Adam Wharton

[foggy1974]

Does anyone know where we are with squad positions as that would put a huge spanner in signing either Wharton or Andersen in January

Let’s just ignore his ball over the top for the Pino chance that hit the bar, him making Gonzalez look like a girl when he robbed him and went onto hit the post and the numerous times he put Sarr in with perfectly weighted through balls in the first half. Instead, let’s rely on some coloured squares with little numbers in that some silly website has come up with.

FFS mate.

Yet they scored fuck all lol.

I never once said he had a bad game by the way but, he wasn't the best player on the pitch that's for sure.

Ground duels won 7/15 47%
Tackles won 4/6 67%
passes final 3rd 8/15 53%
Accurate pass compilation 34/48 71%
Accurate crosses 0/2 0%
Aerial duels 2/2 100%

Pretty shit stats for supposedly the best player on the pitch.

He did ok but like I said he's no upgrade on Nico Gonzalez.

Wharton was u21 on 1st January this year - therefore counts as U21 for both PL & CL so has no impact on either squad.

There is one place left in CL squad and two in PL squad that Anderson could take - unless the PL one is given to Phillips who was left out in September.

Anderson for me would be the priority but this guy would be a great consolation prize

Thought he was really impressive today and would massively improve our midfield

Wharton was impressive today. Laid on some great chances and clearly has a great range of passes. Have watched more of Anderson who strikes more of a box to box player than Wharton. Do think we will go for one of them but not till the summer. If Rodri off think it will be Wharton and we will play with Nico/ Wharton combo assuming we can get him. If Rodri stays think we go Anderson to replace Kovacic/ Bernardo.

Get both him and Anderson. Our midfield sorted for the next decade.

Too direct for how we play. Feels Anderson has more of an all-round game and would suit us better.

I do like Wharton as well though so wouldn't complain, I just feel he maybe would need to adapt his game a bit more than Anderson would.

Absolutely. Wharton strikes me as a player with enough technical ability to play for Pep and I think his coaching would help him develop further. Anderson, to me, is our next midfield colossus. He is big, strong and powerful but has the passing ability and vision to create from a deep-lying role. Of course, they are also both home-grown, another box ticked.

Can't see a world where we buy both and feel like Anderson is a lot more plug and play into our team right now. Until we know where we stand with Rodri, we won't be looking for more than one imo.
