I’ll start it for you. Fat bloke down the pub says we are signing a winger. Maybe two. Plus a midfielder or a defender but definitely not a goalie. All our signings will be good or rubbish. We are definitely not signing anyone from Belgium, unless they are Brazilian or Egyptian. There you go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, who? Especially among wingers and strikers. Genuine question. mitrovic... his goal ratio is double in the championship, if you take out his 1st year with Newcastle when for some reason he only got 4 in 25 games then his ratios go to 21 goals in 77 PL appearances compared to 38 goals in 57 championship games im really not sold on him as a £25-30m striker option 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a championship striker and nothing more. Like Dwight Gayle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizzler Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Surprised Sarr isn’t being mentioned more - class player, and has the pace we’re so lacking. Imagine he’ll move on from Watford this summer. Would also love Brentford to lose, so we can nick Benrahma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Brazilians is that they're usually either very focused, well-behaved or the 'party guy'. I'd say Douglas Luiz and Wesley are leaning on the well-behaved side but Everton surely looks a party guy to me. There are even rumors on European Clubs staying away from him because of this.

In Mitrovic's first season with Newcastle he scored 9 goals in 34 games. Not a bad return in his first season in England. He then scored 4 in 25 games in the Championship but with Gayle being the main striker. He scored 12 goals in 17 games in the Championship for Fulham, and 26 goals in 40 goals this season. His season in the PL returned 11 goals from 37 games; however this was in a really, really poor Fulham side in the PL. For example Tammy Abraham scored 23 goals for Bristol City in the Championship and 25 goals for us. But in the PL in a poor Swansea side he only managed 5 goals in 31 games. This season he played in a good Chelsea side in the PL and his return looks more respectable with 15 goals in 34 games, despite being on the bench in some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good in the air and on the floor and has agression, something our team has lacked. His record for exceptionally poor teams in the Premier league is a goal every 3 games or just over.

Berardi would be fantastic, but I think he's probably beyond us. I like Boga from Sassuolo as well, brilliant ball carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the clip consistent with his play or does he create many chances? has a lot of assists? and scores goals? or is he a trick master but not great end product. Just wondering for those that have watched a lot of him I wouldn’t expect him to show up and score 10 goals, but the eyes and numbers suggest he would be a boon to our attacking capabilities. Excellent with the ball at his feet and can dribble as well as pass. We don’t have nearly enough of that in our team at present. 3 hours ago, nick76 said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
