Good signing

Scored 24 goals in Southampton’s promotion season. Could work if we decide to stop crossing so much and pumping so many long balls.

Since when were we a long ball team?

In general, our deliveries from wide areas need to be so much better. Quite often the ball is floated across and the defenders or keeper can deal with it quite easily. We need more variety, whipped in balls, hard and low crosses etc. Height isn't needed for those kinds of balls in, it's about the movement and timing of runs.

I know we make a lot of crosses but we also score a lot from them, including both goals in the play off semis and the most headed goals in Europe. I think the quality of the crossing is pretty good and it's backed up by stats, e.g. second most big chances created in the Championship.

Hes a holding midfielder lol

Armstrong good player but wouldn’t suit our lone striker role at all

He used to play lone striker for us. He usually plays as a lone striker doesn’t he? Also played RW for Southampton in the prem so provides cover or a starting position instead of Sakamoto.

Plus our wingers play high like Wright so he’d have the support like he did with Jacob Murphy etc

What about them

 

[skyblue025]

They are still in the Europa League so I doubt it.

Well Walker-Peters has played a lot of games in the Premier League, Milan hasn't. Perhaps they see it as a safer bet?. Although Tottenham are rumoured to be interested in Walker-Peters too. We will have to wait and see.

Out of contract as well. Bit of a no brainer really.

Think they forfeit their place if they are relegated

They don't. It's a French FA sanction not a UEFA one.
