Drops deep, holds the ball, releases the wide forwards, none of which Ings could do very well. I think it's purely down to style, rather than overall ability. I liked Danny a lot, a really good poacher (to use FM parlance), but that is quite restrictive if you are looking to be a counter attacking or possession side. I can see why they would want a change, if it is indeed Dembele that we are after. Yep I have no doubt, my point was generally when I come on this forum and I see lists of names of players from obscure leagues and never heard of, which likely 95% will never move to a bigger league because in reality they aren’t good enough. My point wasnt directly about Dembele, I couldn’t tell you if he is good enough for us. He could be superb for all I know.

Fair. Think you are right. I only think we've been targeting players based in Europe because a) Unai has experience and knows where value can be found, and b) most PL players are going nowhere in Jan, especially decent players. Decent strikers are like gold-dust. I would expect more domestic scouting in the summer as those bargains get taken up by clubs all over Europe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Unai never wanted Danjuma, but people are questioning him signing a proven goalscorer in Dembele. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted January 20, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2023 Deulofeu links have gone quiet. Hope that is a good sign, as that's how the club does business these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All going quiet, Guendouzi deal is silent. There is definitely things going on, interesting to see what is happening. Players out before in, secrecy discussions and then we get a signings, which speculation is true, Lyric reactivity and then deactivate, fans arguing over players…it’s going to be a fun couple of weeks.

They look bad now with the benefit of hindsight. I just think it's all relative and I really don't think that window we brought in Samatta, Baston, Reina and Drinkwater is looked on as the window that kept us up. I wasn't referring specifically to Ziyech just to the idea of signing someone on loan to plug a gap for a few months. I don't care how good they are if they don't fit the system and they're not staying long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 poor seasons look like the anomalies. I get the doubts with this lad but if Emery analyses everything as much as we hear he does he would only sign a player if feels can work with him. So if it happens I reckon he’ll do alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
