Long Eaton Fox Posted 7 July 2023 Posted 7 July 2023 7 minutes ago, An Away Move said: Anyone think Alves could step up and do a job in the Barnes/Maddison positions? With the caveat that he makes a full recovery of course. If we’d have stayed up there’s a chance he might have been loaned out to a Championship club anyway, though Rodgers was even ready to give him a run in the first team before the injury. If he was a Man City academy player people would be saying he’d be an exciting prospect we should buy! Especially as he's injured

Dan Posted 7 July 2023 Posted 7 July 2023 4 hours ago, Ric Flair said: If we don't go for him, I can only presume we aren't interested in playing any form of wingers. Will be wing backs and central attacking midfielders. Which limites flexibility in changing systems too. Can only conclude we used about 10 years of winger luck on Mahrez. Only explanation.

Ric Flair Posted 8 July 2023 Posted 8 July 2023 I've a feeling we're going to bid £20m for Alex Scott this week. 2

Ric Flair Posted 8 July 2023 Posted 8 July 2023 6 minutes ago, LestaLad said: Hahahaha no chance. Quite possibly, the options for him in the PL seem to have shrunk. I personally don't think he's yet worth the £25m Bristol City have quoted Brighton and Wolves, it's a big risk and they seem to have walked away.

Would he be a Maddison replacement as ACM or is he more of a CM? I think we are prepared to spend as we have shown already. Would be a long term investment.

I get why some might believe this to be an unlikely scenario, but we need to consider that he's still only 19. If he were to transfer to a top six Premier League team, he'd most likely play a bit part role, which could potentially himder his growth as a player. Even if he were to join a mid-tier team, there's no guarantee that they would regularly field a 19-year-old with relatively limited experience. Despite wearing blue tinted specs, I truly wonder if there's a better option for him than us. With the squad we're assembling, there's a strong likelihood of us earning a promotion (fingers crossed), which would provide him with another year in a high-performance environment before making a major leap to regularly playing in the Premier League next year 2

I think eventually he'll be an attacking midfielder but for now his end product is unpolished and he's slotted in in various roles. 1

FosseSpark Posted 8 July 2023 Posted 8 July 2023 Alex Scott Callum Doyle James McAtee Joel Piroe Steffen Squad GK: Steffen, Iversen, Smithies FB: Justin, Ricardo, Kristiansen, Faes CB: Coady, Faes, Souttar, Doyle, Nelson CM: Scott, Ndidi, Winks, KDH, Braybrooke Wingers: McAtee, Albrighton, Alves, Maswasinhe, Madivadua Strikers: Vardy, Daka, Piroe Still to go: Barnes, Iheanacho, Ward, Castagne, Praet

If Iverson is not first choice, he needs to go and bring some income towards his replacement. He’s not a second choice keeper at Championship level and as others have said, if he doesn’t fit the style that Enzo wants, get rid. Ndidi would also be at the top of the sell list for me. We can’t have him around the squad again. And I assume the Faes at full back (as opposed to the one at centre back) is actually Thomas?
RowlattsFox Posted 8 July 2023 Posted 8 July 2023 Not worried just yet but would've liked to see some good links to wide players, even if Barnes stays. 1
