We have Shaw who can play there if we have a decent left back to bring in?
add a midfielder to that (probably Amrabat) and it's the best window in a very very long time
The bolded part is a bit of a reach. Where else would he be? The reserves? He has been playing PL football since he was 19, about to start his 7th PL season. He is one of the world's best tacklers, very good when it comes to recovering, reads the game surprisingly well, and is a decent ball carrier.
His problem is concentration, and as you say, gets caught out of position too often for a right back. More often than not, he manages to save the situation, so it's not like a lot of the goals we concede are on him, but it's a bit of a risk when he loses focus.
His offensive contributions started off pretty decent, with 4 assists in his first PL season for us, and 2 goals + 4 assists in his second. Now that we haven't played with a striker, his contributions have gone noticably down, and he barely crosses anymore. When he does it, it's actually pretty good. They're often on the ground so the target can hit it instantly (like Mejbri against Bilbao).
At the very least, he will be a back-up, and hopefully ahead of Dalot.
Why not get an actual CB instead of worsening the LB position?
Would gladly be proven wrong, but do you really think we want both McT and Amrabat in our squad? So what would we have done if we had sold McT to West Ham? Buy Amrabat and another CM? Lets be realistic here.
This is from the Luckhurst article :
He's 25. When is he going to develop this concentration?
Reserves, no,I expect him to be sold, along with Dalot (unless they improve significantly) if we want to be challenging for titles. One of them may be kept as a back-up but neither are really good enough.
He already has, in my opinion. Last season, he was much more positionally secure and had way fewer concentration lapses than in the previous seasons. Whether he further improves it remains to be seen this coming season. I just don't think he is someone we should sell, as I think he is definitely good enough to be part of a PL winning squad, at least as a rotational player.
We shall see. There was an improvement but I didn't really see what everyone was so impressed by. Maybe, he can kick on.
The fact it is a planned transfer window with some logic behind it, rather than just random signings that just don't fit in.
I do love a Brucey Bonus, especially if it's called Pavard, he'd have Varanes place in the starting XI by Christmas.
A work experience student could've written this piece. 'Here are a list of players with a year left on their contracts next summer.'Including Salah and TAA as well, AI would have done a better job.
That was a response to AWB not being good at heading balls away.Ok mate.
That's also gone into the transfer tweets feed btw.
Shiit, does every tweet here automatically go in the transfer twitter feed? In that case I apologize.
I suppose that's the max we could get from a Turkish team.
The discrepancy between the English market and rest of Europe is mad.
Is Pavard the one who scored a worldie in the world cup?
Not if you put it in quotes. Also I couldn't view it from this country.
Yeah that one against Argentina in 2018 where the ball is spinning like a top but hits it sweetly
Yep, the Premier League market is a giant bubble where nothing makes sense and it's separated from reality.
And if the BBC is to be believed Amrabat wants to join Atletico Madrid not us
That’s because for the last month, we haven’t made any bid. Of course he’d rather join someone who bids for him
Have you got the article
If we sell McTominay, VDB and Fred and only have Mount as a midfield signing we are asking for trouble in the event of injuries.
I felt Shaw played better as LCB to be fair. was brilliant in both positions last season. But if Harry goes we need another to replace for sure.
That won‘t happen. Fred or McT out is Amrabat in probably.
VdB can be replaced with Hanniball.
Especially considering last season we emergency loaned in Sabitzer. I would assume Mainoo and Hannibal will get more chances this season though potentially, plus one more signing.
it's according to a Spanish paper I think. Spanish paper in 'player prefers to come to Spain' shocker
Not really. Mount replaces Fred, Mainoo replaces McTominay and quite frankly nobody needs to replace Donny, but we've got Hannibal for good measure. Besides, we absolutely will sign another midfielder should all of those three depart.
Exactly - the BBC aggregate any old tat in that column, as opposed to their 'official' football news announcements (largely by Stone)..
Mount is Fred's replacement. I think we will buy a dm/first phase midfielder to replace McTominay; probably Amrabat, hopefully Caicedo. Hannibal/Mainoo can replace vdB's non existent minutes. We would still have EtH's first choice trio from last season: Casemiro, Eriksen and Bruno.
Same here. I'd rather sell McT. for 30-40 Mio. and keep Fred if to choose which one to sell/keep.
Were you impressed when he wins his 1 v 1 battles consistently up against the best left wingers in the league? Matoma at Brighton had right backs scrambling last year but AWB won his battles almost every time. That, to me, is very impressive.
What an absolute trash article
Here are a load of players with 2 years left on their contract, so, next year, they'll only have one year left.
They don't half write a lot of drivel.
