North Leeds Fox Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 We wouldn't be after him if BR didn't think he could step up. Hasnt had the best season but the ability is there. We will need to spread the goals around again next year which is why it is crucial we get a goalscoring winger along with a new striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brookfox Posted 1 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 1 June 2021 I’m willing to concede that BR knows more about him from the thousands of hours he’s watched him train compared to the 4min I’ve spent watching him on YouTube! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 Don’t think Edouard is what we need to be honest. The more I see of him the more I think he would be a bust here. The Premier League has always been known for having fast pace football but this has been intensified even further with pretty much every team in the league now aggressively pressing the game. I just don’t think Edouard is particularly suited to the style of football that is played in England. With his skill set a move to Italy or Spain would be better for him in my personal opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chocolate Teapot Posted 1 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 1 June 2021 This reminds me of the discussion that people wanted Tarkowski instead of Fofana as he was PL proven. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 This will clearly be down to Rodgers, the last signing he was credited as wanting done no matter the cost was Perez. Let's hope this one goes better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 16 hours ago, Ric Flair said: I have this nagging feeling that if he comes here he won't do well. I just don't think he's got the type of game that will endear him to the fans. Don't think he's quick enough nor presses aggressively enough. That said I think he's nailed on coming here so very little point even talking about alternatives. He needs an overnight sea change in terms of attitude or else I fear you may be correct. He looked the same half arsed way for France last night as he had for us all season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we are talking fees, considering he had a buy out clause it's not even true is it, because the costs were fixed. All rumours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 People thought he didn't look arsed yesterday...? In the bits that I saw he was pressing and closing down plenty, just seemed like he wasn't getting much service. He'll fit right in. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 He’s done it in Europe for Celtic! So not a one trick pony. He’s proved himself at every level he can. I have faith he’d be top class for us. He’s just had covid and a long ass season. I wouldn’t judge him on yesterday’s performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 You can go from zero to hero in a couple of games as a striker . Ask Iheanacho. Many a striker has been rubbish for 80 mins. scored a couple of goals and then had the pundits raving about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's our whole model. As Rodgers has said, we're looking for 'silver medallists' who have that drive to grow and develop. We're never buying the finished article. Also, what would be the fun in just getting finished articles? How boring to never see players develop at Filbert Way.

Lambert09 Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 Genuinely hopeful this is going to be a great signing personally. I love how half of this forum have watched one preseason game, that involved a team of players who didn’t want to get injured and now know everything about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 1 June 2021 Share Posted 1 June 2021 Well Kalechi went from a certainty to be sold, to be the best striking option we had. If Brendan thinks this lad has the minerals to be a baller I trust him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
