Sounds like there are a few in progress. Would be good to get a few in this week so they'll have the friendlies in the UK to work with the squad.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

Maybe, but still a fair bit further forward than Nixonator's opinion that our midfield plays 10 inches in front of the back line every game, which is what I was responding to.
You can't make that assumption without knowing the heat map for the back four.
What it does tell us, which does back up [MENTION=33924]Nixonator[/MENTION] (and my point of view) is that the team doesn't play a formation that allows for a 10 goal a season midfielder.

I think in the later part of the season we were starting to look more comfortable, less 'backs to the wall'. Hopefully this will develop and we will start perform more as we did in the Championship, playing the same system, when our midfield did chip in with more goals.
As for the heat map, Proppers hot spot was not dissimilar to that of Sadio Mane in the 4-0 runaround Liverpool gave us. Obviously Mane had less defending to do in that match, but you can see below that he operated in a similar area, and he scores 20 goals a season.
We are both looking at the same images, aren't we?

There's very little comparison between the 2. Propper is FAR more defensive.

Yves Bissouma is the one l would really love to see. Rumour has it that even if we do manage to land Percy Tau, we won't see anything of him this season as he will be immediately loaned out to another club in Europe, to facilitate him obtaining a work permit.
Proper barely touched it in the opposition box . Clear to see what we need to improve on.
Wasn't Mane also subbed with about 20 to go.
Anyway , cant see the signings happening today . Surely anything today will be confirmed with the new shirt tomorrow.

In my opinion, Mané has much bigger balls, but Pröpper has the bigger winky.

Love that, quote of the year. This has to make someone's signature surely!

Looking at the heat map it looks like the difference is that Propper is into the semis, whereas Mane hasn't made it past the 1st round.
Sane is so quick he’s already finished.

Don't wait for me!
I'm lost why are we comparing a CM who plays in a 4-5-1 with a forward who plays in a 4-3-3?
