It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Dobsy]

Regarding Ake a left footed centre back home grown, a team desperate for a centre back is be telling Chelsea if they come calling it 75m

Personally agree but I have read that they want to build a rep of being easy to deal with for the players.

So maybe £74m ;-)

Aké would surely swap being 4th choice here with starting for Chelsea?

I think that's the carrot dangled at this stage, mate.

Former player, club trained, affordable package...

Nathan might be entitled to at least think.

I appreciate what you are saying, but I have always maintained Sterling's pace is something of a myth.

In the first two yards, if he stands you up, then it's bye bye...

His advantage is mainly down to his clever runs without the ball.

However, if you are talking pace on the run over a number of yards, he can be caught by a few.

I'd imagine Haaland's true pace, certainly against any high line daft enough to try, will also create space for the lads on the outside.

Exactly this …

Amount of times he went clear through on goal only to be caught by the Cb , he is not rapid.

If we lose Gabby and Sterling, we are a player light IMHO

Palmer, mahrez and Grealish are similar players and now the only real options out wide.
If its not Felix ( and I wouldn't be too bothered about it not being him).....then who?

Alvarez is a complete unknown as far as the prem league goes and he seems more of a central attacker who drops deep.

Maybe we rely more on our full backs esp if we get Cucurella as him Cancello are good from wide positions and walker although not great is certainly working on that part of his game.

The way Zin played against Villa, he would be the best left winger option we have!!

It’s the calves, hair combo that does it for me.

Not my thing but what ever floats your boat…..

Who'd have thought anyone could have bigger calves than Grealish?

It’s a none brainer for him really but we should be asking top whack fee if he is tempted

foden suffers from the same issue

I mean it worked out well for Romel……

That is why the club buys players of that profile, even for '4th choice'. At the right age to have value should a club turn their head.
