thabucks Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 7 hours ago, useless said: We're being linked with Ewan Otoo, apparently a versatile defender from Celtic's B team, and Fabio Miretti, young midfielder from Juventus. Good read up on him, and considering how financially screwed Juve are cannot be discounted, though highly unlikely… https://www.scoutedftbl.com/best-young-football-players/profiling-fabio-miretti-juventus-best-academy-talent/ Quote There’s so much to like about Miretti’s game both in and out of possession. Off the ball, he is a rugged, combative defensive player that presses with intensity and closes spaces quickly, always looking for interceptions to kick-start transition opportunities in attack. With possession, he is a press-resistant, creative and damaging player that can play across a number of roles. Deep in midfield he can be that press-resistant, line-breaking ball carrier that helps his team beat the first line of the press. He can also play a box-to-box role, using his industrious qualities as a ball-winner, while also being given license to be aggressive going forward. Or he can play as a pure number ten, where his creativity, dribbling and excellent ball-striking technique all come to the fore. The biggest weakness in Miretti’s game is his eagerness to force the play a little bit too much; he loves to be aggressive and direct, but he needs to be more aware of his team’s structure ahead of the ball when doing so.

Xela Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Didn't Oblak sign a new contact until 2028? Where is all this talk of him leaving coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Lets go for De Paul. If we sign all of Messi's pals, we might be able to get him here. Give Augero a job as a matchday steward to seal the deal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s mainly coming from click-bait journalists. We should pay no attention to this IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are ALL better, when they don't play for us....when they get here, it's sometimes a rude awakening....How often has that happened, over the years? Im hoping the fact that emery has worked with him and other players he has worked with that, that hopwfully wont be a issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 We lost 2-0 in a bcd friendly with Everton today. We also failed to score against Villarreal, got 1 v Chelsea B team and 1 plus an own goal v Brighton. So two goals out of open play in 4 friendlies. Someone who can find the back of the net must be a priority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I don't disagree that finding a new consistent striker would be very nice, I would add, for balance, that we have scored seven goals in the first three games under Emery. Friendlies are for fitness, I wouldn't read too much in to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, I don’t think it’s easy to get the right upgrade on them this winter. We need Kamara’s quality of signings. To find those easier during summer. We need to build our team carefully, and add the right qualities. We can have depth by giving chances to some of our youngsters. Also to sell who we don’t see having a future here while have a good value in the market. Someone like El Ghazi could’ve got us a good return if we sold him the right time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its time we moved on to higher quality players than watkins. Watkins is ok of you want to be a average to staying up team.

CVByrne Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I think we're just missing that big physical centre forward to lead the line and who can play with Ings who will play as second striker the role he's best at and Watkins who can run the left channel if we have Bailey attacking from the right of Midfield. We have two forwards who just need to be allowed excel in their best roles by playing with the right CF partner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depay flopped in england and is a star since he left doesnt work like that. You asked me to name striker and david we dont know its going to cost 50m. I think thats harsh as that Canadian team wasn't very good and he looked decent. Moffi has more goals than watkins this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada had the most shots in the group and scored 1 goal from a Canadian player If we sold Watkins and replaced with Muriqi it would be as bad as Benteke for Gestede. His record except this season has been nothing special anywhere else Watkins isnt great but the idea everybody is better is farcical because they are a shiny new toy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a good price for him tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
