That is not a Jack Grealish back up he plays on the opposite side and a major step down. In this imaginary world where we can afford them this month Benrahma is the best back up for someone like Jack out of that bunch. Sarr would have been my top choice for the right. Also Buendia is nothing like Traore like Kiwi said but he is wrong on Sarr Last season he was mostly injured. Yes he plays the opposite side but still he's a similar player. We won't get anyone who'll be close to Grealish, but he's a real quality and would make us stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarr was very patchy last season. I swear some people are on a hype train with some players but have barely watched them I haven't watched Buendiat too much but I did watch Sarr. I think Watford was the second most team that I've been watching last season. Sarr is quality, I noticed him against us when we lost there 3-0. Then I started pointing at him as a threat in each game they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was apprehensive to share in the first place for fear of abuse. Surely he knows he's due the friendly banter though? lol EDIT: And obviously we hope nothing else has happened, not normal of him to be away so long. Many of us know how banter works, how to dish it out and take, i love it. Unfortunately there are many on social media and a few on here who don't know the difference between banter and nasty bitchy comments that come across as nothing like banter and more like tinpot keyboard warrior bullying. If a poster has heard something, lets hear it, it matters not one jot if the link happens or not, it gives us something to talk about, to have a laugh about etc. Hope said poster comes back on soon as I for one like what he has to say. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordVillan Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Perhaps it’s being greedy, and maybe unrealistic to some, but I still think we need better cover at CB and RW/LW. If it’s possible to strike whilst we’re hot then we should, if finances allow. Mepham would surely have an interest in returning to the Premier League and has obviously worked with Dean Smith previously, so I think he’d be a decent shout as CB cover. Sarr is probably the obvious choice for RW/LW, can also fill in at CF. I don’t see Sarr happening as I think we’ll go with Traore and Trezeguet at RW, Sarr does the majority of his good things on RW. So the glaring hole then is probably LW, and for that reason I probably wouldn’t rule out a move for Benrahma. If that proves to be too expensive then maybe Isaac Success could be a decent back up, if only so we can have Marvellous and Success in the same squad. Stanislas at Bournemouth could be a decent and cheap backup at LW if we want a bit more depth. All that said, I can see us sticking with ElGhazi as the option at LW/RW. I think we needed to shift him to be able to bring anyone else in. So just cover at CB! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is a money making machine despite Woodward's best efforts. Unreal what Ferguson did for that club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, what we've got will be enough to see us comfortable. I think the next two transfer windows will be where we upgrade the squad with end of contract departs (Elmo/Taylor/Lansbury) and assessment of squad players (Engels/Hause/AEG/Davis). We should see current players progress along with academy graduates. Finally seems like we're implementing a plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villan4Life Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) One to look possibly look at for January or next summer:- Ibrahima Niane of FC Metz has started the season on fire. He's 21 years old from Senegal and plays as a left winger but can also play in centre too. He has 6 goals in 6 games so far this season and is currently top scorer in Ligue 1.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2020 12 hours ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Agreed, love him, but as ridiculous as it sounds, we probably could have had even MORE goals if he had a bit more quality and composure. Sometimes the game just runs away from him ( Control, decision making etc ) It's like he has to be at 1000 percent focus all the time to be on par. Anyway don't want to slate him because his attitude and work is exemplary. Does a lot of good work. He got an assist and put at least another 2 on a plate for Watkins. That we didn't have even more goals to our name is definitely not down to Trezeguet. Just goes to show how once an idea takes hold, in this case that Trez isn't quite up to it, it's pretty hard to shake. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
