Romey 1878 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I know nothing about him tbh but he seems confident in himself and Brands and Silva obviously rate him highly because they went straight for him once the Gana deal was happening, so he's their first choice.

Shukes Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I’m trusting they are building a whole picture, rather than replacing the Gana hole, and it seems they are. Its always a worry when new players come into the premier league, but they seem to have identified their targets early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Exciting and refreshing that we signed a replacement for Gana 2 or 3 days after he left. Pickford - 25 Keane - 26 Zouma? - 24 Digne - 26 Gomes - 26 Gbamin - 23 Bernard - 26 Richy - 22 Kean - 19 9 of our starting 11 would be under 27, exciting to see a young fresh squad. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 On the videos his positioning looks sound but he might need time to adjust as he'll not get that much time on the ball here to pick a pass after winning the ball, few floaters in the clips that he'd need to play faster or make sure the player is free/there is time for the ball to get there. Much higher tempo in the prem, he might need a season. Wouldn't mind if we tried him at the back straight away as his positioning looks good enough and he'd get more time in the ball. Can see why his agent is bigging him up for there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukes Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Houston we have a problem. Just been reading up that his interception rate is even higher than Ganas, which means his positioning is even worse doesn’t it?

Barry done it by reading the game, Gana by running straight at the ball regardless of the situation. Exactly why you need to watch football and can't moneyball it.

Bill Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 More info on J-P, I've brought it back to the proper thread ..... "Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wanted to sign the 23-year-old defensive midfielder back in January 2018, and wanted to utilise him as a centre-back but Mainz were unwilling to let him go at that time because they were in a relegation fight. As a result, Liverpool looked elsewhere and ended up signing Fabinho instead. The 23-year-old has a versatility to his game that will make him a very useful member of the squad as he can play all across the backline and in defensive midfield. This will be especially useful considering the ongoing struggle to land Kurt Zouma" Dont shoot the messenger, I know he was bought as a cdm but just saying he can play as central defender.

Haven’t you been listening to the Ps for gods sake... you’ve learnt nothing. Making an interception means you were in the WRONG position! That’s what made Gana so shit.
