Just Barca players mate… I think Christensen might have been mentioned too… They’re desperate to shift players while meeting conditions due to debts (which they don’t seem to give a crap about! Keep bringing in more players!) and inability to register some signings… A few people have suggested that our name is being used to try and draw attention to these players… I think they have a point.

None of the deals seem to happen so I’m thinking it’s not from our side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Newcastle being linked with Harry Maguire….still feel like he would be a good loan signing for us as cover (if we could get him on loan). Especially if we are playing 3 centrebacks, he would do a job on the left of the 3 as cover. If he goes to Newcastle and does a good job, it might one of those we look back on and regret. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have multiple different scoring outlets now. Obviously if he was injured it would be a big loss - he's an important first team starter - but we could set up to mitigate that even without any more forwards in. He was on the pitch for 6 of them though, occupying defenders and directly involved in a few. Either way though I'm relaxed about what we do up front. If we get a striker great, if not it will be because Unai has seen enough qualities in someone else to do it. Heck 12 months ago who thought John McGinn would slot in seamlessly on either wing or up front on occasion. We probably shouldn't read as much into positions as we used to.

Would be absolutely awful for us. He's a low block cb, playing him in a high line is the absolute worst thing you can do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he played LCB a lot under Conte and has played a lot at Barcelona. Monchi signed hom for Seville so enough information available for us to make a decision.

Jas10 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Ok… I think Lenglet would be decent for us under Unai… Konsa probably more likely to spend more time at RB… Would expect him to be better for us than he was for Spurs… As long as he doesn’t kick up a fuss if he’s not first choice… as cover… it only makes us stronger… can fill in for Mings’ absence for a season then probably move elsewhere… Unai clearly wants a team/squad full of players that pass the ball well… seems to be the main priority. Technical prowess is a must… In that context… kind of surprised if we stick with Olsen though… but it looks like we are… - We want a strong and competitive squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
