[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

I would say he fits "Potterball" perfectly. He is so intelligent he can do a job almost anywhere on the pitch. I'll tell you who DOESN'T fit Potterball - Lallana. 54 appearances, 1 goal, 2 assists, not strong enough for a DCM berth, not productive enough for an ACM berth, not pacy enough to play out wide.

Although his goal return has been disappointing, there have been plenty of games among those 54 where Lallana has run the midfield. The style has become more effective as the other midfielders have become more adept at moving the ball in the way Lallana does. Hopefully the improvement will sustain / continue and we may be looking back on his time with us in the same way Liverpool fans do about his time with them. He is an incredibly intelligent and technically excellent ball player who has been key in helping his teammates deliver on his manager's intentions.

This.

Driving us forward, instinctively it’s the only way he knows to play the game.

He just doesn’t fit with Potterball IMHO. That said, GP does seem to love him

Thanks. I thought they were after one of our players and was trying to work out who. The best I came up with was Big Bad Dunk lol.

we may look back and feel he was under-appreciated but I'd be very surprised if we end up looking back on him the same way as a club where he won a league title and a champions league

 

[The Fits]

Nathan Ake. That’s who we should try and sign.

Sorry didn’t ge the notification, it was Diaz I was talking about

A couple of years ago, when he knocked us out of the League Cup, I'd have snapped your hand off for Juan Mata. At his best, he was one of the finest midfielders in Europe. Like Lallana, I can see that he could be the sort of pro you might want to have around the club to help bring youngsters through. He's won trophies throughout his career, including the Champions League and, alright, he was a squad player, but he's won the bloody World Cup! I can't see him playing the number of games that Pascal still can, but if the club see some advantage in bringing him in, then great.

I'd have him over Lallana in a heartbeat. Two major reasons to that, (a) he's not a walking sicknote and (b) he actually knows how to put the ball in the net.

Howe love in and wages, suspect he’s off to the Toon like

 

[Lurchy]

Nathan Ake. That’s who we should try and sign.

Doesn’t fit our business model. If we’re looking for a Cucurella replacement, we should probably have Melvin Bard high on our list. He’s been great for Nice and is only going to get better.

I'm surprised this 'catch all' thread had drifted down a few pages. Are things that quiet on the 'incoming' front?

Not incoming, but outgoing very soon....
