Same, and correct me if I’m wrong he can play across the entire 3 in our 4-2-3-1 formation? That versatility to change along with grealish and Traore/new RW, that would be awesome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I can really see a time in the next couple of years where our squad matures together and hits its prime, the core of it we have now and a few new top class additions. And at the same time, the likes of Spurs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manure start to decline. There’s definitely an opportunity there for us to break the cartel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be aiming for truly world class players as our first choice if they reject us so be it. Both have vast amounts of PL experience. It's not goals they need to score.. It's assists they provide, and both have very solid stats in that region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the way that Jack brings a different attacking dimension to Targett’s game on the left, I reckon Buendia would develop a similar relationship with Cash. With Traore Cash busts his lungs to overlap and show for the pass, but 9/10 times Bert cuts inside and runs into a dead end. Yes I’m surprised how poor Traores awareness is at times. Before the season I thought the whole plan was to have a left footed ringer to open up space for Cash to bomb forward. Try and make the right side take some pressure of Jack and Targett. It hasn’t happened they seem to have very little understanding of each other’s game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich192 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Brooks is average, like Cantwell. We really need to think higher than that. Buendia is different class. Not seen enough of Olive, but would be happy with him. Not sure if anyone else will tackle our fancy from the Championship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash is left out of position and opposition defenders had even stopped tracking him. Seemed Matty was the only player on the pitch who thought Traore might pass to him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Buendia and Saint-maximan. We should be aiming for truly world class players as our first choice if they reject us so be it. But players like Oyarzabal, Bailey, Diaby etc. Should be who we are aiming for not ASM (who gets 5 goal contributions a season despite how skilled he is) and Buendia who had a shot to goal ration of 1/40 last time he was in the prem. He has gotten better a bit. But only a bit. Norwich are better as a whole and he got what 4 more assists and 3 more goals in the championship which again is probably due to the fact the rest of Norwich's team was substantially better. Those players link us to personally I don't think it will happen but maybe more importantly I think they're moves that would be incredibly hush hush, the brum mail is not going to know if we make a Leon Bailey phone call and we won't leak it if he says no If we get buendia and the response is "we should have got this world class player instead" I think that's harsh on the club, enquiries about top top players that get rejected won't make the press, it doesn't mean that we didn't make the enquiry I hope we don't have the old suso problem where fans assume he does nothing on the basis that he doesn't leak his diary Expecting a summer where once again we are told and know very little of what's going on (accompanied by some wild bullshit concocted by the rags) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting seeing Bournemouth fans views on Brooks, they'd drive him anywhere at the moment, seems he's been very poor this season and they'd snap your hands off for 15m, same with the VT fave Billing who again has been very poor for them and they simply don't rate him in the champ. Im confident our recruitment will be a step up from last season again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 The only player I’d take from the championship this time about would be Buendia, albeit I haven’t seen much to Olise and people say he’s good. Norwich fans saying Buendia wouldn’t come here - lol. One look at the stadium, the training ground, 80-100k a week and he’d sign. The problem with that transfer is coming up with the 35-50m Norwich would want for him. But, if you trust your scouting, make it happen. I’m gutted we didn’t give Leeds an extra 10m for Phillips when we had the chance and I’m sure they’d say that about Watkins. If we think Buendia can take us to the next level, make it happen!

Agree, Brooks is neat and has a good burst in him, but not much end product, i think Cantwell is better, but as you say Buendia is a different class. More than 30M for Buendia would be too much though imo. Even 30M is a bit hefty at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
