Creative Midfielder or Striker

[GuangzhouBlade]

Having spent 18 million on Ramsdale I hope that means there is similar sort of money available again to boost our attacking options. It's clear we don't create too many chances in games, even more so when Didsy isn't playing and at his age its ridiculous to expect him to play 90 mins all season.

It's unlikely we are going to sign two more big money players so do we think a creative midfielder/number 10 to play the "Duffy" type role or an out an out pace striker is the best bet?

In games where we took the lead our brilliant defence usually meant we could see games out but when we were chasing game especially towards the end of the season we at times looked devoid of ideas.

For me I think a creative and athletic midfielder is the road to go down. In McBurnie and Moose we have players that can finish when given good chances. I just feel we expect far too much of Didsy to both be a creative spark whilst at the same time play up front, so would be good to see options come in to relive some of the pressure on Didsy to create. If you had asked me a few years ago who to sign it would have been Knockeart (take from that what you will) so does anyone have any ideas who the next James Maddison or Harvey Barnes is ?

 

[AdamSufc1997]

Think we need both tbh

 

[O Fletch]

Id rather we stay away from the current trend of what an attacking midfielder is. Maddison, grealish, mount, that norwich mop. Their game is to pick the ball up run, then dive.... greasy divers

A sorry part of the modern game but sadly its what every team needs. Without that gamesmanship and cheating teams leave themselves open to be taken advantage of.

 

[Shanks]

Canos from Brentford??

 

[HeySethUTB]

Ibrahima Sissoko, 22, Strasbourg. French, black, pacey and a big fucker. Dream signing. May suit our system as he plays box to box, more than enough talent to play in behind a front two. Will know moose from french National under 20s etc. Newcastle were sniffing at one point.

I trust that is not a racial slur on the size of his genitals?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Buendia, if we can afford him, would elevate us.
I'm pretty sure Behrahma would too.

Just don't think we have the resources to go up against 2, 3 other Prem sides and come out on top for those sorts of players.

Strikers too. You're not getting one for less than £25m that can come in and deliver what we need. They're a rare commodity & everyone's shopping in the same market. I think we'll have to go abroad for this area.

 

[Brian Deane]

I don't think the fee is the issue as we've now spent on more than one large fee ( over 10m) since promotion.
Whether its the wage limit or perhaps the way the yearly ( Season) wage is constructed. minimum wage and large bonus depending on where we finish

An attacking midfielder in the mould of James Maddison is the exact type of player that we are crying out for.

 

[adebo]

We need an excellent chance creator and one extra forward I'm greedy but I would have Buendia look at his chance creation last season in a Norwich team that did nothing. I would also like Josh King, pace to run in behind knows moose and sander so would be great for us, but we're looking at around 40m for the pair. It does solve the lunny right hand side issue as a bonus. No one would surely argue Buendia behind Lunny and I'm a massive lunny fan!

Canos from Brentford??

Always liked Canos. If he is over his injury and Business Plan LTD don't want silly money he would be worth a punt.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Dembele Canos,gerrim in.

Canos ticks a load of boxes for me. Wanted him 12 months ago !!

... if only. Neymar jr. Proper Brazil player, frog league is like Scottish. Wasting his time there.
Bring the best out of our players.
Neymar and the Moose. Has a ring to it.
If only.

 

[Blade56]

Last season investments Berge, McBernnie, Moose and Hendo = 9th

Say no more

That's from 2018 he's on over 100 grand a week now

I

Granted its a weird site, terms it salary 2020 but claims he signed the contract in 2018. So a loan deal of £60k pw with a commitment to buy if we stay up and they dont go up might be a goer.
