If it does, we are properly going for it. I'll be shocked if we get him this window, but the club did pull Isak seemingly out of nowhere in the summer. Not sure what our FFP position looks like right now but it's not entirely inconceivable the club decides to spring another surprise or two given our league position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2124 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Apart from Ashby I have a feeling we'll get somebody in on loan or loan to buy. Probably not Ziyech given what Chelsea are supposed to have said about not strengthening rivals, but maybe someone from a foreign league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeAdmirer 923 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 absolute waste of money, he will do nothing about us drawing too many games., not needed at all right now. All he does is run all day, why not just get Mo Farah on a free and add this to the Maddison chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston 41 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I trust Dan Ashworth. Look at the magic he pulled at Brighton with Cucurella, Trossard, Caicedo, Bissouma etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, given that the team's current issue is a high number of draws and that we have the opportunity to make a significant progress ahead of schedule in terms of where we want to be in the future, would this be a wise investment? z We could look for a different attacking midfielder not named Maddison ...

Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 In a more organised side and getting the ball in more dangerous positions, rather than having to carry from deep, he’ll come good, I think 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen he has the energy, pace and work rate that suits Howe’s system. £40m sounds like a lot but we’re signing a highly rated young Englishman with his best years ahead of him and that’s the going rate. Arsenal paid £12m for a 16 year old Walcott and that was 20 years ago. Gordon’s goals and assist numbers aren’t special but he’s 21. This recruitment team have got everything right so far, we have to trust them. Remember when we weren’t sure if pope would start ahead of dubravka. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I think he'll be good for us. He'll fit the pressing style well, he's high intensity too. The guy has been a detestable twat every time we've played them but I imagine a few of our current players are viewed in a similar way. This deal doesn't shake my faith tbh, I think once Howe is done with him he'll be a better version of an already decent player. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
