Who would you buy? (Part 2)

Hall is a much better progressive passer and distributor between those two, Kerkez can carry the ball well but has very limited passing vision and football brain.

A year ago Antoinee Robinson would have been the best LB choice but he is approaching 30 now.

Best case scenario is still bringing back Trent. A Liverpool team that has both TAA and Wharton would have been very scary.

As for Livramento, well, not many full-backs can play on both wings.

Jaquet is surely more than a ā€˜promising young centre back’. The club have dropped Ā£60m quid on him. That’s the eighth most expensive signing in our history, and on a par with what we spent on Szoboszai.

He can play all three positions equally badly.

One would hope so but given how young he is and how much of his football has been played as a middle of a three CB system rather than in a 2, I don’t think it is too farfetched to label him as promising.

Nico Williams had a quieter year at Bilbao, I’d be doing everything in my power to convince him to come now. The imminent basque connection could help with that.

Wasnt he very injured?

I’d rather have his cousin Neco back.

A couple of injuries last season, his record before that is pretty good though.

Why not both?

My mate who follows Milan says he’s just not consistent enough which is why no big club has gone for him. He has all the raw tools to be a top top forward but he only turns it on when he feels like it.

Yeah he is a very talented player. Brilliant in the Euros with Spain

Your mate is spot on.

Looks fancy and does the occacional great run but his heart also isnt in it and when he comes up against a good quick full back, he doesnt have the drive to go at them enough.

Highlights reel player.

Isnt he a striker though?

Would be expensive for a third striker if so.

Rayan and Scott look options. Neither is top quality in my opinion though. Maybe Rayan would be

I’m guessing the sorts of players the club were targeting this window while Arne was here will not change as they probably help improve the squad regardless.

I’ve only watched a couple of games, but I feel Ryan is very similar to Gakpo :joy: He’s not a skillful winger who beats opponents. Not what we need right now.

I think he“s quicker and better at creating for others and just generally passing the ball, but he wouldn“t be one of my top targets either.

What about Kroupi?

Diomande
Wharton
Van Hecke

At the least those three, or equivalent.

If we are going farther:

Camara/Sangare
Kroupi
