Not seen such Bravery!
Zlatko Junuzovic is leaving Bremen on a free, and we probably need another attacking midfielder.
30 maybe a shade old for us though ?

Not really. He's our's on contract until 2020, so we can just do nothing if we want.
We could sell him, but I rather hope we don't. I'd still like to see whether he can make the step up - several others have, after all.

A bit left field, but Andone and Babacar could do a job.
Don't know if anyone else on NSC has heard of them?

Judging by there's and Batiapedi (
) 2018 forum you're going to have to be more specific about which job.
I'd imagine he's out of the Albion's price structure but West Ham are being 'linked' with Real's attacking midfielder Isco.
This would be incredible.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

Probably just click bait but it's nice to dream, and might explain why Chris has been testing the 433 formation recently. Aleksandr Golovin and Jose on our left side would be enough to scare any right back in the world.

Locadia has shown more than enough to me over his brief run outs to suggest he will be more than decent addition to our squad. And at pretty good money
Played in his correct position and with a run of matches he could be quite a handful.

If Glenn's going to go, can we sign his brother?

I wonder if Chris might go back to trying a back 5, with Schelotto and Bong (a n other) as the wing backs... Dunk, Duffy & Goldson would offer at least 2/3 mobility and decent passing from the central positions.

I would like CH to try that as it seems a worthwhile trial once we are safe.
Sadly, I agree completely. If there's a quality player in there, we've not yet seen much evidence of it. I think people's assessments of his showings to date have been extremely generous (a rarity on here) simply because everyone so badly WANTS him to be a hit.
I've seen no evidence that he is close to being as fast over the ground as Sam Baldock (who incidentally also 'strikes the ball well with either foot'). Baldock also works five times harder, for the cause.
Locadia looked promising at Old Trafford in the cup game - a few good efforts at goal. In general, he needs to massively up his game, to look anything close to value, at £15m.

I reckon he needs a run up top on his own, rather than wide of Murray
I agree that it is not fair to judge him until he has had a go at that.
However it is worth noting that, that is NOT where he mostly played for PSV, and is NOT what he himself considers to be his best position.

I reckon I could do for Jurgen what Wenger did for Henry.
