MC11 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I agree. For me an effective number 10 has much different attributes to a winger. I want my wingers to be quick and direct where as I want a number 10 to be a bit more intelligent, good movement, spatial awareness, vision and technically good. This is what I would be looking for in a good number 10. Therefore, in my opinion, playing a winger there I.e Mirallas, Mertens, Deulofeu is fine for the odd game (away from home on the counter attack) but it's not the answer to our problem as they haven't got the attributes I mentioned to excel in the position. We want someone to link up with Lukaku threading passes through to him that he can run on to. I'm sure there's a player out there for us but none the wiser as to who that is! It's definitely a silva/fabregas type player. However they're out of our bracket. We do manage to punch above our weight in terms of ability from time to time but it's usually players who are deemed just not good enough for the elite. I can imagine we'll get an exciting little playmaker in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiediow Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 This is definitely not the type of player we need. I expect to see someone like Kagawa or Isco to fill that role but unlikely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makis Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Interesting thing about him: according to WhoScored he played 14 times as CAM and 11 times as ML and at least according to stats he was better in the latter position. So maybe he could be the LM who can play CAM we need? He also scored 6 goals from the wide position against just three centrally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 He could be ACM he could be a box to box type in the 2 cm, he could be left mid. The man is quality just sign him already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Rumour is picking up again (I know its a week old but no-one posted it then.)

Matt Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I've clearly missed something here, because he's never worth £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I've clearly missed something here, because he's never worth £25 Crazy prices everywhere. He's a championship player now though 25 is too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Crazy prices everywhere. He's a championship player now though 25 is too much. not quite where he belongs, but he'd do well at a Palace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddock Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 not quite where he belongs, but he'd do well at a Palace I like him Matt I'd defo have him. Not for 25 mil though. 12 maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Nobody who's likely in for him will pay that, dangle £15m final offer (he's worth it) in front of Ashley and he'll bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I like him Matt I'd defo have him. Not for 25 mil though. 12 maybe? he was bought for 15m. Newcastle is just trying to negotiate. i think they'll settle for 18m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I've clearly missed something here, because he's never worth £25 Surly a club what have been relegated can't expect him to want to stay, which is what will happen if they slap that price on him. I'd be very unhappy as him or his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Stupid if he doesn't have a relegation clause in his contract though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
