Tomaszk Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 6 minutes ago, GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS said: I like him, but he’s not physical enough to play through the middle, which he was clearly bought to do. It would be great to have him as an option across the front/wide positions but we’re stacked there now, especially with Philogenes return and Rogers exploding on to the scene (neither of which would have been expected). Pragmatism is needed. Sell him on for a decent profit and invest in a more imposing 9/10 hybrid like say Felix. Very clearly the correct move. Underperformance has meant this is the right move. Nothing else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) 1 hour ago, The_Steve said: Not a replacement though is he? By that logic he’s here to replace Leon too. Moussa has played a variety of positions. Jaden will do the same. We need more bodies in the squad as we cannot have the same core cohort of 5/6 names playing 40-50 games each. Football is so much now a squad game. Even from the bench he will get a lot of chances. Bailey, Dobbin, Philogene, Iling Jr., Ramsay, Rogers, Buendia. And there's the possibility we will go with 5-3-2 or a midfield diamond. Plenty of options in the wide positions. A new right back would be more of a priority. Edited July 16 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMcGrath_5 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Just now, rbcuk said: 75million+ we should be asking for I'd suggest it'll need to be at least £50m initially--add ons taking it to £55-60m to accept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Herman22 Posted July 16 Popular Post Share Posted July 16 Always makes me sad seeing players in their prime going to Saudi. I get the Ronaldos and the Manes but this guy is 25 years old. What a waste of a really short career. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know one knows and Add ons Are rarely discussed reported on in the media. the rare nugget we got about any of our players is CL qualification triggered a Torres add on.

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 He'll have a couple of years out there and then sign for a club in the Bundesliga: Nice or Hannover or somewhere. One thing we've learned under the new regime is that players will leave for the right price and we can move on stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
