Osirus Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Sky now linking us to Gerson from Marseille if Dendoncker falls through. This can’t be the strategy surely? Just buy all the midfielder’s from the same team?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 24 minutes ago, Philosopher said: I'm not particularly a fan of dendonker, but his aggression, workrate, and bite in the tackle is something we lack. Him alongside either Kamara or Luiz would be complimentary. But the midfield would need a passer that's also a goalscorer. My preferred 3 would still be Kamara, Luiz, and Ramsey. However Dendonker and McGinn to come in would be decent. BBC are saying we are refusing to sell. Luiz. I bloody hope so as him and Kamara together has shown a bit of potential. Dendonker is a nasty, hard, bastard of a player, which we lack. Not disappointed by him at all. Underwhelmed for sure, not the class of player I was hoping for, but a solid combative option, which will help us. Hoping we revive the Sarr deal, Moura is too old and inconsistent. He literally turned 30 a couple of weeks ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I like Dendoncker. PL experience and international pedigree. He adds some solidity to our team and can also play CB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Dendonker ends up looking like a replacement. i saw a link to gallagher again today. i suspect if we can get him as a replacement then we'll let luiz go i'd be ok with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okonokos Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Dendoncker and Gallagher IN. Luiz OUT. Would be absolutely fine with me. But that's just for the midfield. I still think we need a CB and a winger too. Oh and a manager. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher isn't a technical passer like Luiz, more similar to McGinn and Ramsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_sun_never_sets Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Gallagher is similar to McGinn but with a better attitude and a much better work rate. I'd be happy if we were to replace the latter with the former. Him + Dedoncker would do wonders for our general mentality which is so poor currently.

useless Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I've never heard of Gerson so don't know anything about him, but transfermarkt has him down as an attacking midfielder, nine goals and seven assists last season, so if that's anything to go by I doubt he would be an alternative Dendoncker, perhaps more of an alternative to Gallagher if it's true that we want him.

See how he would like playing as an auxilliary right back like McGinn has been expected to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turvontour Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Question for everyone. Who was the last player we signed who was or is better than all our other players? This is the thing, we've stagnated. Likes of Newcastle, west ham, Palace overtaking us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
