Dr Venkman Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 6 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: I'm left-footed and only played casually but I had to play left-sided centre-back. I always felt awkward on the right-side it just didn't feel natural. @Dr Venkman I'm sure you were a lefty too? Might have been Duffy. I remember when we'd play for the Reds v Blues or NOFC I'd always have to send you to the right because I couldn't do it. You were a boatload better than me but if you were it'd be interesting to see if it was the same for you. Guessing because there's more right-footed players there'll be a lot more right-footed partnerships who've been used to playing LCB or ECB from a young age so it comes more naturally. I hated it though. Morning. No I’m right footed and have always been pretty useless with my left. We were a formidable partnership, though, no denying that.

Viana Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The slight issue with wrong footed CBs is similar to full backs really. Their weak foot being inverted (a lefty playing on the right for example) forces them inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’s a striker and we’ve got 2 good ones already but En-Nesryi would be right up our street. A hard-working, physical beast who (imo) is the most aerially dominant striker in world football. We were interested in DCL last year and this guy is already the player we thought he’d become. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant In terms of play style etc. he’s a perfect Howe player and would replace Wood as the target-man/ hold-up striker. He’s basically the big Kiwi on steroids.

Weezertron Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 What's left in the piggy bank? 30-50m depending how tight they want to get to ffp? Another midfielder and LB. CB cover and 3rd striker in Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's gone now. They know we are there and there's little they can do. They just have to look after themselves and treat us just as they treat others (that could easily change and expect a quick change of rules again should we "loan" Neves or some such). Then there's non Englush clubs who would just be after the best deal for themselves regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Nah. Poor control and technically not the best- sure- but he’s a good finisher, a big game player, a hard -worker and could jump over a building. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I don't think Harvey Barnes offers us much more than we've already got. Admittedly I've only seen Szoboszlai on You tube, but he shows those extra bits of class that attract attention. Captain of his country at 22 is also impressive.

Tsunami Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Don’t think Harvey Barnes is at the level or has the potential ceiling required for the money he’d cost. He seems to do pretty much everything at an ok level but looks pretty good at taking a chance which, imo makes him appear better than he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
