Unbelievable Posted August 24, 2024 Share Posted August 24, 2024 3 minutes ago, Matt1892 said: I will rephrase that to take in to account that Howe doesn’t specifically negotiate and sign players… I cannot believe Howe would willingly advocate the club not signing players this window when money is available. I think Howe rates his own players fairly highly, more so than the average fan who will say the likes of Almiron, Murphy and Krafth are “utter shite” and would deem it a disaster if we had to rely on them in any capacity. Eddie will see opportunity and consider solutions rather than throw a hissy fit imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he will throw a public hissy fit but he will be disappointed that the club failed to bring in the quality he needs if they expect him to push on, especially when the clubs around him are strengthening. He will also know that if our form suffers because we haven’t strengthened like those around us, then it becomes difficult to keep our better players. That might not be his problem though, as if we don’t get European football then he will be gone at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but it’s a bit harsh sacking him if you’ve brought in no new starting 11 options. Granted if we do and he finishes outside Europe then fair enough.

Yes, good thing Howe always stuck rigidly to everyone's main position and kept with Joelinton upfront. Dumbass. 18 hours ago, Weezertron said: At times Howe has been the leader of the out of position nonce brigade. Nah he hasn't, he's done it when there hasn't been much, if any choice. These people are talking about cramming the perceived best players into our starting line-up when everyone is fit. I've even seen rabbeling about playing Livramento on RW because he may turn out to be the next Bale because he is quick and came from Southampton Proper weirdos.

If he can be bought for £20 million or less 100%. Given the current prices, his age and position I think it would be hard to lose at that price. My main concern would be that from the little I've seen of him he's quite stylistically similar to Murphy while I feel we need someone with a bit more skill and trickery to them.

Displayname Posted August 25, 2024 Share Posted August 25, 2024 15 hours ago, Unbelievable said: Howe doesn’t make the signings. i’m not overly worried about new incomings. Would love a RW and RCB to come in, but would understand the club don’t want to overpay (70m for Guehi and/or 60m for Madueke would be ridiculous). If there are no good deals to be done for players who would really improve us I can accept the club going with what we’ve got for a big push in January and next summer. There is no need to but for the sake of buying. If we’re not too unfortunate with injuries we have the squad for European football, perhaps even CL at a push. I do believe CL should be our aim, but any deal has to make sense financially and in terms of squad strengthening. Agree that we shouldn`t buy anyone if we cant get a good deal. Poor job by whoever is in charge of the signings if we cant find one though, they have had all summer to look for one(or two). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really nothing like Murphy? Granted my opinion is based on a couple of highlight compilations and maybe two matches last season that I watched but not intently. Based on these he's quick, direct, got a rocket shot on him and isn't avert to getting to the touchline and whipping one in, all characteristics I'd say Murphy has. He's more of a goal threat than Murphy and is left footed and the player he seems to be stylistically closest to in our squad is actually Gordon but I didn't feel this comparison was relevant as he's not going to replace/compete with Gordon while he would be expected to do that with Murphy or Almiron. A totally different player to Murphy for me would be someone like Silva who relies of positional awareness to find pockets of space and great close control and skill to make things happen. Anyway I'd love us to go for him if we were able to move on Murphy or Almiron as I think that would upgrade the RW options this season and if needed we could still go big on a RW next season.
