He's so good playing on the shoulder of the last defender. He loves running in behind and his pace causes chaos for the defense. Play him next to a big number 9 who can hold it up and flick it on and he'll be in his element. I follow Werder Bremen so I've watched him a lot. I'd be over the moon if we signed him. He's got good work ethic too, will run all day and chase nothing balls as well as track back if needed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you describe him that way, he sounds a bit like Maupay. Which would surely suit Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the similarities, definitely. Although Rashica isn't dirty at all and Maupay is a bit of a scumbag If we played him next to a big number 9, with Grealish out wide creating the chances, he'd score double figures I reckon. Good finisher. For what it's worth, I don't think we'll sign him. Will probably stay in Germany I'd guess. Has there actually been a solid link to us?

GingerCollins29 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I dont know a lot about him. Some saying hes a winger, some a striker, some a false 9. Where would he fit into our 11 if he joined tomorrow and our first game was thursday?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have time try and find Bremen's 6-1 win over Koln on the last day of the season. They needed to win by 4 goals (as they thought at kick off) and they really went for it. Was a great game but Rashica was like a man possessed. It was one of the best individual performances I've seen for ages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on our current available squad I'd do this... -------------Davis ------- Rashica -------- Grealish -------------------------- Trez ---- -----------McGinn ----- Luiz -------------- Obviously would change with signings and if Wesley was fit I'd put him instead of Davis. I actually think Wesley and Rashica together could bring the best out of each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I really really want this guy. He plays for such a crap team but he shows up in the big games. He looks so good on the ball and he creates a decent number of chances as well. He'd look really good with Jack and a decent number 9 I think.

He sort of floats around in the final third, usually central when I watched a fair few games of Bremen in the run in last season. He had a few injury issues as he was constantly subbed around the hour mark in their last few games and the relegation play off. Think it's worth pointing out that while I'm very confident we'll keep Jack this summer one of our signings this summer could well be the long term Grealish replacement, Rashica or Benrahma would certainly fit that bill. Get them adapted to premier league and linking up with Jack this season and then in 12 months time they've adapted enough to become main creative hub of the team.

I imagine he'd fit somewhere. Edited August 12, 2020 by VillaHatesMe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Watching Rashica's highlights reminds me a lot of Jack's, in that I'm constantly finding myself saying "if this guy had a fooking team around him, he'd be phenomenal". Imagine Rashica, Grealish, and McGinn in a side together... We'd have to be the most fouled team in Europe, wouldn't we??? Dump the rest of the budget on the best free kick taking right winger in Europe and we'll be a huge threat from set pieces next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If we got Rashica, with him Jack and McGinn we'd have 3 outstanding ball carriers in the side. I can see a runner like Watkins really thriving in a team like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 7 hours ago, MotoMkali said: -mcginn-luiz- Buendia-Grealish-Rashica Watkins That is pretty good in attack and defense. As Buendia, grealish and watkins are all above average in their positions defensively and rashica seems to be very good at getting on the end of loose balls. Watkins could come back deeper and help defend and rashica or grealish could counter attack. That central midfield would be demolished every weekend.

Rashica is a striker and a bloody good one. Nobody is saying he's like Grealish, but Rashica is a drifting left winger, which is the position Grealiah has excelled last season. Seems nuts to force Grealish away from that position to sign a player who might not be better than Trez in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Rashica play on the right because that's what we need someone who can do the business on the right so we are not restricted to the left all the time and predictable.
