Jas10 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 5 minutes ago, IrishVilla10 said: The big thing for me though is Ollie is a lot more than goals and assists, hold up play, dropping deep to pull defenders, the one touch pass and turn from the ball from the centre backs , constant running etc adds so much to our front line. Drop Duran in there and expect him to do all that is asking a lot. It’s a great point… a lot to heap on Duran’s young shoulders if we face such a scenario… I’m just starting to wonder whether Zaniolo could excel in that role… and that he could be the surprise or breakout signing of the season… I’d rather have Nico up there over Diaby too who is too diminutive for that imo… he’s excellent on the wing too… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlético Madrid upset by João Felix’s Barcelona comments - AS USA Quote “I’d love to play for Barça,” said Felix, who has failed to live up to expectations since his club-record move from Benfica in 2019. “Barcelona has always been my first choice and I’d love to join Barça. It was always my dream since I was a kid. If it happens, it will be a dream come true for me.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Ollie Watkins is the only forward we have who can play with his back to goal. The rest are floaters who play more on the half turn. Also it’s a speculation thread where people speculate about how other players might fit into our team and squad. FFS people who want to discuss the merits of the current squad and Don Unai’s tactics can do so in the tactics thread. Now how would Messi fit in during a short term loan……?

Agree with your points on Kamara and McGinn… I was appalled at the criticism of Bouba and suggestions of selling him after that game… so I agree with you there and that there is some rubbish posted on this forum at times… - Anyway, I’ve said my piece… no need for me to say anymore… nor for us to carry on… Whether you take any of it on board is up to you.

Pretty much every player in the world would probably want to play for Barca over Villa, there’s no shame in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really need to be told about that point #78 times ? Same goes for people going on about Chiesa. I’m bringing Kepheren Thuram back up then….

AntrimBlack Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Emery made a bad decision last season to keep Archer and not give him the time he gave Duran. He may have made another bad decision this season to move Archer on and leave us with just Duran as our back up striker, and he is clearly not up to the task. If we are to sign a striker, we are leaving it very late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I think this back up striker is a bit of an ask. It needs to be someone good enough to play for a top half prem team but also someone who is happy to sit on the bench most of the time. And then this person may also stump the development of Duran. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What evidence do you have to support that apart from your own opinion. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
