named: Olise Mbeumo MGW MGW is right footed. Don't want him on the right. Matias Soule looks the playmaker type to me. Decent pace but not Gordonesque. As a result he seems to have prospered by good decision making and excellent technical execution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted May 31, 2024 Share Posted May 31, 2024 Can't we just buy some random young foreign lad I've never heard of from a team I've never heard of for a pittance? I love those signings. Just find some random 20 year old in the Chilean second division and bring him in just for the mystery! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 31, 2024 Share Posted May 31, 2024 Think Mbuemo makes sense as can play across the front 3 and seems to assist and score goals. Cant see us being in the mix for Sesko, or an out and out striker and can fully see Wilson still being here next season. No way will Howe want to lose another experienced voice in dressing room after recent releases. Still think where lacking a creative player like Bruno Fernandes who would make all the difference and for me that’s why we’ll probably still come up a bit short next season in terms of winning a cup, but fully expecting us to be challenging for top 4 with no Europe.

The highs of anticipation of the Christian Bassedas & Daniel Cordone transfers was not worth the persistent lows of watching them play and fail. I want surprises, but not that big of a surprise.

buzza Posted May 31, 2024 Share Posted May 31, 2024 (edited) I would like the brazilian kid from Atalanta, very good presser and defensive holder but can also play a bit (used to be a 10). Would free up Bruno amd we could go to a more attacking 4231 or something similar. Would prefer to see bruno further up the pitch this season.

We are much better at home. It makes sense that he performs better at SJP because the team in general do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted June 1, 2024 Share Posted June 1, 2024 (edited) This could be seen as ’new money’ arrogant but I don’t think Mbeumo is the RW purple everyone has been dreaming of every transfer window since the takeover. I see him more as a squad player for current NUFC. Would be a decent buy for £20-25m but I don’t see that much value for the £40m+ it would probably take to get him. That money would be pretty close to getting you Olise if the release clause rumours are true and we could beat all the other suitors.

Ederson would be a great signing and would give us 4 elite midfield players on paper, he’d definitely fit the bill as a Howe midfielder and think he’d be our best defensive one when needed to plug that gap. If we go down the Mbuemo route I think Howe is going full on Klopp, with 3 pressing midfielders and 3 forwards in the Diaz,Gakpo and Jota mould. If that’s the case another top line midfielder to cover Bruno and Joelinton injuries is essential. The drop off to Bruno getting injured would be Longstaff and Anderson, if we’re relying on a 4-3-3 we need another top drawer midfielder to compete over a season.
