The man is a monster / machine / freak of nature pick your superlative. Point being he is world class at what he does and there are very few senior players in the world that could compare let alone 21 year olds. 1

So his back-up or long term successor should also be in the same mould imo. Soumaré isn't anything like him and won't ever be.

To pluck an example out of thin air, Mousa Dembele is someone who very rarely scored or assisted for Spurs but probably wouldn't be classed as a defensive midfielder. You could say our very own Dennis is another 3
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 Fabrizio reckons we're trying to tie this up sharpish, be a strange one wouldn't it. In terms if priorities a striker and a winger will be 1 and 2 won't they. Exciting that we're likely to have KDH, Sowah and Iversen join the squad too. Wonder what the plan with sowah is- he might benefit from just being around our squad for a year.

Do you think we're likely to try to find him a top-end Championship loan or have him stick around and challenge (or potentially displace altogether) Ward?

I'd like to think he gets another loan, on the same sort of trajectory as Dean Henderson. How many games would he play as cover for Schmeichel, who under Rodgers even plays lots of cup games instead of Ward? He's very young for a goalkeeper, he's got plenty of time to make it here. 3

Jakupovic won't get another year I'd imagine so he'll be in and around the squad I reckon. Purely based on guesswork but the club were obviously very keen to get him playing a decent level of football this year weren't they.

I follow him on Twitter and know that he’s fairly reliable. My point was that it’s not a story anyone else has latched on to, for what that’s worth

If you're not a player that wins the ball back then you need to be creative or score goals which he doesn't. If he's supposedly going to play the Tielemans role then he needs to up his goal contributions massively. Tielemans has 7 so far this season, this guy has 3 in his whole career. We have a player in Dewsbury-Hall who will make a fantastic Tielemans understudy next season.
CosbehFox Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 4 hours ago, Shane said: Tchouameni's stats are insane! However to be fair Soumare's stats aren't that bad either and with 1 year left on his contract he is probably a more viable option. Quite a significant difference there on playing time for Tchouameni
turlo Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 Reading this he's more of a box to box than a DM, similar to a Doucoure at Everton although his stats are behind both defensively and offensively. https://totalfootballanalysis.com/player-analysis/boubakary-soumare-2019-20-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics

Scotch Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 I'd take this fella and KDH over Hamza and Mendy....
moore_94 Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 Not quite sure if Soumare is the right player we should be after He has mainly played in a 2 man midfield with Benjamin Andre this season, who is certainly the more Wilf-esque player of the 2, but then Soumare hasn't even really been much of a creative player so he doesn't really do the Youri role either He is a better back up than either of Mendy or Hamza, but unless it is a really cheap deal, not sure it would be worth it 1
casablancas Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 Wasn’t Soumare touted as a 30mil player last season? Sure Newcastle we’re heavily linked with him. Perhaps with the contract situation we see him as someone we could get on the cheap and perhaps sell on for a decent profit? Just a guess
kingfox Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 Soumare is a weird one, his stats don’t jump off the page, not the kind of midfielder I’d go for. If we want a better back up to Ndidi, one of Joao Palhinha, Ibrahim Sangare or Diadie Samassekou would be the answer. If we want a box to box midfielder, I’d look at Teun Koopmeiners from Alkmaar. 2
tylesta Posted 22 February 2021 Posted 22 February 2021 The last few pages of this thread sounds like ndidi is not a leicester player
