stu Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 Just now, An Sionnach said: At the end of the day , he is a downgrade on Lookman .So why waste money. Because we don't have Lookman, or most likely any other options at this point in the window. Like others have suggested we really don't have any options to play the way that Brendan wants without Barnes in the team i.e. 4-3-3. Barnes gets injured and we are stuck with with playing 3 at the back. So this guy is the cover for LW and an alternative option for the RW if we want to play with two attacking wingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 2 minutes ago, Sampson said: You could be right, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t coming in as our right winger. I'd say prepare to be surprised. With Tielemans evidently not leaving, I'd put money on this being our starting line-up for the majority of games this year: Vardy/Daka/Iheanacho Barnes, Maddison Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi, Tielemans JJ, Evans, Faes, Castagne Ward Think Boga will be a frequent introduction off the bench for Barnes. Rodgers likes that narrow, tucked-in wide right option with an overlapping full back and it lets him get Tielemans, KDH and Madders all in the team. I can see him maybe doing this in games where he expects us to dominate entirely if he gets the confidence: Vards Barnes, Madders, Boga KDH, Tielemans, <Defence> But probably less often and I wouldn't bet completely against Boga going left and Barnes shifting right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest itude Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 (edited) A loan with an option to buy would be fine. If we buy him for more than we could have had Lookman for ??? As others have said, Lookman is preferred by Atalanta to Boogeyman, and his stats are way better. Its just crazy if we have bought him, or loaned with an obligation to buy, I mean really crazy Edited 1 September 2022 by itude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just crazy that we've needed a left footed RW for years and yet here we are signing another LW to play out of position. ....hard to believe, the only way this makes any sense, is that Barnes plays upfront with either Nacho or Vardy!!! Barnes and Nacho do link up well, so it may be an option to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the quality of the PL is not good. Very much like Lookman last season. He did way better than we've previously been accustomed to from wingers we've signed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On two separate occasions, one of his teammate's steps in and (takes the ball off Boga's toes), in order to play a pass to a player through in on goal, and Boga, did not see the opportunity. He reminds me of a younger Karamoko Dembele, he would get the ball and have little thought of releasing it until he had scored, you have other players around you, use them.
