Saint Matty 76 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Just now, Saint Marky said: I love the fact the COT didn’t have a clue about them. @supertadic21 did though, anything else? We're two good signings away from me thinking we have a chance this year for the first time, I just pray we're able to do it. Ramsdale was always going to be a late one as they waited for a permanent buyer, but the Ajax link worries me as it'd surely be a preferable move for Arsenal. Truly who knows what's going on with MOR but I have a bit of hope there due to Brighton/Atalanta now seemingly looking elsewhere, and us bringing in good funds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Welcome Cam Archer - looks like you’ve got a couple of good feet, so let’s hope we get the ball to you so you can show what you can do with them. Hint: you might need to wait for quite long spells.😜 Edited August 16 by Saint Fan CaM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chownie20 Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 There is a scary, electric player in Sulemana if he can get himself sorted. Made an impact in the prem last time, and took Leeds apart when we won 3-1 at SMS. But obviously he isn't a preferred starter and arguably is getting caught by SAA and TB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown no sign that he'll be anything other than a speed merchant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just ask what you're basing that on, given that he was utterly ineffective in the league below and has done absolutely nothing pre-season? Genuinely curious.

He has zero skill to get past players and is reliant on his speed but I don't actually think he's as quick as people make out him to be.

He has zero skill to get past players and is reliant on his speed but I don't actually think he's as quick as people make out him to be. Id sell him. Admittedly, there haven't been a lot of opportunities to see him at top speed with the whole field to run into, but he strikes me as someone with elite acceleration, but only over relatively short distances. If you compare him to someone like Doku or even prime Ronaldo, he just seems too slight to maintain that pace for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is quick but the attackers who do well in Premier League also have power, which he has none of. His decision making is also horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it’s the slowing down to assess what’s in front of him, control his breathing and not worrying about the defenders starting to catch him before he takes his shot that’s filling me with confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
