Can't see it tbh and if we're going to go down, I'd rather have Adams than Ings. It would be both. They worked together really well and would be a massive boost. I know we have to suck it up a bit but he has the talent and PL experience to get some goals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What height do you need to be to ride this rollercoaster? Hes the same height as Aaron Cresswell and bigger than the likes of Rico Lewis and Tariq Lamptey. Teams may try and target that, but if they're good enough a player it wont really matter. As an ever present in City's youth sides the last few seasons and with caps for Spain under 19, hes on a decent trajectory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left back is another position that we have below par players. If, after about the fifth go, we can finally sign one that is top notch, you'll have zero complaints from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_SFC Posted 3 January, 2023 Share Posted 3 January, 2023 Every time I've seen Orsic play he looks class. 30 years old but exactly what we need in this situation.

Seems like a deal that would make sense as probably affordable to keep if we do go down. Article says he has not travelled for a training camp due to transfer talks but does say sources in England think there is a medical this week, although haven't seen any UK reports of that.

If there’s even a tiny follicle chance of him scoring goals we should take it. He’s head and shoulders above anyone in our team. He just scores goals I can’t put it as bald as that. If he was scoring goals Villa wouldn't be considering selling him - that's always assuming they are which I doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at youtube (its never let me down and is 100% reliable), its a yes from me, seems to play on the right and cut in, although he scored a worldie on the left with croatia v morrocco.

S-Clarke Posted 3 January, 2023 Share Posted 3 January, 2023 It's refreshing to see us looking at 'older' players though, which seems a weird thing to say. This guy has pedigree no doubts, I remember Burnley fans getting very excited about signing him last January. Has Tadic vibes about him, provides a good goal threat from wide areas. Intelligence is what we're crying out for more than blistering pace and skill in these areas, this guy looks like he fits that somewhat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
