Quite direct, with excellent positioning, he always seems to be in the right place. It might not translate to PL though were you get less space, more speed and higher quality defence He is a great player and it’s easy to dismiss English talent against exotic foreign names I admit… Just not sure he propels us in quality as we need that’s all given the players we have unless he replaces Buendia perhaps in the squad.

Fingers crossed that Buendia comes back as good as before, really hope he can play in the run in, but you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wouldn't want to pay anywhere near what they paid for him, but if a fee could be agreed, would people want him back? Personally, if the money is right, I think he would fit in to that LM role perfectly in our system. Nobody has replied yet which I'm surprised about. His talent clearly has a place in our team but I just don't see how the financials make sense especially wages wise. All of that aside he is injured far too often.

Miranda doesn't look special at all https://fbref.com/en/players/ead61f73/scout/365_m1/Juan-Miranda-Scouting-Report Neither does Hermoso (as a left sided centre back), we also have two of those https://fbref.com/en/players/555f3a0b/scout/365_m1/Mario-Hermoso-Scouting-Report#all_scout_summary Rodriguez looks like a good ball winner who can't do much when he wins the ball, he's 30 next week as well. https://fbref.com/en/players/34e393f2/scout/365_m1/Guido-Rodriguez-Scouting-Report Baena is an interesting player for wide midfield, but his defensive stats are awful, as a forward he is middling and of course we don't need any players there. https://fbref.com/en/players/518f2234/scout/365_m1/Alex-Baena-Scouting-Report#all_scout_summary Almada has excellent stats for an attacking player, but they have been achieved in the MLS and again we don't need forwards. Your list...... fills the squad with players in positions that aren't needed Rodriguez aside. Your sales make an FFP loss IMO it is a stinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Didn't someone on here a while back say we were interested in Ruben Neves and he was open to coming back to the West Midlands? I do not follow the Saudi league at all so couldn't care less about how he's doing there but ultimately he was top quality at Wolves for many years and is still only mid 20s and he'd be a very nice option to have in the squad to give McGinn and Luiz breathers at various points when you're playing three high intensity games a week. Guess wages would be an issue but we found enough room in the budget to get in Tielemans in similar circumstances last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually weren't we linked to Kokcu when he was at Feyenoord? He's more realistic and IIRC the reports at the time were he had a similar profile to SJM so that could be a smart signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
