Yes, looked a very tricky and purposeful player. Think he'll be a great addition for them. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudulike Posted 15 August 2021 Share Posted 15 August 2021 Obviously Madueke is not Trincão but it does highlight the difficulty for young highly rated players coming here from euro leagues for big money. Trincão could turn out to be a decent player but yesterday he looked lost and overwhelmed. I don't know whether Wolves are committed to buy him but they also brought on another young player yesterday, Silva, that I believe cost £35m and at this stage I think the jury is out on the value of that deal. It's a massive risk for LCFC to fork out the amount being quoted for Madueke. We did it for Fofana and it worked fantastically well but unless the club are really flushed then I'd say its a risk to far at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he'd be a huge success as a winger Evidence (not inconsiderable) suggests Ricardo is markedly less effective as a winger or wingback. Considering it was Trincao's first game in the PL I thought he looked pretty good. He looked behind the game a few times but had some flashes of real skill. I'd take him over any of our so-called right wing options in a heartbeat. But by all means, if you want to think you know exactly what a player is going to be based on 70 minutes of one match, go ahead.

Gerard Posted 15 August 2021 Share Posted 15 August 2021 4 hours ago, An Sionnach said: We conceded 50 goals last season, 36 when we won the title. We scored 68 one of the best. To me it shows where we need to improve. 4 out of the last 5 champions have had the lowest XG conceded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he'd be a huge success as a winger Agree with this. We saw with Barnes yesterday. Not that he had a bad game but every time he got the ball further up the feel, the full back got very close, making it difficult for him to turn. Riccy is great running from deep into space. Riccy would do a job at RW but he is far more effective running from deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t running from deep he was well within the attacking half and not far from the edge of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a little different re coming from a European team as he’s an Englishman who’s came through an English academy at spurs since he was a kid… as for Trincao I personally thought he looked very good yesterday especially the second half! Very quick feet and hard to take the ball off, seemed to just ghost past players with ease 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh don’t get me wrong- he is. But if we inexplicably don’t get a RW in, there might be times when Castagne or whoever covers the RB and we have to bump Ricky P forward. It’s not an option id be hesitant in doing and probably one of the best ones available in our current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree because the only evidence is from last season, where by the way the evidence also suggested he wasn’t very good anywhere. im not ruling him out until we’ve seen him there when he is actually fit. He looks like he has the strength to take players on again now so it is well worth a test at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
