2020/21 Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[Vic Vinegar]

Allan and Gbamin are the pairing for me if everyone is fit. Both better footballers than Doucoure

He’s better than Doucoure based on two pre seasons games against bum teams?

Allan Doucoure Gbamin

If we keep Davies, Onyango and Gomes as backup and shift Delph and Gylfi (impossible task I know) our centre-midfield suddenly looks so much better than last season (for some reason). I think Gomes CAN be much better than the €9m we are rumoured to be looking to sell him for. He was absolutely boss on his loan season, maybe a new manager can get him back to that... and with actual pace around him he could be an asset.

Has he turned into Vieira yet based on two pub games?

You're getting him mixed up with Jude Bellingham

When I said "better footballers" I just meant technical wise. I'm not saying he's better overall, we haven't seen enough of him, but doesn't take much to see who's a better passer of the ball. IMO Gbamin looks more comfortable on the ball and passing the ball.

As those of us who aren't prone to writing players off
have often said, modern medicine and rehabilitation at that level is world class, he will make the numptys wanting rid and calling him a waster because he has been unfortunate with injuries, eat there words.

 

[PhilRegan]

Everytime this thread updates I'm expecting the new injury news.

 

[Nyhus]

True, he’s smaller but the most comfortable defensively of the 3 of them, maybe should have said strong instead

Youre good, im just being difficult.

 

[ValBlue]

Yes

Have to disagree with you on that one mate, he’s too slow for the premier league.
Doesn’t score, rarely assists, suffers confidence issues, he needs to go and play in the Portuguese league where less pressure IMO.

Allan is slow. keeps posesión. no attacking threat. tackles well

Gomes serves slow, not athletic, doesnt tackle, no threat, loses posesión

Dourcoure is médium pacer, has stamina, can tackle, cant pass and no attacking threat

Gbamin, if he can stay fit, has more in his locker than all 3.

Our centre midfield is still a basket case

 

[buddy]

If he turns out great who are we going to say signed him

 

[Librarian]

Why can’t we just like what he’s doing without using it as a stick to beat other players with?

Nah. Yaya Toure however ….

He might not be great but I don’t know why you’re bringing his tennis ability into it. Talk about kicking a guy when he’s down
