Saint_clark Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I do like the look of this guy. Guessing we don't have an option to buy included if he's highly thought of at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems less able to play on the turn than Lavia; so presumably that will still be Flynn's job. But he does seem to have the destroyer element to his game like big Vic had.

We've really been missing a tall, strong, athletic CM player for some time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

23rdSaint Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Just now, hypochondriac said: He may not come back but he doesn't play in the same position as Fraser so I don't see how. I should clarify, I was referring to the squad number. Not that squad numbers hold *that* much importance. But if there was a chance he was returning, we'd have surely given Ugochukwu another shirt... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyinthesky Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Cant see Fraser coming back. We have a bloated squad already and although the Wee Man did well for is in the Championship he is not Prem standard unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSA96 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Russell Martin on Lesley Ugochukwu: "It is the number six position mostly where he will compete with Flynn Downes or play alongside him, but it's a big position with lots going through it so it takes a bit to learn." "They [new signings] have only had a couple of training sessions but we are delighted they're here. This is their opportunity to be here with us in the Premier League, I have been impressed with them. The challenge is to force their way into the team." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patches O Houlihan Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 All his touches tonight against Cardiff. Big Les bossing it. Lavia crossed with Wanyama - you love to see it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Matty 76 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Good player. A type of body we've missed and it'll be really important in certain games to set-up with both him and Downes in midfield. Feel like they could compliment each other really well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintant Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 He could be the big midfield unit we've been missing for so long. Covers the ground rapidly with his long stride so can snuff out danger. He's a tidy passer and is capable of breaking forward and carrying the ball. Just what we need and I feel he should start on Saturday alongside Downes and Fernandes. However, I doubt RM will be so keen to change two in midfield so we may only see Fernandez which would be a pity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavia crossed with Wanyama - you love to see it Some silky play there laced with power - the guy is a tank and will be better than Wanyama was for us. Like Fernandez he spots a pass quickly and plays it. With these two our midfield will have a bit about it and move the ball much quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The good thing about having another defensive midfielder on board is that Smallbone can operate further forwards, which is more his thing. But with Fernandes and Les on board, with Dibling pushing hard too and Lallana looking like he has something to offer, Will and Joe have their places in jeopardy right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
