Houssem Aouar

[RowlattsFox]

There is always one thread every summer where we are linked to an exciting player that we were never going to sign but we hold on to hope until he signs for someone else. Is this this years?

For any big fat stats nerds like

 

You need to be toggling the per90 stats, so the guys on here can whack one out to his ball carrying stats, only to then burst into tears at his defensive stats.

I believe some Monaco fans weren't too upset with Youri leaving...

Not many of ours are either

Feels more like a Maddison replacement than Youri, to me at least. Good player though!

Let's also sign the emerging 18year old star at Lyon RB Malo Gusto who looks amazing in the YouTube highlights at saw yesterday.

Lyon producing some greats talents at the moment like Newcastle's recent signing Bruno Guimaraes.  

Let's get them both before Man U get them to overall their squad in the summer

Not ready for a midfielder with even less defensive contribution than Youri

Yes! Yes! Yes!

 

I think he’s been unsettled at Lyon for t he past few years and his agent has been causing issues. He’s still performing at a high level, though.

The format of stats that Beechy posted gives you an even clearer picture as there’s more to go on.

 

That’s what I tend to use when I go on that website 🙂

This would be a great signing.

Houssem ooo-ah welcome to lest-ah

Vardy

 

 

That’s a very exciting team ! I do feel slightly sorry for Ndidi in that line up though ! Will have a hell of a lot of ground to cover as I don’t think Aouar is great without the ball.

 

Could be something like:

 

                            Ndidi

                  Aouar       Dewsbury Hall 

 

      Madueke       Vardy        Maddison

 

Free role for JM10 to roam off the left coming on his right foot, creating havoc in the pockets. KDH and left back providing the width on the left. Barnes as impact/rotation when needed

....would love to ban the 4-3-3 unless we have people in the right places, and then would only use it sparingly!!!

[Kinowe Soorie]

Been reading some of the translated tweets… not very kind about him

Good scrabble name

Why ? Some of our best performances this season have been using it. I actually like Maddison off the left or right. I find having him central in a 4-2-3-1, he is always in a congested area and is more easy for the defensive mid to mark him. Playing off the left or right, he can find more space, arrive late into the pockets. The 4-2-3-1 is too safe and structured, doesn’t allow for rotation of position. Maddison off the left, interchanging with KDH and the left back, I just think makes us more unpredictable, can rotate positions easier, provide overloads, and just that element of madness to our attacking play 

 

I have been really impressed with how Maddison has matured tactically this season as in previous years when asked to play off the left or right he has taken it very literally, and stayed wide, but he has really learnt how to find spaces and get into the right positions this season. 

[Wink]

If he’s the replacement for Tielemans then I’d be pretty happy with this. My main concern is the highlight reel shows him to be completely different to Youri and if we want to get better at breaking down a low block then I’m not sure if he’s the right guy. We could certainly do worse than this for sure!

[Ric Flair]

Aouar is very creative, he's not a in your face number 10/ACM but he's also not very combative when playing deep so we'd need to ensure that we got the set up right. He's essentially the perfect player for us to go back to 4-1-4-1 where Ndidi was tasked purely to destroy and break up play and there were x 2 8's pushing up and supporting the attack as much as possible. Aouar and Maddison would be very dangerous as a pair. You'd also want a high energy right winger there too so get Madueke in as well and I'd be very very excite.

[Luttfox]

Would deff soften the blow of losing Tielemans for me, also looks like he could be a bit of nasty **** too
