Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Intriguing graphic. Meerdink's NPG was excellent but so was the npxG.

Nantes looked like they created very little for Abline.

The high % aerial is something you could see us wanting to complement Mayenda and Isidor with. Also why we are keen on Abline.

 

My priority is to organise my priorities

 

He def finished the season better but that's where some recency bias comes into it. If he had a solid year but had a poor end even more would be wanting him replaced

Because he had a great final folk want him to be given a chance, nothing wrong with that

I just feel GK is a huge position in any league, especially when we will be battling relegation (or likely to be), a Gk can win you so many points. Yes folk will say he won us points but he also cost us a lot and wasn't even ranked in the top 5/6 GKs last season in the championship

 

Excellent that.Thanks for posting mate.

 

I love Regis Le Bris man and I love that top he's wearing

 

Yeah it reinforced that I think Abline is pretty well rounded but needs to work on his shot selection.

Meerdink and Stassin both pretty great in front of goal but it's sometimes hard to compare with a difference in league standard and also difference in how their team compares to the others around them.

For me someone who is a good call carrier but also a threat in the air is the target to look at, helpful for defending set pieces and finally gives us someone to aim for from crosses

 

Does anybody know what day the lads actually fly to Portugal?

 

I do feel like Ballard has benefited from that a lot too

 

Same. I love the big lad and he was immense throughout the 3 playoff games but had a bit of a shaky season otherwise and was often third choice, albeit he got unlucky with the timings of his injuries.

I think many are expecting him to step up easy simply because of 3 playoff games where teams lumped it into the box but the premier league won't be like that and I think he's going to get exposed for his turning speed and pace.

Not saying he can't do a job, he definitely can, but I'm not 100% confident in him being a starter.

 

classic Regis

 

Agreed, I do think Ballard has the potential to be PL quality however, he isnt a nailed on starter

 

And maybe he will step up and do well, but 2 CBs is a minimum to come in.

 

could see this being us

 

IMO we need players to set new benchmarks for

Alles Le SAFCON

 

I think he’ll stick with France

 

I think he'll go to Stuttgart but maybe he could be convinced.

 

No more AFCON I beg you

 

If we get a top class centre back alongside him,he'll come on in leaps and bounds imo. Good players always can improve playing alongside other better players.
Think the same about Alese as well.

 

Aye i'd like to start steering away from that now
