ozvaldo Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 He'd be like another Marc Albrighton. And on his day, he's unplayable. I think he suits out style, get him in (especially if Lawrence is off and Mahrez either isn't putting it in or eventually leaves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning and losing in the prem is about capitalising on fine margins, and Riyad is one of our few players who can do that. He was poor on Friday but we need to supplement, not replace him. Townsend would add another threat and has the mentality to rotate or even allow us the option of a 4231 with Riyad at 10, drifting and interchanging with the other attacking players. 13 minutes ago, ozvaldo said: He'd be like another Marc Albrighton.

Totally agree Oz, he's another something from nothing player but with some graft as well. Maybe not a sublime as Riyad, but more so than Marc (not that he is a slouch). Really think those three would be fantastic together. Get this signing done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindaloo FOX Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 this is a rubbish paper talk, everyone chill . the only way we will be getting a winger in is if we sell Musa or Mahrez . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 Given the choice between a Marc Albrighton clone or current form Mahrez on the right, I'd take the clone right now. Townsend is closer to that style and think he'd currently benefit the team more than Riyad. He does seem shot happy at times but we lack someone with a decent 25 yard strike (Ndidi often too deep).

Snodgrass was dreadful for West Ham nowhere near as good as Townsend, when has Phillips consistently proved he is better than Townsend? All about opinions but I don't think either are better Townsend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 14 August 2017 Share Posted 14 August 2017 Burst on the England scene and did well yet could not get a game for Spuds and he looks a decent team player. We are pretty good with doing our homework on players and if we are keen it is because we have looked into him and what he would bring to us. For all the negativity about him football is a team game and the best team beats the best 11 players if he can improve the team well why not.

If Townsend could get anywhere close to giving us that defensive support and threat going forward Albrighton offers, he'd be a fine addition. Personally i think we already have one potentially in Ben Chilwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 15 August 2017 Share Posted 15 August 2017 Though I hate to do it, I have to agree with Babylon again. Chilwell's final ball is pants. I don't know what the coaches teach these kids tbh. Gray is exactly the same...quick, dynamic, looks dangerous.....until it comes to him crossing or making a final pass, which invariably leads to me shouting at him to 'get your head up son and look where the player is!' Chillers is the same and I suspect this may be why interest from the so called 'bigger club's' has wained. If the player hasnt the composure to actually finish what they started, then they offer not as much value as a player that can. This inability of the team at present to be able just to confidently slow things down when we need to and calmly keep the ball frustrates me so much. Having been brought up with the Gary McAllisters, Steve Thompson's and Garry Parkers of the footballing world, id so love to see one of these types in this team. It would make a huge difference.

That's why I'd so like to get a Sigurdsson at the club. If his stats haven't been as brill as they could be, well don't forget he's been playing in a poor Swansea side. Get him in a better team and I think he's be the steady head the team needs. And as I've said before. If we offload some of the poorer players in the squad (and it looks like Mahrez too) we could afford Gylfi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 15 August 2017 Share Posted 15 August 2017 Chilwell is a disgrace at defending and his crossing and passing in the final third is abysmal. Other than that he looks great which is bizarre for a player deemed to have a great future at the highest level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what is worrying, there's no sign of a player like this coming in, that any of us are aware of. Why we didn't pursue our interest in Silva I'll never Know, he has these qualities in abundance.

It is reminiscent of Joe Mattock who was tipped for greatness too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last year we could have attracted the likes of Sigurdsson with Champions league football... We're a different kettle of fish now! Sure he sees Everton as a club with bigger prospects and guaranteed European football. Our window of opportunity to sign players like him and Silva has been and gone!
