useless Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I've just hidden a post and now I don't know how to unhide it as I can't see it, but basically I think Brenden Aaronson at Salzburg looks a good player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 1 hour ago, DaveAV1 said: This is very important. We have some very talented strikers/wingers but if we don’t really control the ball in midfield or have the ability to release the talent we have up front, we’ll never get the proper value out of them. There’s a reason why the likes of Burnley play deep and defensive football, clogging up the midfield and breaking up play. They don’t have the creative players in midfield or up front, so when they go forward they bypass the midfield and rely on long balls and set pieces. By having a deeper play maker we can get more out of the talent in front of him. Taking a good free kick would be a nice change too. You can only use stats as a guide obviously and I can see where the No's to JWP are coming from but you have to do as you say and bare in mind Jim playing in a better team of players. Our only guide to this is the games he played for England, if someone could find those stats then we may have a clearer picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned him before as a player to keep an eye on.. still very raw but has bags of talent and potential… Been keeping an eye on him and Josh Sargent the past few seasons… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's American, I tend to have kept up with him at Schalke and Juve and both clubs fans rate and like him as far as I can tell. I think he would be great signing. Can play all over the midfield, can score and defend, and has a hardass demeanor if you will at times, that we need when games get tough.I would love love love for us to get him. As I said earlier in the thread, I do think it will take at least 25 but prob more than 30 to get him. I think he's worth it. 30 million for him seems like a bargain when you take into account the figures being mentioned for JWP. And as with alll American footballers at the minute, World Cup in 2026. Marketing opportunities and money, money, money. So paying a little over the odds now might turn out to be a sound investment in the long run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) I think the hide post is basically the same thing as deleting it, as I can't find a way of unhiding it. Presumably it's called 'hide' instead of delete, because 'mods' can still see it. It went something like this: I wondered if we might go for Brenden Aaronson, I've watched him a few times and he looks a good player. I didn't write this down but also thought: 'if it's true that we want a versatile attacking midfielder he could be that option, an alternative to Cantwell, if there was ever any truth to that link'.

jacketspuds Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I think Arsenal spending £50m on White, and us selling Grealish for £100m, has pushed the price of experienced English talent even higher than before. That’ll be one of the reasons why Ward-Prowse, although a high price at £50m, is probably the going rate for a player of his ability and experience. I guess the question is do we want to take a calculated risk on a player from another European league, or go with tried and tested at a higher price. Personally, I think Ward-Prowse would be a quality signing. However, if we’re not going for him I would like us to go for Boubacar Kamara because he looks class and knows Sanson. I do think we need another attacking player, hopefully Damsgaard, as we’ve replaced Grealish and Barkley, but I felt that we needed something better as cover for Grealish last season. If we sell El Ghazi, which could happen, bringing in Damsgaard would be great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is you don’t have to take his set-piece ability away when considering him, it’s a key part of the game we totally stink at. We have young and bailey for that , i dont think JWP is this special player some of us are raving about and he doesn’t bring us to a different level he will just keep us ticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the money we have at our disposal we could really transform our team. Sell Nakamba, loan out Hourihane, Ramsey, Chukwuemeka. There will be clubs queuing up for Ramsey and Chuk. Then go out and buy two top quality central midfielders. No way would we loan out Chuk thats insane !! Your talking about a player that can cause the same impact as Bellingham at Dortmund. He goes Nowhere!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your talking about a player that can cause the same impact as Bellingham at Dortmund. He goes Nowhere!! I’d loan him out personally. How many games will he get here? 10-20, including cup games, at a guess. Ramsey made about 25 appearances last year for us, but the majority were bit part <30 minute appearances. Our youngsters should be proving themselves in the Championship, if possible, instead of playing a handful of full games, first team cameos, and then the rest of the season rolling out for the reserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout. Scored the winner for Salzburg in their recent UCL qualifier and would be a nice addition. Have been keeping up with him as well, can play as a number 10 and the other midfield positions also with great feet and can be quite creative also. American soccer is on the up and this young dude is right at the forefront of it. Only cost I think around 5 or 6 up for Salzburg to get him from the Union. I think we could get him for 10 or maybe just a tad more and would be an exceptional piece of business. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
