Think one thing we are lacking at the moment is a cm that has a bit of pace to drive forward with the ball at pace sometimes. Romeau and ward prowse are both pretty static (jwp) doesn’t have the pace to do it. shame that Ralph didn’t fancy lemina as he did have this in his locker.. maybe davies could bring this actually? a couple of our best openings came from Armstrong being able to burst through like this but a lot of the time he is stuck out wide and our attack becomes a bit flat and static

Agree some being way too harsh on armstrong, he looked the only one really capable of opening up the game.. couple of nice bursts through the middle near the end which could have set us up.. yes he made the wrong choices but no one else was close to really making things happen..

Still think it’s a poor decision to let boufal go, he’s surely better then djenepo Tella etc. At least has ability to beat players and cause problems.. we are really lacking that atm

Wouldn’t get carried away. The fact that he said ONE or two minimum means there’s a possibility it could only be one..

Not sure what to make of da grossa, but at least he sounds like he has more of a plan then gao does who seems to be completely hands off. personally I would love another Cortese type but with the backing to match his vision and ambitions. It’s a real shame we didn’t get to see how far nc could have taken us if Marcus didn’t die

Watching the clip I do agree with the analysis that his first touch seems very good, seems to get the ball under control super fast or with a turn without really slowing him down, seems powerful too although maybe looks a bit of a diver always seems to be drawing fouls. End product looks looks a bit meh or at least the video isn’t showing much end product. overall he looks ok but not as exciting as watching a boufal or djenepo YouTube clip ,still wish we would stick with boufal and try and get the best out of his obvious talents but seems he’s definitely off by the look of it

He did only have 8 starts last season. its not easy to rack up goals when your getting 10 minutes off the bench occasionally.. Armstrong was also being written off before finally getting a run in the side. but I thought he was playing well last season was beating players and getting in great positions a lot where he cut the ball back a few times we missed sitters from this which should of been assists for him but he did his part. i just think if he had the type of opportunity’s Redmond has had who is very hit and miss. we could be looking at a whole different scenario

Really hope this is true. Boufal has bags of talent and would be easily as productive as Redmond if giving the same amount of minutes. Absolute joke to let his value get to 4 million. I’d actually extend his deal and try get the best out of him as there is so much ability to work with. anyway we have quite good depth and options with Redmond Armstrong boufal and djenepo.. hope we keep him

Agree we need a cm but tbh If you say we got 4 strikers when you count obafemi who is basically promoted youth player still could also count Smallbone etc in cms. i still think our strike force is a bit worrying bar ings who is obviously awesome. Adams is a bit of a unknown still and oba and long just doesn’t scream goals.. I’d still like another one in but not holding my breath

Think lemina gets a bit too much unfair bashing on here of late. case of player not playing suddenly becoming useless by the looks of it in most posters eyes.. before ralph exiled him (and lemina kind of burned his bridges) many posters on here regarded him as our best player and certainly best midfielder. yes he had off games but was pretty decent and not really any worse then hoj in my opinion. fulham may have got themselves a absolute steal

Dunno about the stats but this video suggests he’s quite the pressing tackling beast https://youtu.be/1gCAQMbnuY0

I really don’t see that we would be interested in ntcham If McKennie was the top target.. ntcham just seems like a technical midfielder who is a bit lazy and only turns it on when he feels like it. Doesn’t sound like the pressing beast we would be interested in. i think it’s more likely we turn our attention to ronaldo Vieira or even Mangala tbh

Still thinking maybe we are rushing these deals through to try and get McKennie done. Seems fishy to me they happen so fast on the day juve are linked to him

Bit of a shame re lemina he seems to have become useless in many posters eyes since Ralph exiled him. But you only have to look back at peoples opinions before that and he was regarded as one of our best players, would have liked to see if we could have gotten him going with a good chance under rh. anyway since we are not gonna use him hopefully this along with reed leaving frees up the wages to get our hoj replacement in quickly. is this a coincidence that this has happened so fast on the day Weston is linked with juve? As we turned down lemina loan to galatasary ?

Lemina and reed to Fulham. lemina Loan with view to perm

Watching Weston’s YouTube again, one thing I like is he seems pretty rapid and has a nice burst of pace, also looks tenacious could compliment jwp quite nicely since he seems so quick. Could he be our Kante ?

Sounds like Fulham have a 8m option on reed so I’m not even sure if it’s in our hands to keep him? i don’t really have much idea on who the central mf replacement will be. Sounds like a lot of Celtic fans talk about ntcham like we did lemina.. superb on his day but his days are rare

He just looks quality imo..whilst the trio of long obafemi and adams don’t.. long we know what we are getting he works hard and is a good foil for ings but poor finisher.. adams and oba both have struggled to impact games. And neither look brilliant tbh.

Really hope this Nunez link is true this is probably dream signing of the window for me and yes I do think we need a striker- adams long and obafemi is totally unproven if was a injury or anything to ings and we need goals from somewhere. nunez looks superb on the YouTube clips fantastic finisher and reminds me a bit of a prime fernando Torres.. please be true :)

His big cheesy grin after usually messing things up annoys me a bit tbh. im still not a fan tbh I’d take boufal or djenepo in the team over him.. for a attacking wide player I don’t think he’s great at beating players,, he holds the ball to long doesn’t know when to pass, and usually makes wrong decisions, shooting isn’t great. He does look good at times when carrying the ball in open spaces in transition, but overall I think we need better creative attacking players then him

Obafemi is basically still youth.probably not gonna hurt us wages wise. And is ok to have around to see if he develops well. long is actually useful works hard causes problems but is proven in his non scoring the fact that adams was behind both of the former for large parts of the season doesn’t exactly inspire huge confidence.Couple of goals towards the end but would not want to rely on him if ings was out. on paper it just looks very weak in depth

We need another striker to partner ings or at least compete with the others. Ok adams finished the season on a good note but lets be honest if anything happened to ings we are in complete unproven territory and potentially in trouble.. billy sharp is probably as dangerous as our other three options on what they have done so far . definitely would feel a lot happier if we upgrade this position
