I've written off Lansbury in the past but he's been one of stand out players in pre season. Good point I forgot about his attacking instincts due to BruceBall and injury ... still sell him though if an offer came in as he is hardly ever fit, and as I said his wages to what he offers are way out of sync..

MarkLillis Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I can say that after watching both of them a number of times last year that Benrahma and Maupay at the right price would be great business for a club in our position. I am also sure that there may well be similar or better value out there. But I don’t know who they are or who they play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 From what' I've seen of Santamaria he plays deep, but he's very good on the ball and is a very good passer and has a very good range with those passes, the kind of midfielder that in these modern times sometimes gets referred to as a 'quarterback'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his attitude let’s him down that’s why we got rid of him, that’s my opinion, probably completely wrong but I thought I’d throw it out there . Do you think he still has a chance to succeed at the highest level? I read his agents comments after he moved to Leicester and it sounded as if they were chasing the money, saying he had offers for more play time lower down the league's but he wanted to get the best deal for the player. That didn't sit well with me, potentially we offered him an extension to his contract that he rejected?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do if he sorts his head out, in terms of natural talent, he’s one the best I’ve seen come through our academy in recent years. I was lucky enough to see his first team debut at left back for us against Wigan Athletic, he was outstanding, constantly bombing on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Some rumours going around about Watkins going from GP to Crystal Palace, where Sørloth is part of the deal. Sørloth is a striker (I quite like him for the championship, but I digress), so I wonder if that means Maupay is moving ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
