SteV Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 2 hours ago, The College Dropout said: 1. I just don’t think we sign a LB. 2. I consider Burn a defensive weakness in the team. 3. The Livra fee is very high. He needs to be more than backup. We must think there’s a way we can play both at times. I don’t love it at all. But it is an option. His fee is lower than Gordon’s who you advocated going out on loan this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you the same people who wanted to play Isak on the wing so we could play both him and Wilson at the same time last season? Also on account of his age as well - every fan will want a cup run this season and we’re in another competition to boot on top of that we looked like we were on our arse at times towards the end of last season. I think tripps will be rotated a bit - especially in the lower rounds of the cup games but after that we’ll have to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think that’s fantastic. Edited August 5, 2023 by Gawalls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Is it not enough to play games with spending costs by bringing amortization into the equation now we're reclassifying timelines based on what might has been "originally planned" to adjust figures, can we not please can we not saw a small piece in "the mag" doing this earlier and almost lost it.

Howe played Isak LW until the last game, we beat Brighton 4-1 with him there in one of our best performances of the season? He's still better as a striker.

Aye but your point was that people need to stop suggesting Trippier for LB and your example was Howe shifting our best (but most versatile) striker out to the wing in order to accomdate Wilson? It just shows that Howe might be flexible in accomodating our best players in the starting XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis I was advocating loaning out Gordon. He needs a solid run in a functional top level side to develop his game and learn a proper role. If we had ASM, Joelinton, Barnes, Almiron + Murphy as backup - I would want Gordon loaned out. He would be 3rd choice at best for either wing. As it stands we need Gordon, he’ll get plenty of minutes. Livramento (if fit) will get loads of minutes to develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Novocastrian said: I get a bit nervous when Burn is on the ball but in fairness to him as a defender he’s more than adequate. I’m surprised he wasn’t exposed more often last season but he largely held his own even against the speedsters and Saka’s etc. It’s going forward where I think Burn’s shortcomings lie. We need an energetic, over-lapping LB to complement the threat down the right. I disagree that he largely held his own against top wingers. Saka ripped him to shreds at the Emirates until we went into a low block and the Joe’s held his hand. 4 hours ago, AyeDubbleYoo said: Don’t agree with 3, we are a CL club now and we need options. The fee isn’t that high for someone with his potential. We can’t spend CL club money due to FFP. Livra is like the 6th most expensive player in our squad. He cost more than both our leftbacks combined. I think the club think there must be a possible route for him to be a regular this season. As you say, with such potential they must think he could add real value this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Burn isn't great in an attacking perspective, from a defensive point of view, he's solid as a rock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even Akanji or Ake. Burn is slow running and turning. And has costly lapsed in concentration Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Would recommend giving this a watch regarding ACL’s. Hopefully Southampton took as much care if not more with Tino as Juventus did with Fede. Speaking of which for those wanting us to take a chance on Chiesa it’s probably worth a watch also ? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26593352/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
