Boufal (in the hole)

For me anyway.

Wouldn't be a bad shout. His favoured position is on the left, it's where he played for Lille and Morroco. I quite like Gabbi in the hole, just wish we had a better striker to play up there with him. Hopefully January, rumours of Alacaer who Barca want to shift in the window.
 
What are the chances of Rangers going for our ex, Mr Pardew? He might not be too high up on the radar but he could drag Rangers just that little bit closer to Celtic!! Thoughts anyone?

My point was that cb was a gap goals is not a gap. You can't fill goals with a single player. Austin is proof of that.

Also Redmond can easily beat his man down the wing by changing pace and knocking it past and has shown that many times but that's only useful for traditional wingers looking to put in a cross which neither manager have really used. You can't get into a packed box that way. his crosses have created 2 of our best chances in our recent matches despite taking them wrong footed from an awful position. (Unfortunately both for tadic) due to tactics.

I could go on to list the merit's for prowse and Davis and get into an argument about it but my point is you're not basing your decision on players we need but players you like. But we don't need players you like, we need players Pellegrino likes. And it's Reed buying players he wanted rather than Puel wanted that got us into this problem to start with.

Having goal scorers is a gap we've had since Mane & Pelle left. Austin hasn't done it, Gabbiadini looks capable - that's the calibre of player we need if we want to challenge.

Most wingers can buy a yard for a cross, Tadic is great at that. Redmond doesn't do these things nearly enough. I've lost count of how many times he's had time and plenty of space to run in to with the ball but he always plays the safe option. He's not quick enough to outrun full backs these days like Mane was.

JWP and Davis are not attacking players, you can see it when they play. They haven't got the instinct, passing ability or the vision to open defences up. Of course I'm talking about players that I would like, but you can't tell me that Pellegrino won't be asking for attacking players? That indicates he's not happy with the players he has now.

Look, I'm not interested in arguing about player ability. You can ignore statistics and say redmond is worse at crossing that tadic all you want. Im not even saying we dont need attacking reinforcenents. You argued with my definition of Gaps which is to buy a player for a specific position. We don't have any specific positions that needed filling at the start of the season.

In order to buy an attacker , reed needs to know what player pellegrino wants and doesn't want to replace them with the new attacker. If not we'll just repeat the same mistake and end up with another Boufal, a good player that the manager doesn't use

Quick, before it gets changed. No idea where it’s come from, but will give some light relief.

If you have Google Maps on your phone/computer.
