So adapting to being shit in many different functions (or positions) technically is versatile You've persuaded me! Gerrimin! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you rightfully point out, there is a difference between a player who can be genuinely strong across positions, even like a Ricardo or JJ or an attacking midfielder who can play across the front line. AMN has never nailed down a position and is generally average at best. Reminds me a bit of a more attacking version of Amartey in that sense.

And I think I've heard that he primarily wants to be a centre mid which I don't think he has the attributes for at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stopharage Posted 3 August 2023 Share Posted 3 August 2023 Would far rather get in Oxlade-Chamberlain over Maitland-Niles. Added bonus is that with his injury record he’ll fit right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, depends what kind of bids come in and how desperate we are to shift players out. Think it's clear we are after 3 positions atm CM, RW and RW/AM Depending on departures you'd think we'd further replace those players, excluding GK's. With both ins and outs, the loan market will play a big part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diallo would obviously be a stupidly good signing but I don't see how we get him. I'd imagine a Premier League club will want him on loan or if not he'd go back to Sunderland. Still more than a chance he stays at United too IMO. I don't see us wanting Archer or indeed Villa wanting Archer to come here given we have 3 Premier League level forwards already in Vardy, Iheanacho and Daka.

JimJams Posted 3 August 2023 Share Posted 3 August 2023 (edited) Would make a lot of sense given Coadys injury and the fact that even if we're ok with Vesty for a season, he's out of contract next year anyway. £15mill is the asking price apparently. *In his last year so should be able to get something done for less than that you'd imagine.

He's the nuts. I'd imagine he's not been snapped up at £15m, due to a lot of sell-on and buy-back clauses from Man City, but I hope we just take the plunge and suck these up.

Local move for him, Peterborough in trouble so wouldn’t be too expensive and wouldn’t command high wages. Yet no noises at all. Seemingly we would still rather go down the big names/big wages route I'd imagine we're already over burdened with wages in that position we can't afford to take anyone else in until we shift a couple on.
