Players who might improve us

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Mbuemo is shit hot in fpl. Is he just a stats player?

Yes but my point was intentionally non-specific to Salah but instead a larger point about having an established and consistent winger regularly producing for us as we are not signing Salah in any reality. That hypothetical winger could play on either side.

we can't bring in another winger without losing one first. We see foden, nunes and bernardo out wide but none of those are actual wingers. we currently have 4 of them, Bobb, doku and savinho are all under 23 and aren't going anywhere anytime soon so the only logical one would be grealish and even that's highly unlikely as we'd struggle to find a taker.

I know he's usually played there for us but I don't think Grealish's best position has ever been a winger. I expect it won't be Bobb's either.

Personally I would like to see Grealish tried a bit more centrally as I feel he could make a real contribution there. Our manager seems reluctant though.

played there for Villa most of the time as well, think this'll be his last year here.

Quite probably but would like to see him get a few games centrally as he did at Villa. I feel he (and we) would be better for it. It doesn't seem like Guardiola agrees though.

We still have a massive rebuild to do, so not suggesting we put all our eggs in one basket, but I’d throw 500k a week at Salah and see if he’s tempted.

No

Like he did against forest

He’s in the best form of his life, is never injured and is in fantastic shape. Brazilian players famously love to party and it shortens their careers. Plus Casemiro was always pretty slow.

I’d say there’s a less than 5% chance of getting Salah, but I’d take him here in a heartbeat. Easily got at least 3 years left.

We should not buy players for what they're done in the past. We should focus on what they can do in future.

That said, Salah doesn't have 3 years. He has 1 decent year left in him. This is that penultimate super year top players have. Yaya scored ,20 goals the year before sucking.

While i don’t think it happens, a top level performer who doku/savinho can be understudy’s too for a few years would be ideal…

Meh! They can watch his game on.video if they need to.

Ivd been trying to think of a 8/6 hybrid i like and have finally come across one I'm impressed with:

Ezekiel Palacios... I came across some City tuber doing an analysis of his play and im all in after watching lots of his videos. He is exactly the type of player my mind believes we need. An 8 who can play 6 in.a pinch.

I knew of him and have seen him for Argentina once or 2ixe and never thought much of him. He is far more impressive than i gave him credit for though.


Im all in now. Tijja i Reijnders and Ezekiel Palacios. 2 mids id be highly interested in acquiring.

Baleba, what a player

Baleba, what a player

Does seem really talented. Also why doesn't Brighton play Lamptey? Wonder if he could be a stop gap option for us
