Is this the new way forward - people being promised their own position? Maybe what they meant is that Shakey has told him he sees him as a no.10 and not a striker, which is perfectly sensible.

hackneyfox Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 2 hours ago, foxes21 said: Okazaki will be on the bench. Can see him being a good impact sub. He's at his best in the first 60 of a game, he couldn't close down a game we were winning and wouldn't score/assist if we were losing. 1 hour ago, Thracian said: I've no scepticism about the player at all. Quite the contrary - I'm as excited as everyone else. It's just that what I read came across as his being promised the role I mentioned and I wondered a) if it was true and b) about the wisdom of it. . I quite like the idea that players want to sign for a team that have a good enough squad that there's no round pegs mistakenly placed. 1 hour ago, buzzer_b said: Was about to say that. His work rate would be vital at the closing stages of games. 1 hour ago, Thracian said: I've never criticised his workrate. But the closing stages of a game aren't the time to be losing the ball needlessly. Best to have all eleven standing when it's getting hectic.

Shinji's got the close control of a lampost and is more hectic than calming. I don't get this. Shinji falls over constantly but his first touch is usually unbelievably good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the new way forward - people being promised their own position? I highly doubt that, that's the case. Apart from anything, If we've got to the point where he has sat down with Shakey and been "Promised" anything then a bid must have been accepted and we've sat down and spoke with him which I doubt is the case.

In his position, if we are clinging on to a 1 goal lead, putting the back line under pressure could be a good thing, unless we are already be massivly out played, then i would agree he would be the wrong choice if we needed to get control of the game.

lgfualol Posted 23 June 2017 Share Posted 23 June 2017 Okazaki may as well move if Iheanacho joins imo. He wont play much. If we need a goal he's the last player I would bring on and if we're defending a lead we could just bring Mendy or James on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
