Don’t think this one makes a great deal of sense unless Mundle has told us he wants away
He can play all across the front 3 can’t he?

He can aye, maybe he’s someone to provide competition to all 3 attacking areas. If he’s seen as potential 3rd striker material then it kills off any speculation about that Georgian lad at Lyon - although I never thought that was realistic.Don’t think this one makes a great deal of sense unless Mundle has told us he wants away

Yep it might be we prefer him as a CF, when I've watched him I see him as a LM only but he is rapid so fits the mold of our current strikersThey keep referring to him as a ST too
This is a Speakman special tbfLauriente only makes sense to me if they see him as a third striker who can cover the wing.
Ah lord, lining up without a right winger against a prem side gives me ptsd from the mags game when Beale lined us up like thatMaybe we're not going to play with a right winger and just double up on the left instead![]()
Isidor - ST / LW
Mayenda - ST / Wing
Abdullahi - ST
Lauriente - Wing / ST
Only one of the 4 is rigid in terms of where they can line up on the pitch. A lot of versatility there.
I’m keeping an open mind on him, he may have a breakout year.We need a specialist forward for me.
Maybe Abdullahi shocks us all.
Things are accelerating for Armand Laurienté at Sunderland. The 26-year-old French striker, who has been instrumental in Sassuolo's return to Serie A and scored 19 goals and provided six assists, and was voted the league's best player last season , is close to a move to the Premier League.

Regular top scorer in the division mind.He's a striker in the same way Salah is a striker

I've seen Adingra on the right a few times and he's really poor there so hoping he isn't going to be used thereClub may think both Adingra and Talbi are better from the right?
Plot twist: the keepers are world class but just **** themselves when Lauriente advances towards them.This video shows that Lauriente does get in some good forward positions so I can see him being a second forward in our system counter attacking.
It also shows how shockingly poor the goalkeeping is in Serie B. This is just clanger after clanger. Are we sure Lauriente is any good versus played against under 8 keepers?

I understand why we want him. Flexible, direct, quick.
