Definitely not a model we should be looking at with envy. Maybe bissouma. But white isn't even their 2nd best CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our youth recruiter out here trolling with Chukwuemeka, Philogene-bidace and Iroegbunam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vickery knows his stuff, if he rates him so highly then we shouldn’t hesitate for a second… bring the 🕷 in! Edited July 6, 2021 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I think Wilmar Barrios is the type of player we need in midfield. As he plays in Russia I assume he would be gettable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were doing very well at it for a while as well. The well eventually goes dry if you keep the sane turnover every summer and show little ambition. For every van Dijk you get a Wesley Hoedt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara… Barrios: You need to view the complete scouting reports on FBRef to get a fairer representation of players in fairness. Those more basic tables tend to make most DMs look quite limited when in actuality Barrios' passing stats are generally above average (whilst granted not being anything special) along with his high defensive contributions.

Most of the red is concentrated in all the attacking stats which whilst nice to have, isn't a make or break kind of thing for a DM. Low progressive passes is deceptive, his total progressive passing distance is a lot higher. Those defensive stats are pretty good. Actually pretty difficult to find someone who is above 50 in all defensive categories and Barrios is close here. Just his aerials are a bit concerning. Pretty poor aerial win percentage as well. I will say though playing for the Russian Premier League and not posting elite stats means I'd still rather look somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
