[Albion] Transfer Rumour - Wilmar Barrios

[vagabond]

Alzate, Molumby, Lallana, Gross, Dale. I would easily prefer any of these to Davy.

Then other alternatives if required who can play in the middle (eg Ben White, MacAllister). They would probably as well as him..

Plus this new fella?

I just don’t see Davy coming ahead of all these guys. He’s a decent squad player at best. Can’t score, can’t tackle, slow, gives goals away, struggles with Potters quick first time passing. He’s offski imo.

None of us know, so let’s wait and see.

Seen him play a few times in copa america. Very quick, loves a tackle also seems a bit reckless though. Would be brilliant for a pressing team he's all over players like a rash but also can see him getting plenty of red cards and giving silly fouls away. Completely different to anything we currently have. Positives is he would add a lot of energy to our midfield, actually shoots moves the ball forward and shoots. If I were to compare him to prem players we're looking at a mix between Jefferson Lerma and Lucas Torreira from what I've seen.

Molumby, Stephens, Gross, Alzate , Lallana in holding midfield over Propper? What's the thought process behind that?

 

[Questions]

Wilmaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!

If it happens then surely we go for Man Utd’s Fred.

So Davy being a Netherlands international = squad player but this guys being a Colombian International = starter?

I never said the signing in itself was risky, I said selling Propper would be risky.

As much as you don't rate him, he was our starting CM last year and was a large reason as to why we stayed up.

he wasn't, he doesnt offer neither goals or assists so could argue he contributed to the reason we were in trouble up to lockdown.

He Rarely takes the game by the scruff of the neck and is often a passenger. Occasionally will spin a nice pass with the outside of his foot and people then claim is decent.

We wouldnt miss him at all IMO. Can get better than him for sure

This Wilma looks decent

You should see the challenges he makes in the Russian League

Have you seen how many goals and assists Wilmar Barrios got last season...

Sorry I will not validate with my presence, a thread that begins:-

I weep for humanity.

I’ve already said a fair amount there. Go back and read.

Or alternatively explain why we shouldn’t sell Davy, make your case.

1 goal , same as Propper

Him DM

Biss and Lallana to get 5 each

That would be ideal

[spence]

I can see Ben White playing DM

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Never mind midfield........still no striker(s) !!
PS Davy Propper no longer a Dutch international !!

I have no issue with people criticising Propper but I find comments like this very odd. We may well play a midfield two if we play three at the back. If we do, Gross and Lallana are not even competing with him. No way either of them plays in a midfield two. And Molumby has never played a Premier League game so how can you judge that?

I would prefer Propper to Stephens but can understand why you'd say the opposite. I agree re Alzate and think he may well start the season alongside Bissouma, especially as Propper missed the Chelsea friendly. However to say players who probably won't be competing with him (as they would be playing in a front three instead) suggests an agenda of some sort

"Do not believe the rumors, I am happy at Zenit and in Saint Petersburg. My family and I have adapted perfectly to the city," Barrios said. "I am fully focused on winning even more trophies and doing well in the Champions League with this club."

So Propper 1 goal in Premier League = no good?

Barrios 1 goal in Russian League = good?

Bissouma also only scored 1 goal last season...

yep midfield was shit for goals.

Biss has some drive and aggression though .

Propper - not for me clive , just my opinion
