PaddockLad 16505 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 All our players bar Isak could be upgraded . He looks fuckin unhappy all the time. Difficult to know what’s going on there. We had to wait for an hour again for Bruno to have any influence on the game too. When the ball was at the feet of Burn but more specifically Kraft no one in midfield was dropping deep to show for the ball. Thats where we miss Fab and that’s why he’s going to be very difficult to replace 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That purple patch of Miggys was fucking bonkers, I'm not sure I've ever seen a player go so high above his average level, it was like he couldn't miss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2311 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Miggy is a bit like Kluivert, Patrick not his son at Bournemouth, in that as soon as he has time to think before shooting or passing he's fucked. He can only really do things on instinct, and that way of playing usually results in a player who can go through purple patches, but doesn't have enough base level skill to get anywhere close to those purple patches when not in one. Kluivert of course was a far better player than Almiron even when he wasn't in a purple patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6816 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Howay then, what we thinking? We get Guehi over the line? We get an alternative CB in instead? We get a CB and a RW? Or all goes quiet and fuck all happens like the bad old days!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42580 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I think we'll get Guehi and possibly someone on loan. Howe keeps saying he needs to be respectful of the players we have, which makes me wonder whether the loan thing just won't happen - it doesn't look great for the permanent squad if you bring some temp in to play ahead of them. It would have to be an obligation to buy thing, and then it's harder cos you're into discussions on fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 2561 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I'd be surprised if we do any more business in this window. If anything we're more likely to sell someone than get someone in. However, if I'm correct I think we'll be more active in the January window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42580 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 ❌ Signing players is like buying a house ❌ Miggy is like Kluivert 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 19293 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 IMO if we dont get a CB in it's gonna be a v expensive summer as technically we need two then. Unless Howe renews Lascelles contract because he's good at selecting songs on the wireless to pump the lads up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a contradiction to say that both players largely rely on instinct, but one is a better player than the other. I wasn't making a direct comparison obviously, which is why I said he was a bit like Kluivert in terms of being an instinctual player.
