Vranny Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Not trying to rock the boat too much, but just to give some insight: He was hyped up as a quality youngster prior to his move to the Bundesliga, but the wheels seem to have fallen off a bit since then. From what I've heard it's likely due to having been forced into a deeper midfield role and not really cutting it defensively, having been primarily an attacking mid at Basel. Would still be a quality young signing if we could snatch him, but I'm not sure where he'd fit in our current midfield with the emergence of Barkley. Might be a potential Pienaar replacement, seeing as how narrow he plays in the LM position these days though.

Vranny Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Would probably be better with Stones behind him. There's a big difference between being defensively solid for an attacking mid/winger in a 4-2-3-1 formation, than a centre mid in the 4-4-2 formation Monchengladbach usually roll out. He is naturally left footed however, so playing him on the right could be an interesting option anyway (would also get Mirallas back to his favoured left winger position.

It goes to show just how prevalent punning is on here that I took Mike's post as a pun rather than a serious post . Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 hmmm, i'd rather have an out an out winger than another attacking mid. i feel the 7.2m paid for and "sizable fee to persuade" make it out of our league. even if we get 15m for baines well need a LB, winger, and CB. I don't think blowing the kitty on Barkley 2.0 is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
