  1. Exactly who I want as well, good player and would give us that new right back we want whilst also being able to play in other positions as cover too
  2. I saw that Rafa Silva at Benfica is out of contract in the summer. 30 years old, plays as a number 10 but can also play wide and has 20+ caps for Portugal as well. 7 goals and 6 assists in 22 league and champions league games this season. Always thought he looked a good player and could be someone to potentially pick up relatively cheaply to add more firepower/options up front?
  3. Lenglet excellent, passing his been Pau-like. Ramsey needs to wake up a bit, we've actually been poor since the 2nd goal and need to stop giving the ball away so cheaply in midfield
  4. I think another loan to a top level championship club or lower premiership league club (like Burnley) would be ideal so we can see if he can consistently deliver over a full season. If he can, great. We either have an asset that could be worth £25m next year or a player we can integrate into our squad. If his performances are a bit sporadic and he has injuries again, I still think we'd fetch around the £10m that's being quoted now. I don't have a problem with the club selling academy players (and for FFP I think it's going to be vital moving forwards) but I think he's someone we need a little more patience with
  5. I watched the game back last night. Kamara played a lovely ball for Archer to win the penalty and also played a great, long crossfield ball to Digne in the lead up to our first goal. He was maybe a bit quieter in his aggression (it is pre-season) but for me, he has to start because of his defensive qualities. Can't remember a time when we had this quality of options in our central midfield though? Great problem to have
  6. I watch the weekly highlights for Ligue 1 and he seemed to score or contribute every week last season and looked like one of the best players in the league. I've always liked him and if we can get him back to that level for a minimal outlay, it's a no brainer for me.
  7. I really don't get some of the negativity although not surprised. It's his first pre-season with the players, some of whom probably wouldn't have considered joining us without him and he's trying out players in different formations in non competitive games. Isn't that the point of pre-season games? Yes the first half was a bit shit but it showed that we have a stronger squad now than we've had for years and the competition for places should keep everyone on their toes. If he continues to pick favourites regardless of form and stick to formations that aren't working (in competitive matches) then I think it's fair to criticise him.
  8. RLC has always been a bit of an enigma to me. He has all the attributes you could want in a midfielder, he's tall, strong, reasonably quick, good dribbler who can drive through midfield, decent passing etc. One thing I always notice when I watch him though is that his off the ball work rate just doesn't seem to be there? He could be an absolute monster in midfield but just seems to lack that real tenacity on the defensive side
  9. Excellent away performance and Martinez didn't have a save of note to make all game. Cash MOTM for a goal, assist and also a vital goal line clearance just after half time too but everyone was pretty solid. Front 3 look like they are clicking and the midfield was pretty decent too. I honestly can't remember a time when our bench looked as strong as it looked tonight either? UTV! Ps Ted Lasso has got his work cut out
  10. Yeah, would have been a good signing in the summer but looks like he's doing well at Atalanta who are probably the most entertaining team in Europe
  11. I don't think we've ever really replaced Tonev tbh
  12. I'm not sure who's out there that's similar (Kessie?), but a player in the mould of Wilfred Ndidi would do wonders for our team.
  13. I'm with you on this but I also think they'll be games where we use 4-2-3-1 as well, maybe against some of the weaker teams where Jack or Emi could play as the number 10 and then Traore or AEG come in on either the right or left to give us more of a goal threat. Nice to have some good options!
  14. Haha. I was watching it back thinking "Christ, I hope that's not the left back we've been linked with" as it looked like Dumfries was annihilating him
  15. Only saw the highlights but looked like he had a bit of a mare?
