MGW and NDiaye

[LewishamBlade]

Love both of them, they make us a much better team individually, but I think we play a lot better when there’s just one of them in the side. And yesterday was evidence of that.

While it should be a match made in heaven with their styles, in our shape they both try to do the same things, in the same pockets of space and get in each other’s way. Too many flicks and stuff too.

I think yesterday, Bogle excepted, is our best starting XI. NDiaye is great but he’s not MGW is he? If you’re choosing between the two it’s a no brainer just at the moment.

Morgan probably put in the performance of the season yesterday. He would’ve troubled elite European sides playing like that - nevermind Swansea.

Ndiaye is still raw but is quality. Hopefully we go up and are able to sign MGW but if not, Ndiaye can learn a lot from him and be his replacement.

I'd love to fit both of them alongside Berge and behind Sharp/Brewster (which is a ridiculous front 4 in the championship) but we won't be ditching the back 5 anytime soon.

One thing Ndiaye does better than anyone is track back and win the ball. His off the ball work, particularly considering his age and rawness, is outstanding.

Yes both have got that special something the X factor you may say. Would love to think we could sign MGW but I doubt it he makes such a difference. If we do not sign anyone but MGW I would happy.

Don't think we have a chance of signing MGW unless we go up (sad, but true..........ala Deano). &.............if anyone with any knowledge has been watching us this year season, our biggest worry is Illiman will be off to the highest bidder...........in true Blades style!

 

[SwissBlade]

The fact we’ve got both of them and Berge in the squad is very good news, it gives us options. Some games we’ll want both on instead of Berge but games like yesterday was ideal for Berge and gives Ndiaye a break. Before yesterday the last couple of games haven’t worked for Gibbs-white but he was unplayable yesterday as he’s getting back up to full fitness

Think it’s a horses of courses situation if we’re up against a side that’s set up for the draw with two deep banks of 4 that’s going to let us dominate the ball then I’d have them both on the pitch as the neat interplay between the two on the edge of the area is probably the thing most likely to unlock a stubborn side.

However if like yesterday we’re up against a team that’s come to play and that’s going to leave us space to play in then having one of them floating around does maximise that space rather than getting in each other’s way.

 

[Leobolly]

So what happened against Hull then Yogi? ............they sat back (understatement!), and both played??. If we had taken our chances, maybe not an issue OMB, JR, IND..........two sitters there at least.
As a side note - did Keith Edwards ever miss any sitters? - I say to my lad.........Edwards would have buried that (age thing!), and he says....DAD..........STFU!!!!!

Thats the way I see it to ,wish we were wrong .We will probable end up losing both .Would be great if we could afford MGW he is sheer class ,what a difference he makes. We look a different side when he is on his game. He makes the goal scoring problem we have had for the last 3 years disappear he opens the opposition sides defence wide open for not just himself but others to capitalise on,

MGW - the modern day Mark Duffy.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Would love to think we could sign MGW

catch Bournemouth, get up in 2nd place and make an offer - simples

UTB

 

[Camden Blade]

Bournemouth are catchable!

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Call it wishful thinking, but I think MGW gets what it means to be a Blade. He will want to stay.

 

[sufcboy95]

Even if we go up we won’t sign MGW. Not a prayer Wolves will let him go. Add to that he’s a boyhood wolves fan and it’s just a non starter!

Best possible outcome is we go up and they let us have him on loan again

I think he enjoys playing here but so did Henderson loved it in fact but that affection only went so far as coming back for one more year on loan when it was good for his career.

How much for MGW? 25-30 million? Plus the wages associated with that kind of fee that would be pretty much our whole budget for the summer and Wolves may flatly not be open to doing a deal.

I love watching MGW play for us but even if we went up I think it’s a proposition of long odds him coming here permanently maybe another year on loan.

No doubt Ndiaye technical ability is up there at the top of the entire squad.

But his tactical awareness is on the flip side probably one of the lowest.

Sometimes looks like a schoolkid chasing after any player who has the ball expelling unnecessary energy. (You know those kiddie games where all 22 players run to wherever the ball is without holding their position)

He's still young and relatively unexperienced (and to some extent desperate to show what he can do) so sure he will learn

But right now I would pick MGW and Berge behind Sharp with Ndiaye as an impact sub.
