Left footed too which is rare in the middle. Contract ends this summer
Havent seen masses of championship football this season but Dewsbury Hall has looked one of the best from that division i've seen (along with Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville). The latter maybe an outside shout as a decent left wing option.
1. How many times have we said that?
2. One summer where they might do the business vs a zillion where they coulda/shoulda but didn't...think we already know what Levy's Spurs is truly about.
But yeah, fingers crossed.
You have to also factor in his wages to that (vs the wages of whatever alternative). He gets about £2m pa right now, and I'd assume would be in a position to treble that, given or take. I feel we need someone like him as well as the current players we have.
Of those, the one I'd keep is Emerson. And possibly PEH if he wants to say and continue his sub role.
Osimhen's attitude is (very) questionable. His injury record is pretty heavy too.
Whenever I think of him, it screams Chelsea's latest mega expensive No 9 flop.
He’d probably flop for Chelsea (bad environment) but I think if we got our hands on him he’d be great. Injuries aside.
Not saying we should go for him as wage+fee probably isn’t worth it for us. But damn if we did I’d struggle to suggest a player who is more suited to be an Ange striker.
Rapid, superb at getting in to good positions (26 xG last season!) and also decent technically, much better back to goal than Son despite it not being his strongest asset. He’d run teams ragged in this setup.
I thought I once visited Dewsbury Hall..
No it doesn't. 2027.
Nico is exciting, for sure. Great dribbler, gets lots of assists. But also scores just once every 10 games...in a slower, much less physical league where defenders back off a lot. Also, how would he deal with life away from Bilbao? Wouldn't be the first Spaniard to come to the UK and struggle to adapt...
Kid bloody loves himself, but man he's so good. Can pretty much do it all. As with Nico, would need to be able to handle the physicality of the PL...but he's going back to PSG anyway.
Love him, what a gem Napoli unearthed for next to nothing. They've been shite this year, but his levels have dropped nowhere near as much as his mates. Put some muscle on him and dear Lord...
Cheapest of the lot, but would still be round the 50mil mark. Good player, but still a lot of room for improvement.
Leao is a shithead. And he's lazy. Fuck him. Let a cunt club like PSG or Chelsea have him.
If we gonna spend 50-70 mil, HG or not, I'm expecting more than decent.
Very good dribbler, but also pretty wasteful. Attitude is a bit off too, doesn't really scream team player/positive locker room influence to me. Pretty light bodied too.
Getting Bryan G vibes
FFP might change that this summer but £50m is pretty standard for a decent player, £80-100m is where the Osimhen type players are. Only way your getting elite for £50m is if their contract is close to being up.
I am glad you never visited Stuart Hall , nobody should visit him
We must get another 2 or 3 Englishmen in that squad, it's a tad criminal where we're at right now. And I'm talking guys who play regularly, not kids who get 1.5 mins every 6 months or 3rd string goalies...or man hospital bed hybrid like Sess.
Yeah thanks for the memories, Richy, but see ya.
We're defo signing Timo on a permanent and he'll defo be considered a starter/regular contributor next year...that's just what this club does.
He spent yet another game walking and passing the ball sideways or 5yd away. And where was he on Zouma's goal? Ndombele/Winks/Skippy/Hoj would get murdered for such perfs. Get rid asap.
Good player, but he doesn't really scream major Biss upgrade...or that No 6 that's gonna take us to the title. But he's still dead young and rather new to the PL. Besides, he plays under the Dychosaurus.
A few things about him:
- He starts a vast majority of games...but his avg min per game is 75
- Got 2 goals (both headers) but 0 assist...does create a few chances, though (4 to Bissouma's big fat 0)
- Doesn't see that much of the ball...about 50 touches per game (Biss gets 90). Yves is a much better passer too
- Kid is better at recovering the ball, much stronger and wins more duels, also makes fewer mistakes incl those leading to goals
Think there's better, more complete out there.
I have a flat not far from Sochaux, as I'm often round those parts on business. I get invited to a fair few of their games and got to watch them a bit last season when they were in Ligue 2...since got relegated after nearly going bankrupt.
Obviously noticed him cause of his size and yeah he has pretty good feet for such a big man. Precious on set pieces too. But he clearly lacks the stomach and on more than one occasion his attitude was questionable. Been around their training complex a few times too, and yeah felt like a lad who's proper into his own hype.
Went to Lyon for cheap and they really didn't like him there. They know a thing or two about young talent so I trust their judgment to fuck him off after having a good look at him for a few months.
On a clear day you can see it from the top of Jimmy Hill.
