KMitch Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Just now, lexicon said: He offers us less than Bailey does. I don't see the point in going after him, especially with the figures mooted. To address the bit in bold: He might run at defences, but he only averaged 1.01 in terms of successful take-ons - meaning he dribbled into trouble and lost the ball more often than not. Cutting the ball back - his assists per 90: 0.09, less than one assist per ten games played. He also completed, on average, 9 passes per game. His finishing isn't too bad, really, can't argue there. Brennan Johnson is the definition of a highlight player. More frustrating than Bailey is to watch because of how wasteful his decision making is. I don't rate Harvey Barnes and I would rather have us go for him than Johnson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our issue is further forward where they have Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard in the attacking midfield and wings…we don’t have anywhere close to that. This, 100%. Unfortunately, attacking players of that kind of caliber are incredibly expensive unless you buy them young and develop them for several seasons (like Martinelli). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 16 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: He actually is. Less dynamic, but as a controller, which is what Emery wants, he's better. Ball winning in the challenge I'll take Bouba every time. I don't get the dynamic angle with regards to Rice. He is slow . JU would beat him by 10 yards in a 50 yard race. He is heavily built. Will get even slower in rhe next 5 years. A good player and a good leader no doubt. But not dynamic . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted June 29, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2023 I can definitely see Zaha here by the end of the window. Free transfer, quality player and Emery loves him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't change national teams and stayed Irish, he'd be a 40 million pound player max. Just like Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) 31million for Torres is a bloody good bit of business for him, top class centre back, now a right back, left winger, attacking midfield and striker left for me Edited June 29, 2023 by rbcuk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely wouldn’t mind Zaha here, we may have a shithouse on the pitch in every area if he were to come so that’s another bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
