Then our priority has to become finding someone with a creative output close to Gross. Because if you take him out of our midfield you lose almost all of our creativity from CM. Maybe Gilmour can be that man playing a more advanced position.
One of several reasons why he reminds me of early bissouma. He used to do something outrageous followed by spanking a pass out of play or a shot at the corner flag.
Pascal definitely feels like our most irreplaceable player right now, without him would be a huge creative and very versatile hole. Be interesting to see who we might replace him with, although hopefully we can get a few more years of that gross turn out of him
Hinshelwood.
I think they're both out of our league.
Great shout. Will be fascinating to see how he develops.
Although probably not as baffling as the fact that he also couldn't seem to get a tune out of Mahmoud Dahoud, a player he wanted at Sassuolo, a player of whom he said (once he'd joined Albion) "..I'm sure he is going to be a top player for us" and of whom he said after the opening day win "Dahoud is a great player for us, because he is specific for our idea of football, our style of play....."
Well we can definitely say he ain't now
I think RDZ said Moder was most like him style wise, and he does seem to prefer him more forward than in the pivot. Whether he rates him enough in the end is a different question.
Hinshelwood does seem like the more similar of the two to me. Interesting that RDZ feels Moder is similar as I'd have said they're very different players
Imagine doing that and then spending months lsoing and blaming the owner for no signings. Anyone else would´ve been butchered. About Loctaelli I googled him and it said he turned down Arsenal to play for Juve. Dont think he wants to go to a club where people are celebrating a loss against Liverpool lke weve won a cup
I absolutely agree, maybe this is what KDH is supposed to provide from the more advanced position?
Gross is exceptionally hard to replace, not many out there with his quality.
He will never not walk. The man will never die. When Armageddon comes, the only things that survive will be cockroaches and Pascal Gross Cruyff-turning one of them.
Especially if we don't get Europe again,.. which is looking like a tough ask as it currently stands.
