Mina came from Barca and was 20-30m. I think I saw where we bid 23m or so and they wanted 27m. Still a lot but a bit more reasonable. He definitely has size and pace. Perhaps we want him for CB to compete with Mina and then Lemina for Gana’s position. If I’m wrong and he’s the replacement for Gana I’m going to be awfully nervous. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve no doubt they could do a lot with the money. Cautiously optimistic if he’s been brought in to play CB, white knuckling it if we are gonna use him as a midfielder.

Bailey Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Just watched a video on him and I think he looks a talented player. I get the feeling it might take him time to settle. He looks like a midfielder to me rather than a CB. I think he could be really good in the transitions as he is quick, has good close control and likes running with the ball whilst also being very capable in spraying passes to the wings or over the top. The curious thing in the video I watched was that there were very little shorter passes. There were no defence splitting balls or perfectly weighted ones. They were all aerial and 20 yards plus. Wpuld suggest to me either he isnt very good at it or he doesnt have the final ball quality. Defensively he looked sound enough from the small clips but you need to see the bigger pitcure for that. Based on what I just watched he looks a little like a cross between Gana and Schneiderlin. The deeper passing skills of the latter with the transitioning physical attributes of the former. If we do get him I just hope he makes better decisions when breaking forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 This is the Gana replacement. But it’s not going to fix our lack of creativity. Or could we have Gbamin sitting and push Gomes forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 All his best clips show him running with the ball and spraying it forward so I expect him and Gomes to play in a similar way and making decisions on when to break and when to sit.

Newty82 Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Never heard of him. So did the mandatory video search. I like how strong and athletic he looks. A lot of his tackles come from standing strong and nicking the ball away at just the right time. Seems to have a good run on him, and passing range. Only clips though, so.... If he does the job, then we've had a belter with selling Gana, at 30 year old, and replacing him for a guy who is 23 and slightly less cost.

Shukes Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I like the quality of player we’re going for this window, feels like we’re stepping up a bit.... building rather than patching up. StevO, Wiggytop and DavisJD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 His agent thinks he'll become a top centre half, he played in defence before they moved him forward. Two for the price of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
