Popular Post M_Afro Posted July 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2021 We are in a good position with AEG. If a decent bid comes in we should sell him and cash in whilst he is possibly close to peak value. Otherwise let him be a useful part of the squad. He is a good pro and will continue to work hard even if he isn’t playing. It’s a pretty good position to be in. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Academy players seem to have caught-up, if not surpassed him technically. His main attributes now are his experience and penalty taking ability, not much else. Besides the penalties last few seasons he's scored some of the most ridiculous back post, how did he shape his body to score that, goals plus a few worldies. Also amazing run and cross for Samatta LC final goal and promotion final goal. That said weak in other areas but not a bad squad player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I love el ghazi to bits but I think we are outgrowing him now. And whilst we have rich owners and can spend spend spend there also has to come a point where we have to sell some assets to balance it off a little. Anwar is probably at his most saleable now and I think if we were to get a shiny new winger we could see him getting sold. Mind you I still have him ahead of trez in the pecking order so he may also be an option to sell - he still has reasonable reputation himself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I rate El Ghazi, I think he's a very decent squad player, and I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him for another season. I do agree with the sentiments though that he's probvably at his most saleable now though, so it's a big summer for him. If we do bring in Bailey (or similar) and Philogene-Bidace shows he's worthy of the step up then it might be time for Anwar to leave. If he does go he goes with nothing but good wishes, he scored the opener in the playoff final and a shed load of important goals last season. A very good signing for what we paid.

Phil Silvers Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Not sure if it's been mentioned but I'd like to see Emi taking all set piece plays, let's see what he brings before the season starts, not sure what instructions they'd been given last but I felt AEG pulled rank over Emi.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 He really is a confidence player: when he's on a streak, he walks differently. When he's hitting duds, his posture is totally different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Ahhh just sell him to Arsenal for 50 mill, they can put him on 120k a week on a ten year contract, be fine it will or we ask Trade for ESR now that would annoy them Edited July 22, 2021 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s effective enough without being brilliant and doesn’t strike me as the type to kick up a fuss. In fact, almost the opposite - I feel that if he knows he’s “loved” and comfortable with where he is then he’ll do ‘well enough’ and I think we saw that last season. Perfect squad player. I have absolutely no idea what this would be unpopular. We know he shouldn't be starting every week for an ambitious Premier League club, but we also know that if that happens sporadically, or even for any extended period of time, he is at least going to score goals.

lexicon Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 If he has the ball within 30 yards of goal, 99 times out of 100 he shoots. Sometimes it works out, a lot of the time he misses finding a teammate in a better position. He's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I am happy for AEG to be part of the squad but I would also sell if anyone offered £10m+. He is a good lad but my goodness he is limited. He gets turned over so much, rarely takes on his man and never passes if he gets a sniff of goal. It feels like a natural time for us to part to be honest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 In the first half El Ghazi had three good chances to score. I really like the guy but cannot see him starting many matches for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Was bright enough, there were times when himself, Ollie and Buendia could all have played each other in for goals but each shot instead, a little bit of rustiness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came to say the same. They both combined well and it looks like a partnership that could develop. I respect AEG and how he is developing himself. I want him to do well, he has always has this directness about him I like, maybe an overhang of his being managed by Bielsa previously. He always wants to move the ball closer to the oppositions goal, by carrying pass or preferably shooting. I just dig him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It’s just a good time to sell him, if the interest is there. We should get a decent fee. On the other hand, can he improve and go up another level or two with better players around him? A more confident and successful team? He needs to be better in build up play, stop breaking down or ending our attacks so easily and often… a bit more intelligent with his shooting too, can be wasteful and would do well to look up and pick out a teammate in a better position at times… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 If the Rumours are true we should sell ghazi and use the funds to add to securing Bailey, that would be my plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Mourinho wants him at Roma? Probably a good move for Anwar. Another player who has played a pivotal part over the last few years for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
