Erikse Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 (edited) 1 hour ago, KaKa said: One thing you absolutely cannot do with a player that favours a particular foot, is not have any full back support on the outside. They often paired him with Wan Bissaka who did not overlap and isn't great in forward areas. Was very easy to just double up on Antony. At Ajax his full back over lapped and the central midfielders on his side under lapped too, which opened up a lot more for him, and created space. Ten Hag is so bad it's untrue. It's true that it's hard to judge Anthony based on his time at Man Utd. Likewise it's also hard to judge whether he can perform in the Prem based on his time at Ajax. MLS is ofcourse not on the same level as Eredivisie, but Almiron looked like CR7 over there. I think he would look like a completely different player in Eredivisie aswell, if he went there. Besides, wouldn't Anthonys wage demand be pretty high? Man Utd often give players like him pretty high wages. Edited September 9 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked with him when he was at Ajax and so would imagine we'd have information based on his time there and what he did in the Champions League also. Ajax setup afforded him a lot more space and passing options to allow him to dribble, score and create. Miggy's biggest problem with us IMO, is that he isn't a right winger. He played behind the striker and on the left in the MLS. On the left he is far more confident using his pace to push the ball down the line on his strong side. We saw this under Rafa who used him on the left and Ayoze on the right. On the right side Miggy doesn't really dribble at all, because he can't go down the line with his pace. There's no real trickery to his take on ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 There’s surely going to be a lot of desire to get some business done in January to try to make up for the shitshow this summer.

Potentially be some competition by then, but if not, it’ll definitely be a test of Parish’s ego. Refuse to accept much less than what you wanted in the summer, or hold out and probably get substantially less next summer? Obviously Palace’s league position (good or bad) could influence things as well like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 We won't be as desperate for Guehi in January with Botman (and Lascelles) coming back then. Obviously we will still need the long term Schär replacement that Guehi would have been, but we should be able to wait until the summer if they are trying to take the piss.

The line “it’s a difficult window to buy in” isn’t going to cut it They should be doing ground work now, line up a couple young squad players, knowing we've done something and take the pressure off. Every day that goes by in Jan the pressure increases, as does our desperation and the asking price of our targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Botman and Lascelles being much use let alone starting till at least the Spring. It takes a long, long time to recover from ACLs, and the history of this injury type suggests these two players will only back up to scratch come the 25/26 season.

M1tche Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 52 minutes ago, The Butcher said: This would be an exceptional signing, finally a second player that can play the 6, him a Bruno as a double pivot would be class and both can play the 8. IMO it would leave is with 5 top midfielders, 2 of which are champions league level, with the other 3 not really too far off that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
