But happy that it supports my view that the two links were not connected. I think one more attacking player plus Archer and JP-B gives us some pretty exciting options.

thunderball Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 If we can afford Doku, may be we buy him and let the midfielders fight it out, and whoever prevails remains. With premier league exposure it’s possible we could make money on whoever we decide to off load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burchy Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I’m not convinced by Doku, he could potentially be all show and no end product. His goals and assists stats aren’t that great. Also doesn’t he mainly play RW, where I would have thought Diaby will operate more than on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both can play both sides, Diaby played mostly RW but is equally effective on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that he hasn't played that many minutes and his teammates are poor finishers so his actual assists are a lot lower than his xA/90. And he outperforms his xG significantly as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Just watching him vs West Ham in today's friendly, he is awesome, they can’t contain him. A threat every time he has the ball, where ever he receives it. So quick of thought, his decision making is excellent, he is a threat with every touch. He is very creative. He would be a terrific signing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Diaby would kill defences . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 It’s not that we need him, it’s that we if we don’t buy him now then that opportunity will be gone, he could be a world class. If we’re looking to this season only, it makes sense to get Torres or Joao, but if we’re looking at the potential then it’s totally different. I’d sell Bailey if it means we can get Doku and I rate Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
