Mind, he didn’t do too bad against Villa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I don't think we could have done any better than this TBH, whether it works out is a different question for me. Unless we were going down the route of multiple £60m players in one window. Admittedly Hall and Livramento both carry a risk, but they'd be in the best place to develop.

Can't remember why but I was wiki'ing Les Ferdinand the other day and he's 60 in 4 years time man. 60. Haris Vuckic is 31 He should still be our promising youngster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, fair comment. It's 10/10 for effort, which is all we've ever wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Whilst our stealth has improved, our speed still needs to catch up. Now this appears to be happening I imagine it doesn't get to the confirmation/signed point till around the middle of next week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Another point, that £75m budget Craig Hope was touting has been nicely stretched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I imagine Hall will be a bit like a defensive version of Anderson for us this season - played in multiple positions to suit circumstance/opposition to help his development. We know Howe loves a settled defence so I feel Burn stays as first choice as long as the unit looks strong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Eddie seems to like an English signing. We could field and entire 11 of English players and still have a pretty impressive line up and not some shitty Burnley EDL types, actual exciting highly rated talents.

STM Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Burn, Hall, Livramento and Trippier.... Targett will be sold if the correct offer comes in. Especially with FFP breathing down our neck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kocunar Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 The same way after numerous links Livramento felt like someone we are actually going for... this gives me the same feeling. Hopefully it's a done deal soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 His preferred position is midfield apparently. Which is the only thing that bothers me about this transfer. Hopefully this is something that has been discussed behind the scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Happy with this. A high fee for a youngster but I guess the "par" for transfers have changed dramatically. If players like Hall, Tino and Botman carry on improving we will have a basis for a settled defence for years. So the possibly inflated fees we are paying now could seem like bargains in years to come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a knack for getting the best out of them and culturally the English football mindset fits his system. Hard yards, high energy, high intensity and dynamic in transition. If English talent is being overlooked or being made available, then let's snap them up. They fit well with what Eddie does. This must be exciting for you guys. If he signed just one quality Naija player ... man I'd be on cloud 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
