Transfer Rumour Youssef En-Nesyri

[Papa Shango]

Not many, there was an interesting chart up the other day (I will try find it again) the contrast in how good we are at the back to how bad we are going forward, its literally complete opposite ends of the spectrum.

I notice it when watching highlights of other players linked with us, other teams get players in and around their strikers. Watched an En Nesyri one before and on most of the highlights there was 5/6 players in and around the box. We are lucky if we have 1 half the time. It's a massive problem for us.

Is he on yet?
(AFCON Semi)

He will be brought on to miss a penalty in the shoot out.

Once Everton has potentially touched you...

 

[Bungle]

He'll be our best loan striker since Enner Valencia

One of my favourite moments was him faking injury to get stretchered off and try and evade police who were after him for not paying child support.

Absolute beast in the air based on this, better start putting some crosses in if we sign him.

Full backs needed.

Yup, I totally get why some people are wetting the bed over it and just like the idea of having someone that isn't Beto or Barry but we have wider issues than that imo. Like you say the way we attack is an issue and the support is just not there most of the time. We often see a player go forward and they have to stop or pass the ball backwards because they have no support up with them which is just poor team shape which really is just basic stuff tbh. Sort that stuff, sort out the creativity issues before signing more players imo.

So did Barry and Sandro...

Barry - 35 games - 3.18
Sandro - 47 games - 2.94
En-Nesyri - 230 games - 3.33

En-Nesyri has been consistent over a much longer period. Barry and Sandro both had one good season.

Napoli

 

[Melcher]

It's a fair point. But are they feeding off scraps? They've missed quite a few chances.

I'd have to disagree, they are pretty rubbish but do they really miss loads of sitters? I don't think so, they rarely get a big chance.

I think the full back positions are a far bigger issue and are the root cause of our complete lack of creativity.

Looking good.

Wonder what his peno’s are like.
I think we might find out soon.

What so I'm not allowed an opinion because you don't agree?

i didn’t say that but we’re trying to be proactive and people are saying
we don’t need them
