Foxxed Posted 13 September 2020 Share Posted 13 September 2020 1 hour ago, Zaphod Beeblebrox said: So everyone wants a rw with Perez apparently not good enough. This guy and ounas I believe did not score together the amount Perez did last season. Why on earth would either be a better option? He’s a winger and 23? Perez isn’t really a winger and 27. I agree he’s not head and shoulders above Perez but it’s worth noting that nearly 40% of Perez’s goals were against the collapsed Soton. With Albrighton a safe squad filler, gray an impact sub, and perez being played out of position, I’d be happy to see this guy, if Brooks etc don’t come.

Popular Post honeybradger Posted 13 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 13 September 2020 (edited) People who point to perez's goals and assists dont understand football. Perez has 2 modes, 1 where he's playing out wide and doesnt offer much as he doesnt cross, doesnt dribble and doesnt cut inside to shoot which are the 3 staple traits of being a winger. The other mode is where he moves centrally into his usual position and this is where he gets almost all his goals and assists from. The games where he's been most effective for us are the ones against opposition that are so bad that he can neglect the first mode and play his favoured position without it effecting the rest of the team, against better teams where we need someone out wide for buildup and to stretch the play he struggles to perform as he's out of his depth in that area. Before people say that this is just BR's tactics there isnt a fluid way for perez to transition between his 2 styles of play so it ends up being clunky in practice.

Nod.E Posted 13 September 2020 Share Posted 13 September 2020 Do think we need a genuine winger. Never seen this lad play but a few that have seem excited which is enough for cautious optimism from me. If of course there's any truth in this. You get the feeling there is one position in the squad as a supporting 10 / Vardy backup and yet we have both Perez and Ian. Good to have options I suppose should we want to go two up top at any point, but if I had to choose between getting a quality RW stater or keeping both Perez and Ian, I'd choose the former. We'd probably be saying goodbye to Ian judging from comments from BR, rash subs and general lack of game time. Shame because I think both are good players and I want them both to succeed. Ideally we'd just get rid of Gray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 14 September 2020 Share Posted 14 September 2020 Will he be any better than Perez for us? Don't know. If he's available for the right price then maybe, but he had a very underwhelming season last year and has never been a particularly productive player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 14 September 2020 Share Posted 14 September 2020 Just get this done FFS. Guy is mustard. Few downsides. Reasonable season and he doubles in value. Cag’s mate. Can only see positives here - although it’s not exactly under the radar now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 14 September 2020 Share Posted 14 September 2020 A bit sceptical of this. If he’s not good enough for Roma, why would he be good enough for us?

NaijaFox Posted 14 September 2020 Share Posted 14 September 2020 16 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: If it meant Cags stays at the club for longer then that's an added bonus. It might also motivate Under to try and match his friend in terms of professionalism and desire to get better. Cengiz Under has been highly rated for several years (rightly so) but went to Roma a bit too early. He was part of the "Monchi generation" when Monchi went there as DOF from Sevilla and tried to replicate the Sevilla model for Roma. It didn't work for them (they needed more time) and Roma were a little impatient. This player has a lot of potential and a new start with a good coach and a close friend could unlock his potential. Sadly, I don't think it will have any substantive bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
