I’m a bit torn. On one hand, the havoc he would create would open a lot of space for Son and Kane, and also make life easier the midfielders. On the other, you’d want more end product to justify a large fee. I want to say that they should back Nuno if he really believes in the player. I’m just not convinced.
Who has said Ndombele is the best player on the squad other than maybe the guy that has the user ID Ndombadboy?
Kane and Son keep scoring with Lucas and Bergwin in the team and they have very very little endproduct(lucas) to no end product(berg) too. But at least Traore would get the ball to Kane and Son much more often as hes much better at carrying the ball forward.
It's weird. Imagine if things don't go well for Nuno and Levy sacks him and then goes back to employing a manager who believes in possession based football. The squad will be unsuitable.
I think Son would benefit yugely from Traore because he has the pace to keep up with him
Kane... not so much. Kane needs the traditional, Eriksen type of number 10 to organize and slow the play down. Not some fast pace, out of control circus.
Hallelujah. When we've been at our best over the last 15/16 years its when we've had a classy footballer as the fulcrum of the team Carrick, Modric, Eriksen. When we haven't had a player like that that makes us tick we just hope we stumble across a freak to get us points be it Bale, Kane or to a lesser extent Berbatov. We need footballers, we have plenty of workhorses and runners.
Pretty much my thoughts. Having a bulldozer to occupy defenders and free up others is fine but for £40m I expect substantial goal output from a forward.
If we sign him let’s just hope that training with Kane and Son will help him improve his finishing.
We tried by signing Lo Celso and Ndombele. Both flopping hard.
Maybe things for Lo Celso click, but Ndombele seems like a lost cause
Gil... TBD
Why do we need to spend over £40m on player has goals and assist are average at best plus has injury problems. His only hood on counters or nicking the ball in CM. What happens when teams sit back with 2 banks of 4. He always plays good against us so I wouldn’t judge him based on performances v us. Why not spend a bit more go for a real centre forward or Imho Sarr at Watford is far better player or St max for more skilful have pace and score / assist as well. Otherwise spend the mo er getting a proper CM / RB / CB where we really need to improve. This strikes me as cronyism and lazy scouting of players. Or we could wait for Neto to be fit his a far better player. Troare has his attributes but to me this signing would be signalling the intent of how we are going to play under Nuno. Basically a maureem 2.0. Although we won yday from the highlight I saw they had two gilt edge chances one which our £40M plus man in on goal fluffed and the other Jimenez really should have done better. We don’t need him we just bought Gil as well. How many more wide players are we going to buy when the cupboard is bear in CM. Stabiliser or the Italian barrati?
We’ve got players with end product, not sure why there is such an outcry about the lack of goals. If he’s Kane replacement then let’s get the pitchforks out but surely that’s not his role
end of the day, if the manager wants him for 40M he should be backed.
He’s never gonna be a finisher, forget that…… he might give them the ball earlier tho
We can’t be spending £40M
Plus on a marginal upgrade to Lucas. Berg looked good yday and if he gets his shooting boots on then we don’t need troare. Completely wrong type of player or in a position we need. What happens if Kane is sold we then need 2 CF plus we still quality in CM and CD. The other main thing is we need someone to pull the strings and create. I really do see us struggle to create chances outside of the counter attack or set pieces with the players we have and tactics.
At the rate Traore takes the ball forward, if Kane wants to be there to get the cross he had better start now.
If under Nuno he didn't improve in 3 years at wolves, how is the same Nuno suddenly gonna improve him
Funny. At least Kane wont be standing around waiting for the ball that never gets passed to him. He can stay up top while the bulldozer brings the ball to him.
We would probably need two or three new midfielders to play like that. And probably new CBs who are better on the ball.
I would also love to see us play that way, but I don’t think it’s going to happen without a major overhaul of the mf and defense.
Imagine Traore and Saint Maximin in the same team been linked with both this summer
That’s a defenders nightmare
That’s a defenders nightmare
It is one of the more startling physical transformations i've seen in a footballer. Does make you wonder if he had some 'assistance'.Cunt is roided to the max
Make it happen Don Levycunt
