boosmanana Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 He'd he a huge upgrade offensively on any of our midfielders. Comfortable and classy on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 To save the clickbait Bournemouth and Leicester City are both ready to bid for Celta Vigo midfielder Stanislav Lobotka, according to claims on Thursday. Italian outlet Calcio Mercato reports that both Premier League sides are keen on the player and should be making an offer of €25m for him. The website claims that Celta’s director Felipe Miñambres keeps ‘frequent contacts’ with English clubs. Bournemouth and Leicester City, however, could find some competition from Chelsea for the player. The Blues are looking for a replacement for Cesc Fabregas and have the 24-year-old as one of the names on their list. Anther club interested in signing Lobotka are Napoli, but the Italian side would only get him on a loan with an option to buy. As Celta’s intention is a permanent sale or a loan with an obligatory buying clause, they don’t stand much of a chance. It’s claimed that Lobotka is currently protected by a €50m release clause.

Nick Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 A brief search reveals he’s had one assist in 14 games, scored none and his main position is defensive midfield though can play central/attacking roles. Exciting and daring territory this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 Pretty poor this season, would not be that bothered if we didn't go for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentFox Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 I hope he is an intelligent player, if he signs, as I think we can all see what his nickname will be otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieB Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 His YouTube videos are similar to Drinkwaters recent ones all sideway and back passing he'll fit right in. What is it we're scouting in a midfielder ffs back pass king ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 3 minutes ago, davieG said: I love how people take this rumours seriously I wouldn't be shocked, us having two DCM's isn't the problem. It's having two DCM's who aren't quick enough or accurate enough when on the ball. If we could revert Ndidi back to being the ball winner and put someone next to him capable of being the more forward thinking CM, in terms of quick ball to start attacking I think we'd see a difference. Ndidi being tasked as being the more forward thinking player is doomed to fail as he just can pass the ball accurately enough. He has so many chances to put ball into space but just gives it away, that adds to the sloppy / slow forward movement we have. Two attacking full backs, two wingers, a 10 and a 9 is enough to create so long as those in the middle can feed them quick enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 This lad is very good. Played England a couple of years ago, he’s superb mover of the ball. He’s not an assist maker but more the midfielder who can play the through ball to unlock a defence. His stats won’t be incredible on assists. Intelligent footballer which we lack in bucketloads 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been a player the stats geeks have spoke about for a while. Stuff like this : Stanislav Lobotka: Of the 172 players to have attempted 15+ dribbles, Lobotka has a better dribble success rate (87.5%) than any other player in Europe's top five leagues this season Edited 17 January 2019 by Cardiff_Fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v6rat Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 No brainer this one, we need two players for every position, so we have three DM at the moment and obviously need three more for cover and competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebfromgrebland Posted 17 January 2019 Share Posted 17 January 2019 We really need someone like him who can dribble the ball up from midfield. Unfortunately he's out of our league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
