2024/25 Jesper Lindstrom

Why you asking me that? I’d imagine because of our position and was more likely to get game time elsewhere and doing well at Derby but hopefully we aren’t a mess next season and the likes of him can see game time here

That lad can play anywhere.....

I’d imagine a lack of trust in a just turned 18yo at the time he went out on loan and we wasn’t in a great position

signed a 3-year deal though .....

100% I'd rather have Lindstrom rw, Harrison lw and Alcaraz central. The balance is far better. Moyes got it wrong today, there was no need at all to put square pegs into round holes but he's another one fixated with the fantasy that Doucoure is so vital he must be in the side.

This is basically a lower stakes version of a couple years back's "Mina is fit and should obviously be picked ahead of Calamity Keane" in terms of how obvious a move it is that for some reason the gaffer resists it as it gets progressively worse.

We looked better going forward when he came on. Also West Ham were consistently getting in down our right before he came on

Because in 3 years he'll be a more rounded footballer Joey.

we looked a lot worse and less cohesive with him out of the side

harrison was poor all round and didnt cover as well on the right as jesper does

without the width we looked so much more congested and alcaraz and doucoure kept taking up the same positions

feel like it wouldve been a different game if we went with the usual set up but with charly in for doucoure

 

[windymiller]

Limited as he is, with the options we currently have available, we're a better team with him in the side currently.

 

[micknick]

I think he’s a player that would improve considerably with a second season

Wouldn't disagree. Though you'd hope that's the case for anyone coming to the Prem in a struggling team.

Would you pay the fee to sign him though?

I’d say your third paragraph is the key. I’m not sure we were worse because he wasn’t playing as such, we were worse because we had no width. I think people were a bit harsh on Harrison on Saturday personally, he did some rubbish stuff like but he did produce a few things - he was probably our best outlet for much of the game.

Was hoping to see an improvement on his returns second half of the season and whilst his form is better it's still only 1 assist. 20mil looks a bit much currently doesn't it?

It's a shame because I think he's alright but £20m is too much, even in this insane market. Do you reckon they'd do another loan?

That's what I'd be hoping for. I know we need more quality but Rome wasn't built in a day and we have a lot of players off contract.

I suppose it depends on the size of the fee. He’s shown flashes and just have a feeling he has something about him that could come to fruition when up to speed with the league.
