STILL WE HAVE 10M FROM SOULE DEAL 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

From the little I’ve seen of him he looks very promising. Still very young so has potential to improve further.

 

Lets get him over the line and then we can focus on 2 x centre mids, a striker and versatile attacker (Ayew 👀) 

[CrazyKopCorner]

I'm back on the bus - never heard of him until 5 minutes ago but my whole weekend now revolves around us signing him. 

 

gerrimin ffs

Very interesting article about him on SkySports, intriguing to see that it states he see’s himself as a no.10 not a winger.

That’s for the main target, Ayew 🤢

[Spudulike]

Is he better than Alves

Better at doing what?

[lcfc-fan1126]

First game as it stands

Daka

Mavididi asprilla fatawu

Winks Ndidi

Kristiansen okoli coady pereira

Mads

In possesion

Daka

Kristiansen mavididi asprilla fatawu

Winks ndidi

Okoli coady pereira

Mads

 

This doesn't get the best out of pereira or ndidi but that's our best attack

Can’t find to see we have just been used by his agent in the media to get a bit more money out of Rennes

Doesn't he play a similar role?

Option of either. He could rotate with Fatawu or play centrally. 

Didn’t realise he had played around 40% of the time as an AM, he would definitely add the flexibility we need for that. 
 

Juries out as to his output for goals and assists after losing KDH but he’s on an upward trajectory. Right time to buy him.

He’s a right sided attacker, that has played a fair amount as number 10.

Truth is, we think Alves is a 10, but he’s hardly played at first team level, so it’s. Hard to compare tbh

[Pliskin]

Looking at his highlights reel, it looks like he likes to come inside a lot, he looks like he’s more of a running 10 rather than a Maddison type player. Unless @Super_horns can suggest otherwise?

[JimJams]

This is the kind of deal that makes perfect sense for us. Almost all outcomes are positive.  If he's great and we get relegated, we have a Premier league standard player in the championship, or we sell for a profit.  If he's good and we survive, everyone wins.  If he's not up to it and we go down, he has performed well at championship level so he's good enough for our following season.  If he's not great and we survive, we don't stress it and we can choose to persevere or if we want to part ways we can at least recoup half the fee selling him to Leeds for their next promotion push.

I would be very surprised if Alves’ future in the pro game isn’t as a left winger. He needs a loan of full season development in the championship prior to us thinking about him being in the squad imo.

Because we probably don't have the money to buy a host of players.

 

We probably need 2 x ACM and a Back up winger and a Foward.

 

We probably can't afford 4 players, so having 1 who can play two roles is helpful.

It's unlikely that we get an ACM on top of this guy. It will be one or the other and if I had to choose i would pick a natural ACM rather than a player who's more natural on the wing.

[alanf0x]

Is this the guy who kicked the advertising board at Newcastle? If so, don’t need bad eggs like this 

[JimJams]

Er, Ketsbaia?  I think it's safe to say he didn't do it. Having not been conceived 26 years ago.

That was his Grandad. The most edgy this guy has got is when he once stared at a corner flag after missing a sitter.

His grandad is Temuri Ketsbaia?
