Pellistri

With Pellistri and McAtee and Hamer we would have a chance.

And if we signed Doyle Permanently and Archer on loan we would have a real chance of staying up I reckon.





My team would be



Wes


Egan. Ahmedhodzic

Baldock. Laroucci

Souza Doyle


Pellistri. Hamer McAtee

Archer

4-2-3-1

Hypothetically speaking if we get everyone else we are linked with.
 

Genuinely baffled by some of the doubts on here and twitter. He's clearly ahead of mcatee in development, started 2 of 3 games in the world cup at the side of Luis Suarez and Darwin Nunez ffs, this isn't some average Premier league 2 player here. If we have even a sniff of him we shouldn't hesistate.
Also the "we don't play wingers" argument shows how smooth brained some people are, the days of top players only being able to be a chalk on boots winger are gone
 
Can't see this happening, he's come off the bench in both of Man Poos games so far thus season and with League Cup, FA Cup and Europa squad rotation why would they let him go?
 
Would an excellent loan from what little I know about him/Man Utd fans’ opinions.

Have we had an Uruguayan play for us before? I can’t think of one.

I hope we are in for both. This lad looks more like the Ndiaye replacement and in any case we need more than one player who can carry the ball and beat a man.

Him and McAtee would add so much.

Watching the clips I was thinking the same.
Can see alot of similarities between N'Diaye and Pellistri.
Truth be told I'd still think Iliman is the better but we ain't signing anyone as good for that role.

I think we would deploy him just behind strikers though mostly.

Still want to see another striker for me though. Origi could make sense. Archer does too. And the Troyes lad/az Alkmaar lad too. (Don't believe any rumours of us interested there though).

I'm ok with loans but rather we only use a few or loans with realistic chance of buying at end of we wish to do so.

I would take Pellistri over Mcatee if we had to choose one.

Mcatee is still fairly lightweight and had the habit of going missing for long stretches of games.

Only seen Pellistri on a couple of occasions but although his goal and assist per game is low, he is the type of player who wants to get on the ball as much as possible and make things happen.

McAtee got 9 goals and 6 assists for us in the second half of last season.
From what I can see, Pellistri went to Alaves on loan made 30+ apps and got 0 goals and 0 assists.

I'm not ruling out that Pellistri could be very good but it's hard to see why anyone would favour him over McAtee who is also fairly local, knows all of the lads and has great end product.

As for the critique of McAtee, I personally don't think his trength and conditioning was ever really an issue once he adjusted to men's football. He's surprisingly solid.

The other criticism, re: McAtee drifting out of games, is a fair one. My only concern would be 'how will McAtee do in a side that doesn't see much of the ball?'
That's why my preference was towards a Cole Palmer or Chukwuemeka type when we were initially linked.
 
He does look decent, not sure he is an improvement on Mcatee or Ndiaye who to my trained youtube eye seem to be more technical though. He has great energy and dynamism and looks to try and carry which is great but didnt see much in regards of composure and beating a man in tight spaces avoiding the press etc, both of which the old 2 could do regularly which helped us hold the ball further up the pitch.

Not writing him off just not convinced he’s going to be the complete package. He definitely has some qualities though and others who have seen him in the flesh may have seen those qualities in him.

As a side note I would love us to buy in this market instead of improving someone else's player. Quite a few bargains to be had in S America. This lad might cost us 4-5 mill in loan fees/wages which is comparable to how much buying would be in the part of the world.
 

What are people on about? The lad play’s international men’s football for a top 20 FIFA ranked nation, he’s played a seasons worth of La Liga top flight football, Oh and he’s only 21. He’s better than Mcatee and tested at a higher level than Ndiaye. Absolute no brainer coup.

Yep, no end product at all thus far in his career. The exact opposite of what we need. Ndiaye had 10+ goals and assists.

McAtee was incredibly valuable to us in the run in last season. So many vital goals. A player like that with Hamer as well would be tremendous.

"The exact opposite of what we need" 😂🤔
 
Manchester United fan in work reckons he's very good but says he is a typical winger. Not sure how he would plan on playing him.

Trouble with "assists" though, is that it's not you, who is responsible for the end product.
What if he made 50 chances and his teammates missed them all? Assists are a terrible statistic and are a very poor way to analyse a player's ability. Chances created would be a much better and more reflective way of judging ability.

Fair point, but his expected assists were 0.38 per understat. Xg was 0.93. In 1170 minutes.

Not good.

He played less than 700 minutes and was brought on as a sub in 15 of his 21 games.

Guess I'm old fashioned but always prefer my own eyes! Also, some players flourish at certain clubs in certain systems etc. Who knows? That's why its always interesting! UTB

Was a sub in 7 of his 12 games the season before. Averages 35 mins a game. Chill out

I'm very chilled. I'm just pointing out that the stats nothing in his career so far that suggests he can create or score. We need better than that. We have enough unknown quantities and punts as it is.
