I don’t think I’d prioritise bringing him back when we have Rigg. Jobe was undoubtedly the better player last season but you’re right I think if we want to bring someone in it should be someone experienced and noticeably better than Rigg if he’s going to potentially take minutes off him or Diarra. I’d be signing a good winger and putting ELF in the middle personally. Xhaka and Sadiki are nailed on starters, that third place is Diarra/Le Fee then Rigg as the rotation. We need more from the wide men imo.
Definitely mate. He got his wish and moved on and we've moved forward, arguably beyond his level and I'd want another difference maker, wow type signing in January if we're still doing well.
Aye we said at the time if we were to spend £30m on a midfielder to keep us up in the PL we’d want a lot better than Jobes current level. Wages aside we got Xhaka and Sadiki for the Jobe fee. Sadiki looks levels above, been massively impressed with him. He’s taken to the PL like a duck to water.
dont think Jobe would even make the bench, we have vastly improved, think we are looking at more "higher" end quality ti help us over the line
I feel like this is a non-starter, his dad wasn't happy when he was subbed off for Dortmund, no chance he would tolerate being a squad player, which he would be now due to our signings.
Correct. He had to play here before regardless of performance, that was clear as day in his first season.
Loved jobe but don’t want to develop him for someone else when we have rigg. Hopefully might be more appealing this January with how we started. Ghisolfi and speakman to carry om the good work
Guela Doue with another solid performance tonight for Strasbourg. Would like us to have a look at home but we have good options at RCB/RB already
