Yeah maybe. I’m not sure about Cantwell tbh. We’re pretty stacked for CMs and I’d be looking to lose someone from there before I’d consider him.
I know one or two... Not sure he’s an actual CM though to be honest. Think he tends to drift from a 10 role outwide.
Oh, definitely. I meant to put that one back, too. We've got loads of midfielders, but I really don't see where most of them fit into Mourinho's systems, nor that of Pochettino before him. We've got too many Can Do A Job There, But... players in that position, in my opinion.
Yeah, I think he's a lot more useful nearer the box. Could work in the 4-3-3 or a more attacking role in the 4-2-3-1, in my opinion.
No idea what he actually does to be fair. I’ve always thought of him as an advanced midfielder. Watching YouTube he looks sort of like a less good version of Alli from a few years back. Lots of flicks in and around the box and a few goals, against big teams often to be fair. I see what you mean. I’m not sure we play to his strengths though really. Similar to Alli as I said to DH above. I’m not sure he’d work in the way that GLC does when we play 433. Talented kid though no doubt. I like Buendia too, if we needed a wide attacker I think he’d be of great interest.
Yeah absolutely. Not at the same level of course but looks a good comparison as a player and maybe as a personality too.
Not as pissed as Bayern, as they had an agreement which Ajax apparently put in the shredder once Barca got on the phone
The player thought he'd have more opportunities to play at Barca, so they can't be too pissed at Ajax. He's competing with Sergi Roberto instead of Benjamin Pavard, so I'd say that he has a point.
That second one's something else, isn't it? Really surprised that nobody's grabbed him up yet, to be honest.
I'm trying to work out how we pitch these to Benfica "Are you okay with us paying a £2.5m loan fee for an eighteen month loan we have no intention of making a permanent deal?" "What's in it for us?" "Well, you can say that if the fee to join us is £56m, that means you can fleece whoever buys them by saying we were willing to pay that" "Sounds sketchy" "Don't worry, we'll inflate their value. Oh, by the way, do you have any strikers we can borrow?"
