His injuries have killed him I suspect. Ndidi is a proper destroyer, I also wouldn't play him ahead of Kamara however for me I like a true DCM and a Hybrid next to him in the double pivot. Kamara is special as he is so good at passing as a true DCM, it's very rare. Ndidi would be a Kamara replacement when injured, playing in lots more competitions or needing a rest.

paul514 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) Otavio is the only perfect player I can think of for wide midfield, bit old at 28 or 29 though Edit, he just turned 28 I just looked him up https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/otavio/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/231289 Edited April 13, 2023 by paul514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we're after Forward, Winger, CM, RB/RCB This Mr Winger Forward has a lot of credentials to his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 When people say winger...... are they on about the position McGinn and Ramsey are playing which I call wide midfield? Or are they on about the player who plays behind Watkins which tends to be Bailey/Buendia? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Stick in a sizable bid for Mitoma, and get Kamada in too. I was looking at other targets but I'm turning Japanese. I really think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, our defenders need to be as comfortable on the ball as our midfielders. They are expected to play under pressure and in tight spaces. I think this may be where our surprise transfer will be this summer, I have a feeling we will try and sell Konsa for a new player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but they gave Mings a new contract he is a much better passer than Konsa. Makes no sense to sell Carlos now and Chambers is being picked over Dendonker and is a good passer for a centre back…… kind of makes me think if there is any doubts over Carlos that they will enter the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
