Dombs never averaged 90 mins for Lyon. Closer to the 70 mark. And that's in Ligue 1...where the physical demand is half what it is in the EPL.
I guess that's a good use of 60mil transfer fee + 200 G's a week salary
The city connection could make sense.
He played under Bielsa as well who was a foot on the pedal attacking maniac. Maybe He's a 6 for Ange?
I thought he was England's best CM in the Euro's but I'd be the same as you, not really sure.
Yeah it's an instruction but I'm not sure Ange can give that instruction to the CM's we have now and they pull it off...
Then the engine to sprint and make a run into the box.
If you pick up Hatate and Scott you have x2 8/10's that are legit two-footed and able to swap sides depending on who you want to partner them with.
It ain't a hell of a team on paper to begin with. And that CB partnership (which ain't ever happening anyway)...man, could we do more unreliable between a dude who's got crystal knees and another who's a walking red card & pen to the opposition?
Rico Henry & Mbeumo...now that's some players we should have a convo about
Agree with most of this but why move Hjoberg now ? For stability surely he needs to stay another season especially as Betancourt .
We got him already, his name is Bissouma
Because he’s shit and also because he’s the only one that would attract a fee
Big clear out. Will it be the biggest in recent times ?
Depends on him.
Does he see himself as a player that should be playing European football?
Will he be happy if he doesn't fit the system and doesn't play.
He has the max value he ever will for us, right now.
If you get an offer of 25-30m that money goes back into the rebuild.
They do say.....where there is shit, there is money.
He did 26 90 mins (and an 87) out of 31 starts. League 1 is not slow or lacking physicality. It just lacks stars over the age of 24.
It would be better than the use we got out of him last season.
Yeah, I like Mbuemo. Henry is a decent player, not really necessary when we have Emerson, Spence, Porro. Probably the most well stocked position on the field for us.. all offer something different and all u25.
What was going on that season that he was able to play 90mins so often and was he dominating for 90 mins or hiding for large sections of games?
If he can be motivated to get fit and dominate for 90mins, he's the level of #6 that we could never afford or attract without CL.
Can and Could are lifting heavy weights in that sentence tho.
No, this kind of seems to either have missed or just totally ignored my point.Sorry if I am cutting across a thread, but I don’t think anyone of us needs to look @ West Ham with any envy. As nice as last minute winners are, would any of us swap Lucas’ for thier goal last night ? I don’t think so.
Do we look at Bolton and think “I wish we won the Papa Johns” this year ? I know I don’t.
First off we were not in the Papa Johns (our mens team ) and second, it’s shit.
We were not in the Conference league and that’s absolutely shit too, despite what Robbie Savage might indicate, when clearly pissed or coked up.
When West Ham finished above us in 2021 I was furious. But that was a real insult, not last night.
This year they finished 20 odd points below us. By finishing 6 places below us they earned £6m less approx. By winning last night they gained approx £8m. So even on cold finances it was ridiculous how “serious” they took the whole thing, they could well have gone down due to this shit competition.
Keep the faithMuch rather us than them.
Why should it be one or the other, Lucas hattrick OR a cup win? Like we can't have any nice things going forward because we had that good night ~5 years ago???
I'd much rather be us WITH a cup or two to go with it, it's really not such an outlandish desire...
And I don't give a flying fuck about the finances, I'd knock a couple of million off the clubs books in exchange for a trophy in the cabinet without a second thought.
If you're keeping him around you accept that he's a 60min starter or an impact from the bench.. which isn't a big deal when you have 5 subs. Think he could be useful for the style well be playing if he's kept around.. but you could also see him being cut adrift fairly quickly if his body language and effort grates on Postecoglou in pre-season.
Mbeumo is actually a decent shout. Henry is a LB which is a more questionable position in our squad
My bad, Hickey is the rb. Yeah.. Reguilon seems to have quietly retired. Be interested in us bringing in a cb/lb like Medina or Hincapie
How is Raya worth £40m? The world has gone mad! Pope was £12m
Think that we will be looking elsewhere, maybe Sevilla ?
