splinterdream Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 I really wish we’d have put that £15m we used for vesty and used it for an attacking midfielder, our hesitancy is costing us, I’d rather have used benkovic who looked fine pre season and got rid of Perez, the guy makes Gray’s time with us look like an age of golden wingers.

Aleksz Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 Why aren’t we in for Faivre? Literally fits the bill of what we’re looking for. Milan have made contact today apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan have made contact today apparently. Likely because we aren’t spending anymore money - which is a touch daft as failing to get in a decent RW will cost us probably more in prize money than buying Faivre or similar. I just don’t quite get it as our shortcomings are obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? Up until we moved to 3 at the back with the injuries to Ndidi and Soyuncu Praet started in the dual 8 role with Tielemans and Perez was in his usual spot on the right with Barnes on the left? Or was Perez in the 8 role? I'd be surprised if he was, Perez was crap anyway and quickly got chinned from the whole squad and told to buck his ideas up.

VLC86 Posted 26 August 2021 Share Posted 26 August 2021 My week has been one long March towards having a pint of toilet duck I swear. We don’t shift anyone without having to soften the deal for them (pay loads of their wages). **** me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing as an inverted RW, basically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t think we could afford a fee for the likes of Tomiyasu as it stands (eg. Around £15-20m). But it’s pretty obvious we should lose one of our fringe mids to get a new winger in unless they’re gonna be U21. Praet is probably the one.

A more direct option is what we need, hopefully we get someone in like Brekalo or James on loan who can play on the right when we need that on that side and can be cover for Barnes when he needs a rest on the left. Brekalo on loan seems like one of the most likely options, and he can cover both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the ones against it. We can't materialise another player til we shift them. If we do have RW in mind or likely then it also wil have to wait. Known for our VERY patient fans, this news will go down exactly as expected. Edited 26 August 2021 by sphericalfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their agents busted a gut to get them their deals and they are going to be advising them not to accept a penny less. Praet and Hamza would both get loans if we subsidize their wages. We have done that before so its up to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
