Lesta Legend Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July 5 minutes ago, Grebfromgrebland said: I don't think we're going to be in the market for player with great reviews - hopefully he has been chosen because of specific attributes that Cooper wants for a CB and therefore will be brilliant for us and just us. Then we sell him This is it. If stats and analytics have been done around a specific requirement then we’d hope this is what they’ve found here. By the looks of it we will definitely be pragmatic under Cooper and possibly strong on set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted 4 July Author Share Posted 4 July 3 minutes ago, FoxOnWheels said: Where would we play Ricardo/ Fatawu is my biggest worry with that I think they could both play RWB but could Ricardo play CM in the prem I'd guess 3-4-3. Ricardo, VK and Justin wing backs. Keep Fatawu doing what he was last season. We don't have many central midfielders at the min; so this would just need two. But it could all change depending on future moves. Also means we've got more tall players for attacking and defending set pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July 12 minutes ago, StriderHiryu said: He's not as slow as Doyle, Vestergaard, etc. I wouldn't say he's slow, but he's no pace merchant. It's hard to say because the official stats sites don't have stats for pure pace or acceleration. But if you see him on the eye and also see sites like Football Manager, EAFC, his pace is reasonable but nothing like Kyle Walker or someone like that: https://fminside.net/players/4-fm-24/43372285-caleb-okoli I think Atalanta are good at making us overpay for players they no longer need. I'm not expecting him to be one of the fastest players in world football, just not a total oil tanker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July looks good, from what I've seen on Youtube Does look fast, to me, and plays on the left hand side of defence, in a four, but right footed. Definitely knows how to put a block in Wouldn't like to mark him for set pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July 4 minutes ago, Babylon said: I'm not expecting him to be one of the fastest players in world football, just not a total oil tanker. FWIW, he was quite highly rated in Italy, but hasn't had the best season at Frosinone who he was on loan at, and who got relegated. But do remember that Cesare Casadei was / is also quite highly rated in Italy too What I would say is that this is a player that if we get relegated will be a beast in the Championship and he might be good enough to play in a relegation scrapping team now. Also has resale value, so overall on paper not a bad one. I just think we should have got one of the other centre backs out first. We collect CBs like stamps at this club.

Tommy G Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July 42 minutes ago, Stadt said: Not the most efficient use of wages, whicehver one (or two) we don't sell are going to be on a wedge. I was thinking the upside of Cooper is that he might actually utilise some of the assets we already had e.g Souttar/Coady. However if it's Faes we sell and if it's £20m+ we probably do ok out of this. Play either of those regulalrly in the Prem and we'll be shipping 3/4 a game.

Lambert09 Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July 46 minutes ago, StriderHiryu said: Actually a good player, but IMO not a priority position. I agree with 3 at the back, but we kind of setup as 3 at the back last season as in possesion we were 3412. I strongly disagree with the not a priority position bit. If we didn’t add pace to that backline then we may as well have left the efl badges on the new shirt One thing i learnt from our great escape season is that the most important bit of business a promoted club can do, is getting the right cb’s in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't ship 3/4 a game when Souttar played in the relegation season. I'm not a fan of Coady tbh but we can't have every manager waltz and demand a set of new toys when we don't have the budget or headroom for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 4 July Share Posted 4 July So we wouldn’t be doing this unless we were selling a CB… but who? Could be either Souts, Coady or Faes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he's black does not mean he has pace. He seems to be around the same as Faes, not slow but not fast either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
