sne Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Linked to Terem Moffi, can't say I know anything about him. Has 10 in 14 for Lorient this season. He's only 6ft 2 thou so no were near tall enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is incredible record this season but without knowing much about the player it’s hard to work out if he’s genuinely top quality or just in a crazy run or form. 8 goals in 34 starts last season but 14 the season before in his breakout season, still only 23 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Rabiot is tidy enough and seems to have grown up, but we have enough 'tidy players' who turn like a milk float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Having a look at some of the passing stats of some CBs recently I was surprised by Schlotterbeck’s stats, he’s up there with Gvardiol. Better defensively as well. I know he only moved to Dortmund recently so probably a no go but someone with similar stats would be huge for us. https://fbref.com/en/players/34e12499/scout/365_m1/Nico-Schlotterbeck-Scouting-Report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good but if he was quality he wouldnt have been benchwarming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I remember how Peter Withe changed us from a decent mid table team, to a serious top half contender. A player of similar ilk, will do it again. I am not interested in the "old football" argument.....we have seen in this World cup how such players have flourished and won games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we can’t get caught up in who is doing what for whom in this World Cup. We’ve seen that recently with Damsgaard who is doing nothing at Brentford so far. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En-Nesyri fits the bill imo. Reasonably solid record in La Liga but bench warming currently. Had a good tournanent for Morocco holding it up and scoring the winner v Portugal. Apparently leapt up to 9ft to score that header! Could sign him for about 25m I reckon, mid 20s still despite being around a while.

Villaphan04 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Another thing that I want to keep in mind is -- we need/should get a few out the door in the summer. I keep coming back to McGinn, Sanson & Nakamba. The setup we have means that we don't need to have 7 senior midfielders for 2 spots & it feels like those 3 are going to be the ones who might find themselves with less gametime. Think we should let one or two of them go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we should let one or two of them go I think McGinn should be bench warming now but despite people keep saying he could be sold, he continues to start games. He’s not coming on as sub but is starting most of the games under Emery so far just like previous managers so I’m not sure he’s going anywhere in the near future. It’s too early to say Emery will continue starting him but he’s started most competitive and friendly games under Emery, small sample I know.
