Weird analysis, you need players who can use the ball very well if you've got less of it. In any case I am not sure what you're saying is necessarily true, possession football has gone out of fashion.I don’t think he would suit a club looking to just survive in the division…he needs to be in teams that will see much more of the ball.
I think more of a concern is he is a cracking Championship player who might make it in the PL, but would cost a lot. We already have a lot of good Championship players-what we need is PL experience. That or high potential players from abroad who come with a much lower price tag.Weird analysis, you need players who can use the ball very well if you've got less of it.

Not weird, I’ve said before I would prioritise physicality over technical attributes.Weird analysis, you need players who can use the ball very well if you've got less of it. In any case I am not sure what you're saying is necessarily true, possession football has gone out of fashion.
I'm not sure on this, we can't afford luxury type of players but technical footballers with great work rate and energy should be high on our list.Not weird, I’ve said before I would prioritise physicality over technical attributes.
Yes it probably is.Is it just me who doesn't think he's that good?
We will need both.Not weird, I’ve said before I would prioritise physicality over technical attributes.
I agree, but in the centre of midfield ie the most physically demanding part of the pitch where you’re fighting for possession, I’d prioritise an athlete rather than a technician.We will need both.

It was a good article. Like anything its a balancing act i suppose isn't it.See the article I posted about Spurs for why that might not be the smartest move. Athletes are good at athletics and we are playing football. Giving the ball away every five seconds won’t do us any favours trying to stay up.
Where is the article sorry?See the article I posted about Spurs for why that might not be the smartest move. Athletes are good at athletics and we are playing football. Giving the ball away every five seconds won’t do us any favours trying to stay up.
Spurs can't keep the ball despite spending about a billion pounds, basicallyWhere is the article sorry?
No I somewhat agree, constantly hear about how good he is but every time we’ve played them we’ve won the midfield battle.Is it just me who doesn't think he's that good?

Stated that they miss Maddison didn't it. Bring him home, Doug! Get that treatment table ready.In the other transfer thread I think. Hang on. Essence was they’ve scouted on physical attributes and brought in a load of players who can’t pass.

I've given up trying to guess what this club will do. Maybe theres more money than we think.We definitely need to upgrade the physical attributes but we also need players with a good first touch and the ability to find their man. I suspect they won’t be the same players due to our budget so on a basic level an Onyeka and Hackney midfield might be the right balance.
I fully expect that Douglas will at least entertain selling some of his stake in the club for external investment. He has the resources to support us in the Championship for a certain amount of time, but the running costs in the Prem are another animal.I've given up trying to guess what this club will do.

Yeah. I’ve thought this for a little while.I've given up trying to guess what this club will do. Maybe theres more money than we think.
Agreed.I fully expect that Douglas will at least entertain selling some of his stake in the club for external investment. He has the resources to support us in the Championship for a certain amount of time, but the running costs in the Prem are another animal.
@Ipad Boro he any good mate?
See FTTNot weird, I’ve said before I would prioritise physicality over technical attributes.
No, but i think it's less that hes not very good, and more hes so overhyped. Hes a decent player, but the wanking off he gets everytime Boro are on Sky is way OTT! I also think the same for Jude Bellingham. Decent player that is WAAAAAAYYYYYYY overhyped!Is it just me who doesn't think he's that good?
