Better off spunking any money we have elsewhere. Agree I think we give him one more year paired with timbo another year on loan and then make the decision what we do with both obviously hoping donk gets sold and timbo steps up costing us nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 If we're signing another midfielder I hope it's someone like Lee Kang-In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Gregg Evans has just said nothing close on Oxlade Chamberlain. So we expect it announced within the hour then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Tielemens is a very astute signing. His role is similar to Luiz in that he is a deep playmaker type. He plays for Belgium alongside Dendonker. So we basically have two good quality midfield duos in Kamara and Luiz, and Dendonker and Tielemens. With Iroegbunam back up to those two (if he doesn't go back out on loan). Oxlade-Chamberlin is a good player perfect for the wide midfielder role, but as we all know is injury prone and not worth it. Pay as you play deal the only way we even consider, so smells like media BS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Oxlade Chamberlain, long past hie sell by date. Let's see some real ambition to match all the talk we were hearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion is to replace Dendonker to lock off central midfield, that doesn't make our squad smaller. It isn't like he is a terrible player, it is just if Kamara is injured none of Tielemans isn't a DM and Luiz isn't a true DM either he is a hybrid. The drop off from Kamara to Dendonker is too big IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
