Soumare has come on leaps and bounds last few games and will lose the ball, but I think will get better and better. Thing is, I think Youri has a key banger left in him. ...in a midfield 3, Soumare needs a creative player and a DM with him!!! If he is a replacement it would be for KDH who has the same role, but totally different in style. We are not looking for too much creativity from Soumare although he has it, but not on the level of Tielemans. Tielemans inconsistencies are his downfall, we need someone who we can rely on to give us a 7/8 every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Langton Fox Posted 2 May 2023 Share Posted 2 May 2023 23 hours ago, DennisNedry said: I have to disagree. He ran himself into the ground tonight, several times he was running back as fast as he could and was blowing out of his arse. He cares, he's just not fit enough! He is unfit, he’s hardly played in recent weeks and last night was end to end. He has however not looked for the ball in a number of games earlier in the season and there is no excuse for that.

Sir Shep Posted 3 May 2023 Share Posted 3 May 2023 I do wonder if he ends up at arsenal whether he'd get to play much. Still his choice so good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Won't get a better central midfielder in the position this club is in. I've always said he isn't good/fit enough for a top club but we will miss him when he is gone. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't have been if the club looked into getting a new goalkeeper years before. Kasper was getting to an age where he was gonna leave or retire, and used to say how he wanted to play in Europe. The fact the club just continued and didn't bother getting a new number 1 in was criminal. It's one of the reasons we are in this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the reasons we are in this mess. ..the question would be, why would we have looked to bring another goalkeeper in, when Ward was thought to be good enough!!! The fact that Ward failed to meet our expectations is very much part of the problem, along with a manager who put the club's status in the Premier League in jeopardy, in order to make a point.

theessexfox Posted 3 May 2023 Share Posted 3 May 2023 Think he'd suit Arsenal more with their more possession-heavy style, it's when we're in a physical midfield battle and getting overrun when he struggles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCJohn Posted 3 May 2023 Share Posted 3 May 2023 Will be interesting to see what happens with Youri. I suspect it will be 3 options; 1 - a genuine top English side have been biding their time to sign him for free. Most like Arsenal or Man Utd. Here he would be a squad player off the bench. 2 - goes to a European side, possibly more suited to his pace and wanting him on the ball. Italian league would suit him. Probably is more of a key player in a side going further in Europe. 3 - he isn’t as appealing as he thought but wants to stay in England with his best offers being Newcastle or Aston Villa. He would probably be a first team player, or until replaced in Newcastle’s case. This would be disappointing as it would be hard for him to claim these are the kind of ‘dream moves’ he ran his contract down for. In the case of Villa, they are not even likely to reach the heights we have whilst he has been with us. I hope he goes for option 2 (like Soyuncu going to a legitimate European giant). It would make the decision to run his contract down justified and allow him to be a key player for a side competing at the highest level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the consistent loan spells for Iversen and why those loans continued to take him up a level. For how little we seem to utilise loaning players out or getting those loans out right, I think it speaks volumes as to what the plan for Iversen was. Rodgers decided against sticking with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management obviously see different, as they did give Ward a chance too. Though Iversen is the better out of the two and it shouldn’t have taken this long for him to replace Ward.

Matt Posted 3 May 2023 Share Posted 3 May 2023 (edited) Obviously we're not privy to who or who isn't interested in him, for all we know he may have signed a contract with someone. However I do find it quite amusing Soy has signed for Atletico, Amartey is apparently going AC Milan, but it seems no-one is interested or in for Youri. I didn't think anyone would pay money for Youri but I thought there be a few clubs interested in him on a free and you'd think there'd be rumours, even the Arsenal rumours seem to have gone cold, unless i've missed them. There was a reason why no 'top' clubs were willing to gamble on him before he ended up here. Edited 3 May 2023 by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it’s wrong but I think he’s been fantastic and kept us in a few games. Quite young for a keeper and thrown in at Premier League level into the fire really given our position. He can only improve with age and experience. Is it based on specific traits or that he is just not fashionable enough? (Not meant to come across as a dig by the way). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LcFc_Smiv Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 Epitomises everything about how soft this club has become. Fat useless **** shouldn’t be anywhere near the team as soon as he decided not to sign his contract. Instead we trot him out week in week out and even go as far as giving him the armband. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 8 May 2023 Share Posted 8 May 2023 Gotta hurt that it seems no one is interested in him, even on a free. Get out of our club, he's delusional if he thinks he deserves to play for a top club in top competitions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
