It would be one or the other surely? different sides and different primary foot. Torres is right foot, Asensio is left. So let's just get both in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I like the idea of this team , if nico or ferran could play on the left then id choose them both and play whoever could do a job on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had Ward-Prowse down for us and Newcastle. Personally I don't see where he'd fit in here under Emery we've a lot of similar players and he'd be marginal increase on them rather than the step increase we need. Exactly. I think in the Dean Smith days he would have been a good signing for where we were at the time as a club. He's got a cracking free kick on him, but as you say, if we're looking at top 6 quality players from Europe, he doesn't fit where we want to go as a team moving forward. Shows how far we've came as a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll join Newcastle who need a bigger squad for the Champions League and he can be part of a rotation there and fills an English player slot too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young plays for Villarreal technical neat and tidy and retains possession well. Obviously has potential but has never wowed me when I’ve watched him play but may very well fit our system.

Antonio cordon I think the name was correct me if im wrong… seems more stable, careful and precise in the profile of player he would look at. i certainly do not want us wasting money which i think we need to be very careful with. I dunno. Maybe let the guy at least start his job before writing him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you insult something which hasn't been born. I would think even newly born babies are fairly difficult to insult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
