Not wishing to be pedantic, but Dale's passing stats this season are approximately 64% forwards 36% backwards. Both Delaney and Propper are practically identical, both with 63% forwards 37% backwards.
Dale's pass completion is 85%, Propper's is 79% and Delaney's only 71%.
He is not my favourite player by any means, but his stats prove he is not as bad as some think.
King scores goals. Something our current midfield does not do.
And Propper has looked tired of late. Unsurprising after playing every PL game since joining. He's used to a winter break.
We're missing Sidders badly I feel. Both for his experience and his leadership.
Added depth and competition surely must be a plus?
FWIW I think Propper will be much more useful once we have the speedster up front. His range of passing is not fully utilised by our lumbersome front line.
Listening to Total Football podcast their guest Miles Jacobson, director of Football Manager says that even after signing Locadia we are still one of 6 clubs interested in Dembélé. Don’t know how ITK he is but interesting if true.
I think Dembele, thinks he is better than he is. Waiting on a top club to come in for him, not happened yet so unlikely too. He needs to look a bit lower prove he can cut it in the league with a struggling team, then the big boys will come calling. Or he is just happy carrying on the in the Mickey Mouse league.
BOTTOM OF PAGE 2!
Thats where I found this thread. Disgraceful. Need some rumours. Need some optimism.
It's not often, but I disagree with most of this:
-- King's record is hardly stunning. Check out Propper's record for Holland, where he plays a little more advanced.
-- Propper really didn't look tired yesterday, he was all over the place, and had an excellent game
-- missing Sidwell? He'd just give loads of free kicks away, especially around our penalty area.
-- we do, however, need added depth, quality and competition in CM
-- both Gross' and Propper's range of passing would benefit from a speedster up front
It's interesting to consider the implications if Chelsea don't cancel the Izzy Brown loan.
We are allowed 2 loans in total ( from England ).
If Goldson is to go out on loan, it may mean a loan is required to replace him.
It may also be that striker 2 is to be a loan.
Striker 2 may well be a buy, but an Ulloa/Hemed additional upgrade as well would require a loan.
Another issue : If striker 2 is U21 ( ie Dembele ) then we have room in the 25 for a midfield signing.
If striker 2 is, say, Fyodor Smolov or Florin Andone, and over 21, then to also bring in an over 21 midfielder we'd probably need to loan out Skalak.
Lots of connected possibilities, but let's just get striker 2 in soon and take it from there.
Other than Schelotto, I thought Propper was our next best player Saturday, his late arrival into the box to crash Gross's cross onto the post is what we need to see more of. When Propper and Gross look up, which they both do, they are lucky if they see 2 decent options going forward, let alone 3 or 4. Our lack of pace means defences are pushing right up as Bournemouth did, with Izquierdo benefitting but unfortunately not finishing. Some extra pace up front will hopefully change that and give a bit more dynamism to our forward play.
Well I'd have thought it was a formaility, but it was reported it hadn't been done yet yesterday.Is there any reason Chelsea shouldn't cancel Brown's loan? Surely his wages are covered by insurance?
But I don't suppose we want to go on paying all or part of his wages just for fun. No good reason not to ask for the loan to be cancelled, incoming loan or not.Perhaps we havent bothered to request the cancellation as they do not have another loan in mind.
