Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Although we have spoken about how strikers don't really matter during afcon - it's a bit annoying that he's just finally been called up.

 

Tbf, I thought Mayenda's finishing was rotten then in Jan it all clicked for him. I think RLB has a knack for strikers

 

I feel he actually does everything as a striker good

except finish. Like he’d be perfect to see games out I can’t really pick a fault in the rest of his game

with some top coaches his finishing will improve

it might also be a case of in tougher scenarios where you get less chances he might switch on more. He knows he’s getting 5/6/7 chances arm

 

BRING HIM HOME

 

Big, strong and consistently crap at headers despite his size? He could fit in our striking department without any issue at all. Go get him Juan.

 

Like I mentioned before without the SIXTY FIVE (65) headers attempted last season his xG underperformance was only 1.9 and he scored 18 from 97 shots.

 

Since inches are important

is he 6'5 or 6'6

 

That’s much better

 

Looks a bit Emmanuel Adebayor

 

Managed to see a few headed goals in his goals from last season versus our 1 from a striker at least so bring him in ahah

 

Yeah he managed 3 from 65 attempts and 9xG.

 

I've said it before but RLB is a striker-maker (doesn't really work but meant to be like 'kingmaker') - some very good raw tools for him to work with in Arokodare.

 

I wonder what the reaction would be on here if he was from France and we hadnt seen much of him but was linked and someone put that highlights reel up? We would probably be saying £25m is a bargain.

I dont think much of highlight reels. Certainly not to judge a player. But it gives a sense of the capability, if not the fallibilities. Dan has so much quality and I remain convinced he is the perfect modern day deep midfielder. Like every footballer, he has weaknesses, but in his case they are massively outweighed.

I grow increasingly worried he is away. I will be absolutely devasted. Folk who dont think sentimentality has a place in football may well be right. I choose to be sentimental as it brings me joy in the game. Dan is a pure joy footballer for me, I love him to bits. If he goes it will take some getting over for me. Not the first footballer to have moved me like he has, and wont be the last. Just hope it is overseas and not premier league, in Italy he would be absolutely idolised and a talent like his deserves that.

 

Hume would put his own mother into row z if she tried to go past him on the field haha

 

And that’s why we ****ing love him

 

Some of our fans sounding incredibly disrespectful and naive turning their noses up at some of the players we've been linked with.

 

Tolo is apparently closer to a move to a PL club,, AC Milan are interested... but nothing close


has Bradders strike again?

 

I def don't want Neil to go but feels like he will go

Been really quiet on the contract front and everything I've heard is he isn't signing it. The club will have a deadline in mind and if it's not signed by then I could see him moving on

Could we sign better than him, of course but we could equally sign worse than him. There's something special with having academy lads in the team and while I think there's areas of his game that will likely get found out at the next level, I could also see him improving in these

I want him to stay but my gut feeling is he will be away

 

Not the best sales pitch for a striker

 

He’s really good at almost everything


Except finishing


His finishing is slightly poor but his worst attribute is actually scoring headers


He had 158 shots with a total xG 28.5 underscoring by 7.5


Of those 158 65 were headers. He only scored 3. The 65 headers were 8.56xG


So without headers it was 93 shots 18 goals with an xG of 19.94 so he only under scored xG by 2 without headers


6”6 but can’t score headers is funny


Would be a cracking addition though as he’s a nightmare for defender, strong, quick, can hold the ball up every well and his finishing especially in the air can be worked on.
