2025/26 Merlin Röhl

[atrottel]

He was struggling a bit with the defensive stuff on the right (as was O'Brien) so I wouldn't mark him down as a potential solution for the right back spot yet. Still, that pace attacking came from nowhere for most of us.

Agree, but to be fair, atm most people are struggling against Doku and O'Reilly

That bit of pace in the first half for Beto chance is the first time I can remember seeing that all season.

It's just a simple ball from O'Brien inside the full back he runs onto.

Imagine if we had any kind of pace down the sides.

Had no idea he was so fast. Hopefully gets his chance last few games

The kind of lad who will unironically hang out with Baines, i'm jealous of him

Hes cool as feck

Now I understand why Moyes wouldn't pick him: pace.

Moyes prefers the plodding-through-treacle style of McNeil

Can't remember who it was but someone called him Dwight Mctreacle last week which I thought suited him perfectly.

A lot of manlove in here for Potsdam's finest.

He's cast a spell on you...

From what I’ve seen of him I see him very much as a box to box midfielder.

One who can break the lines and add another body going forward. Equally as good in the tackle. Unsure of his positional play at present.

He has super mobility, and a turn of pace. Could be lethal arriving late in the box.

I know, it's only Merlin Rohl, but I like it.

I'll get my coat...

WHich will happen on Sunday:


1: Moyes only played him cos of inuries and realised, after 9 months, that he was good and Rohl starts
2: Moyes only played him cos of injuries, he played well but its tough, moyes stick with his favourites.......

We will see on Sunday (if payers are fit, Rohl is dead again imo)

New RB BB.

Noticeable that we haven't had a peep out of @Zatara since Monday about Merlin.

What was he saying every other post ? That it was a ridiculous signing and that we should sell him this summer?

Could it be that I've been distracted with other matters?

If you remember, my two main issues with this signing are:

1: Injury prone
2: Doesnt look very good

Both are still issues with Rohl getting a lot of plaudits for his pace, physicality but I cant even tell what he is. Can you?

Which is bizarre because he's exactly the type of player he'd slap his baloney over.

How so?

Could be a Coleman-esque run at RM before moving into a RB role.

If he's going to be here long term then it would be handy if he can play 2 or 3 positions so we only need to sign 1 RB in the summer.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

How so?

He's young, handsome and continental.

That's you're type.
