Transfer Rumour Gabriel (Lille)

[toffeejack]

Centre back is definitely a priority, obviously we've shored up a bit with ancelotti, but under him we've still let in 4 at Chelsea and 3 at arsenal and wolves. The options we have are not brilliant, we'll get midfielders in, but quite surprised people feel a centre back isn't a necessity.

For me CB and ST is the least of our worries, there are concerns there, but when you look at that midfield 4, it makes me weep.

Definitely, i do feel we need more of an attacking threat with one or two good players, but when Michael keane is playing so many games we aren't going to go too far. Mina and Holgate are fine, but i think we can see now, just two injuries there and we're looking at kids. It's the same with striker with only 3, suppose it'll be 4 if we can't offload tosun, but I've already resigned myself to knowing we're not going to be splashing £50m on a top striker.

I think Keane is much better than Mina, personally.

I love mina NEA, he's just ridiculously slow

Keane has looked better than Mina this season imo.
With him, Mina, Holgate and young Branthwaite I think we have enough to focus on the most pressing area which is clearly midfield. MF>RB>GK

Hi mate, we have a keeper that can’t save a shot, hope this helps x

In each of those games our midfield was non existent, that's why we conceded so many. Midfield has to be the priority.

Lille throwing every club out there to get a few extra quid.

If he has visited Finch Farm and deal is arranged but now Covid has moved the goal posts and February values aren't what they are, surely we are entitled to renegotiate with Lille.

Defending starts higher up the pitch...or at least it should. Chelsea for instance met no resistance until they got to the 18. Also we have this clown named Jordan Pickford who actually lets in almost as many as he keeps out.

Nah, bout the same. Keane's a better defender, Mina is better on the ball.

Pace at centre back would allow us to push on more we sit so deep currently.

right and also means by doing so it gives others the right to come in for him. Also gives Lille the right to hold out as long as possible to make the most they can.

 

[mikel_88]

Think signing him gives us more balance and could play 3 at the back easier with holgate gabriel either side

Hey guys,

Call me sauced.

Had word today we've booked a summer medical for Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães from Lille OSC.

For what it's worth, same source gave info on Gbamin last year.

Anyone got any idea if he's any good?

Brilliant until he signs and breaks his leg pre-season
