@hibbo'sclass is our numbers guy, you don't realise the work he does until you drop him and then suddenly it all falls apart and you realise he was the foundations on which we built.

Been searching for an article that I read sometime ago. It compared different strikers and their playing styles and what made them the players they really are. Not the top ones. The second tier and third tier ones. And Bolasie was one of them. I will dig out that article if I can find it. But it went on to suggest that his loan at Villa wasnt successful because of the way they were setup. And it is more than likely that it is the reason why he wasnt able to score more at Palace and here. But you maybe right in the sense that if we are to compete in the league (and 2 cup competitions), we must be ruthless and not have any sentiments about any players.

Pickford; Stekelenburg; Virginia;
New RB; Coleman; Keane; Mina; Holgate; Zouma; Digne; Gibson/Robinson;
New CM; Gueye; Gomes; Davies;
New RM; Lookman; Onyekuru; Sigurdsson; Bernard; Richarlison;
New CF; Calvert-Lewin
There's three keepers and 20 outfield players going off what we've read. Lookman is questionable obviously. If everything goes to plan that will probably be our squad. (Richarlison can double up as a centre forward too)

Is it a stretch to say the player who's been crap is crap? Personally I think their are cheaper and higher potential players all over the place that would be better.

To be completely honest I really rated Fred at Shahktar (as I did a certain other little Brazillian) and I do perhaps think that making the 'jump' to United was probably a bit too soon for him in hindsight. Big fee and lots of expectation on a young player coming from a foreign league playing in an especially important position on the pitch. Still think he has potential personally - needs an arm around him and a better environment in general.
I'd welcome him at Everton, for what it's worth.

2 top slotters,(easier said than done) would see us push for top 6.

Echo have said 20 out and 6 in is the plan. People are then theorizing what the squad will look like after that. Hardly outlandish stuff to be fair.
Ye real fresh off the block.

If Morgan could sort his head out he’d be a decent backup in midfield. He’s come in having hardly played and hit the ground with solid performances.

Yeah? Hence people discussing it in case it's true. Nobody has gone out and put their house on it like.
Also since last summer the Echo have receiving information directly from the club again. It's hardly come from Goal.com

This fella seems to be in the fold these days.
Everybody else can probably be ignored from that paper.

With respect Zat, it's clear that indeed you haven't watched enough of him.
Your recommendation for us to sign him is based entirely on theory rather than practice.
- In theory he should be good signing because Utd bought him for fifty odd million a year a go
- In theory he should be good signing because he's played for Brazil
- In theory he should be good signing because he has played in the Champions League
- In theory he should be good signing because he has resale value
- In theory he should be good signing because he fits the mould of Brands looking to purchase fringe players from the teams above us
Theory is all well and good.
In practice, having watched a lot of Utd because they're always on Sky or BT, he isn't very good. Gary Neville actually did a decent little analysis of him last night:
- He skips into challenges
- He cheats positionally
- He doesn't read the game
- He isn't sharp enough with the ball
- He hasn't got legs in the recovery
You might like him, and good on you if you do. We all have players we want to be good and often the theory of them corroborates our view that they would be a good addition. But watching Fred as I would recommend you do would confirm that he isn't cut out for a team who isn't that much better than us on current standing.
That doesn't make him a bad player or mean he shouldn't have played in the CL.It just means on current evidence he isn't cut out for the PL.
