Zatman Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 6 minutes ago, sne said: Juve fans who know who Westwood is? Now I've heard everything From what I've seen he's not lived up to the early hype and potential yet but he's only 24 and I certainly don't think he's similar to Westwood in any way shape or form. Using a broad stereotype I generally love the attitude that players from Uruguay have. Just a hint of crazy in most of em The description of him from them sounds like how we described Westwood. bottles tackles and makes a lot of side ways passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw he's ranked 2nd in Interceptions and 6th in tackles made per game among all Juve players in the league this season according to whoscored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Not saying this just because he scored today, but always thought Barnes is a very talented player and think he would flourish in this formation Gerrard uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Will be interesting to see who we go for Jan, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see us go for a left side central defender, not that Mings has done much wrong but we struggle at times to play out the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted December 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 5, 2021 My shopping list in terms of positions I think we need to address within the squad. Back up GK First choice/genuinely competitive LB LCB 2 x CM I don't think these will all be addressed in January but they are the biggest issues in the squad currently and were in the summer but went unaddressed.

Do you not think we need some cover at RB or do you believe Kessler (sp?) will play a part next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Kessler but hard to judge if he can make the step up so I'm a little on the fence with that one plus Konsa can cover there if needed.

Mazrim Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I think we definitely need a Right back as well as a left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted December 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2021 Someone like Lisandro Martínez from Ajax would be amazing, young up and coming defender, played at top levels and for their country… he did sign a contract extension in October though so not sure that’s realistic.

villalad21 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised nor disappointed if we didn't do any business in January. Difficult window. Edited December 6, 2021 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love his enthusiasm and there's still time for him to polish up. While that happens, a more polished RB could come in and Cash can compete with him. Gives Kessler more time to develop too.

Jbvilla909 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 For Jan. LB competition for Matty T same for RB. Cover for Mings and Martinez. All will be difficult this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Wijndal (18 months left), Boubacar Kamara (6 months left) Joe Gomez Would be a great window for me and address a few issues even if I still feel I'd look at the squad and think we missed a Star player or two. Where Wijndal ends up will be interesting as he's one of those that gets linked to big big clubs but I could see him in a midtable side somewhere and being very gettable. Not unlike former teammate Teun Koopmeiners. Linked to Man U constantly then ends up at Atalanta. Wijndal does have Mino Raiola as an agent though. I'd really like to look at David Raum at Hoffenheim but he only joined them recently so likely too soon for another move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives Kessler more time to develop too. same with LB i think the next level up is going north of £20m and i dont see us doing both until we push on up the table if we did get joe gomez maybe we'd try him out at RB whilst covering the CBs, not sure if he'd be too keen on that though, also think liverpool letting him go would suggest that he's another one that ben mee has got away with breaking, he's not even making their bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
