More links to a keeper, Dominik Kotarski from PAOK according to Di Marzio. Lot of other clubs also interested allegedly
Troll. Manning won’t cope. His positioning, tackling, defending the box were exposed by the championship attacks, the prem it will be free goals for the oppo. Perraud was solid and at times class and I always thought he was a good character on the pitch.
Not against that at all. Don't think he's PL standard and this is almost certainly the best opportunity to get a fee back for him before his contract ends.
Agree, Perraud is a good PL left back. Also one of the best strikers of the ball in our squad (alongside stuey).
Perraud and Manning are pretty similar for me. Both sloppy passers, both get caught high up the field or out of position and both better going forward than defensively. Perraud a bit of an improved version of RM, but no appetite for either of them to be starting for us next season, tbh.
Yeah. I'd rather have Perraud as cover than Manning, but neither should be starting. Bad positioning and awareness plus bad recovery pace is just a recipe for disaster, and both of them share those traits.
All Fullbacks will get caught upfield, that's part of the modern job. I'm not saying Perraud is a Kyle Walker regen but he's a proven full back a the level and I never felt he was a liability on the pitch. He's ours, under contract and we wont be able to afford to replace or strengthen every position that we need to as it is without adding LB to the mix.
In the right environment I feel Broja will become a real goalscorer. Just think attitude will always be a problem with this guy.
Christ, I'd have the old ESR all day long. I'm out of touch with the Prem, tho, didn't watch a single game so not sure why he has fallen so far out of favor.
I'm going to do my periodic stumping for Ismael Kone, Canada and Watford attacking midfielder. Reportedly a Roma target, fast, skillful and direct through the center, was great against France this week.
