KaKa Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 19 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: We were talking about captain as in wearing the armband. However you are spot on about leaders and we definitely need more if Tripps is going. Guehi would help fill that void. Trippier leaving certainly makes this deal a lot more valuable.

SUPERTOON Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 One positive with this deal if it does go through, is that he should form a good partnership with Schar really quickly. He’s been playing with Andersen who is pretty much a Schar clone for a few years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernmag Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I'm in NZ and have news - we signed another training goalkeeper. And Guehi for 90m. Plus add ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how many leaders this squad has, and adding Guehi as another is sound thinking. Who really cares who wears the armband? I think the character element is the most persuasive part of getting him in. Everything I've heard about him is incredibly positive on that side. I do wonder if we have enough credit in the bank on that side of things to afford ourselves one dickhead to help bridge the gap at RW for a couple of seasons, though.

madras Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 9 minutes ago, UpTheToon said: They are both pretty poor in the air? BDB required if they both play. Poor is harsh. Can't remember any game I've came out if and thought "Schar was dominated in the air there" and those stats it's based on need nuance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I don't see it as a major issue, however I think Howe will. He liked having Burn at LB for his extra height even with Botman playing CB so I can see him wanting to play Kelly at LB at least against certain opposition that are a bit more physical.

I'm unclear on how conditional elements of fees work, too. If (let's say) £10m is based on us qualifying for the CL at least once during his first 5 years with us, and we didn't do that until year 3, how is that handled?

"poor" may be over the top but I'm sure I saw they were ranked next to each other in 70 odd place for defenders heading ability in the prem. Agree that Schar doesn't appear to lose many in a match but is that because of match ups and we have someone else against the oppositions better header? not sure.

Zero Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) Guehi is replacing Schar. It would be Guehi + Botman / BDB and Schar on bench. Surprised that now the deal is 60m worth. If that’s the real price that it’s fine to me Edited August 22 by Zero Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 3 hours ago, alexf said: Stick by my original thoughts, that he's not as good as he's made out to be. People convince themselves when there is a large fee involved, just had a decent tournament for England and therefore is being hyped by media, that we are getting one of the best defenders in the world. He isn't. I think he is steady and will make the squad stronger, but he won't transform our fortunes. But for our record signing we sort of need more than that don't we? Happy to hold my hands up and be proved wrong if he helps fire us back into Champions league this season. Basically where I’ve been from day one. Only reason I want us to get HIM is he’s is who EH wants it seems and I back his judgement. Anything over £52m is an overpay and will be used against us down the line in negotiations for other players which just makes the deal even more expensive. If there’s no major update by tomorrow lunchtime I’ll be surprised. Trust the process though either way 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
