His numbers are good in a wank St Etienne team He's sort of what Schlupp was to us from 14/15 - 16/17. Just when you think there's a player there he's the absolute pits. Nordin is technically better but up until this season hadn't kicked on much at all. I must admit this season he's having his best season and yet I've not paid much attention to him. Could be a Lookman type low key player that might pick up significantly in his mid twenties. 1

Yeah swerve, Barnes is turning into a roulette wheel player now so we can't afford another. Messing around with the FBref's player data and the only half realistic decent left footed u25 RW is Rutter. If Carles Perez play more then maybe him.

I'd be all over the possible unrest in Ukraine for Tete or Tysgankov. 1
Dan Posted 21 February 2022 Posted 21 February 2022 I still think we need more left footers. I'm no advocate for the beck 5 he plays but we haven't got the personnel for it in the slightest and it's that above all that's the problem. We'd have so much more flexibility if we had a left footed centre back and a more attacking left back. I'd love Schlotterbeck but he's off to Bayern by all accounts.
lcfc sheff Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 My controversial take on goalies is if they’re good in say the championship they’ll be also good in the prem, after all it’s not like they suddenly can’t save a shot in the prem. obviously depends on the quality of defence in front of them and how many shots are allowed at them but I’d have thought a goalie playing well for a what we can call pretty average team in Preston is then worth a shot in the prem.

Silebyfox_89 Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 A midfielder/forward who wants to head the ball. In recent games watching a lack of intent to head the 2nd balls & crosses, KDH, Youri, Daka n nacho all very timid to head the ball. Almost pointless playing Albrighton at times as I thought his delivery was good against Wolves but no one wanted to commit.
LVFox Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 Svanberg from Bologna would be a great Youri replacement. Can pass through the lines, but also has an engine - a six-footer too and only 23. 1

That's not the end of the world but the team has to then pick up thst slack elsewhere which is why it's crucial we get a right winger who is of Raphinha/Mahrez type player.

Agree on creativity - but think he's going to be hard to replace in that regard. I also like Kocku at Feyenoord but not sure if he gives the defensive protection that Tielemans can. We are crying out for a winger with some unpredictability - Madueke seems obvious one. 1

Kocku is having a great season under a great manager. Go get them both. An audacious bid would be Xavi Simmons from PSG

An audacious bid would be Xavi Simmons from PSG ....Xavi Simmons was around the same time as Karamoko, he just seems to be very much going backwards at the moment!!! Watching him play and he seems to be under so much pressure and does not look like he is enjoying it. It appears that football is something he is good at but not what he really wants to do. It is a very high pressure club to be in, and there is a lot expected of him, to come through to become a stellar player. Karamoko coming back from an operation needs to try and catch up and he is now 18 but his physique has not changed much, and lack of time on the pitch has held him back. Always felt as a gamble we should look to bring him in here, his contract is about up now and he and Xavi Simmons may just turn out to be stars that petered out infront of us. 1
lcfc sheff Posted 22 February 2022 Posted 22 February 2022 he’d be a dream, although Newcastle will offer a stupid amount come summer 1
sacreblueits442 Posted 23 February 2022 Posted 23 February 2022 (edited) .....for a reasonable price 20m Euro I should think, we have to be looking for Mahmoud Dahoud in as a central midfielder!!! He is positive, has great skill on the ball and would be a better value than English players currently in the Premier League. I can see him being overlooked and us watching him from afar and wondering how we managed to miss out on getting his signature. BVB has some terrific players and he is one of them.

FoxesWalk Posted 23 February 2022 Posted 23 February 2022 Suspect the summer Berardi links were because of genuine interest. Hopefully he is the RW we are targeting in the summer. In his prime and contract expires in 2024. I would guess Perez will leave given he only has 1 year left and can’t get a game.

LVFox Posted 23 February 2022 Posted 23 February 2022 I like Berardi as a player and can’t believe he’s been sat at Sassuolo for so long but for me that ship has sailed. I want to see us go back to bringing in early 20’s.

I was going to say can't imagine him going for stupid money but the possible fees getting thrown around for Kocku might suggest otherwise.
Nick Posted 23 February 2022 Posted 23 February 2022 I’ve always been an advocate of two players for each position. That means we need without question a right sided winger/forward (sigh) and a central midfielder as a minimum starting point. 1
