Do we?Aztec Hammer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:40 pm Good player but I’m struggling a bit with this one. We need a pure left back, with a left foot who likes to overlap and play outside-in.
That isn’t really neither his position nor his style of play.
Genuine question... but if that tactic is so obvious surely it becomes easier to defend against?
You certainly wouldn't get that play with Maehle...he looks about as right footed as they come

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Could be a lot of happy people on here tomorrow if the Lingard update above is true
Not all done yet but Aguerd, Areola, Lingard and Maehle all done by early in July would be some start to the summer!

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
I mean, I'm not sure I see as Maehle as a pure 4 at the back at defender. So unless we go to that wing back system, which I personally despise, I think it's a stark positional difference issue.westlondonhammer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:51 pm Do we?

The right footed dude playing at LB isn't as much of a deal breaker, but even that is something I find a bit weird. We've proven we are open to it by using Johnno there, but with having an inverted winger in front, it just seems an unideal use of space if the overlapping full back isn't one to naturally want to wrap that left foot around the ball.
I'll be happy to see Maehle here, but it's strange because he doesn't play like the other full backs we are being linked to. He might not even be a full back!

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Conte is a brilliant manager. Unfortunately. Anyone not rating Richardason clearly knows f*** all about football. Excellent player.
In terms of the attack....we are miles apart.
I just cling into the hope that Dier remains at CB next season!

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
I don’t see it as an either/or situation with lingard and Danjuma
Moyes probably sees LW down the list of priorities behind LB, Broja and central midfielder and doesn’t know how much will be in the kitty after them

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Moyes is a frustrating transfer window manager. He always has been. But it doesn't really matter and it's worth the speed bumps because ultimately you're most likely getting a good football team for that following season.
He isn't infallible and there will be times when you wonder why he didn't sign a certain player who went on to do well. Or why Vlasic was the one etc. But ultimately, we'll get more good results than bad ones and have a nice team.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
If the rumoured fee for Danjuma is £40m and we would only be able to recoup £20m for Benrahma it’s not worth it.
He’s not two the player that Benny is.
Throw that money at a new striker instead.
That reminds me, what happened to Schick from Bayer Leverkusen anyway?

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
Well it was widely reported he wanted Eze, then it was reported he wanted King. I mean we sold Diangana to fund players elsewhere to go & sign a winger. Benrahma was a salthouse client as well weren’t he?. I think he was a Sullivan signing.

- Heavily linked the last 2 weeks;
- Been linked with us before (2020);
- Sent scouts to watch Denmark play;
- A league we’ve shopped from a lot in recent years;
- Fairly low fee and wages.
I also think his versatility will really appeal to Moyes.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
So nothing but conjecture?
He wanted Eze, we didn't have the money, then we sold Diangana and now had the money, unfortunately Eze was gone so we went for another option.
Benrahma huge upgrade on Diangana and about the same price.

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2022.
I think he metaphorically laughed at us an interview, and whored himself out to Bayern Munich instead. The cheeky b*stard.
