Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Nyhus]

Surely you know the difference

Difference how? Is your point that scoring goals is not winning games and therefor not changing them? Surely its not?

I’m welsh and I didn’t think it was an American term. I would say it’s a number 10 that isn’t a class play maker more of a goal threat
IE siggurdsson, Dele Ali is the same and Tim Cahill was the same. They definitely aren’t number 10’s. Well what you would class as a number 10 in the past.

It's not an American Term. Alli sits a bit deeper, but they are similar players. Siggy has played a bit deeper a couple times and I honestly believe he's good in that role - he's a good defensive player and his work rate makes up for his lack of athleticism. I think he'd be FINE in either of Silva's 4-3-3s in front of the two CMs/DMs.

How is a guy that's had double digit assists twice in his PL career for a poor side NOT a class play maker?

Again, I think we can associating a 10 with a style of play - holding the ball, dribbling, passing first, not necessarily a threat from distance, etc.

Trippier is supposed to be available at a cut price deal. Not the youngest but a better crosser than Seamus has ever been.

Big salary, though. He's definitely good.

Thought Spurs pay less on wages than us now days ?

 

[The Penny Blue]

Because for the transfer to happen 3 things have to occur
Barca set a minimum price
Club(s) meet that price
Gomes has to agree to the transfer
If Barca want shut badly enough and rumour is they want a clear out then Gomes holds the key to the transfer

The one thing that the “bidding” process doesn’t take into account is players refusing deals. In MLB NFL NHL and other American Leagues players are traded without the players willing to sometimes

He might be the worst fullback for defending in the entire league

 

[Nyhus]

I said this in the Gylfi thread too, but i think the issue with him is simple. He doesnt always play as a10, he’s a very flexible player, asked to play many roles. Juding him as a 10 every game is unfair to the player and manager,yet its done again and again and again.

Daglsh , Giles , Cantona , Beardsley
Siggy is the nearest thing we have to a No 10 in our current squad

I agree he's not the best defender but neither is Seamus to be fair.

It’s great he’s close to getting 15 goals this season, playing off the striker how many pens? But we didn’t pay 45mil for him to score 10 goals from open play a season.

We paid that for him the dominate the final 3rd and create chance after chance. And I’m not sure he does create enough or control games for us.

Interesting question, who would you say in this run of 5 wins in 8. Has Bernard (1 goal) or Sigurdsson (4/5 goals) been the better, more influential player.

As I said
It doesn’t work that way in football

Seriously mate. I don’t remember Giles. But the other 3 are world class and on another level to siggurdsson.

And like I said all them 3 are miles ahead from a technical point of view and would influence games that won teams titles.

 

[nsno-chris]

i long for the days of just having defenders, midfielders and strikers. ‘Koff with all this “no. 6”, “no. 8”, “split striker”, “false 9” garbage

Football is a simple game being over complicated by tits

 

[TheBigIguana]

Seamus is approximately 723x the defender Trippier is

You asked for no 10 s
Giles was as good if not better than those mentioned
Him and Bremner were the best midfield 2 in England in the 70s
