    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Geertruida is actually a name I'm surprised hasn't been linked to us and I think would be an amazing addition to the squad as someone that can cover across multiple positions. He's played as a 6, inverted FB at LB/RB, and CB. Has a decent amount of goal involvements as well for his position...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    To me when we started the season as we did, two differences stand out to me: 1. Our midfield was our strength and I think it makes our RB/LB look better and our side on a whole better defensively. 2. We pressed together and now we press in pieces if that makes sense. I do think having an out...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    There was a few soft links to Mohamed Amoura this week and he's very small but intriguing as you say. Did WLB ever reveal who the Swedish striker was? I know I was possibly thinking his USG teammate Gustaff Nilsson. I'd definitely be interested in reading about Amoura and the other Belgian...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Awesome insights, thanks! Yeah that's what makes this role hard to single out imo, someone who can pass relatively well but also be tasked to mop up while being somewhat mobile

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Been looking all over for a press-resistant 6 and it's definitely a harder one than at striker/wing. Rodri is the golden goose IMO. Someone who recovers the ball well, can be a CDM when needed, but sets the offensive tone for passing as well. A name I've come across a few times and like is...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    To me, Scamacca and Sesko are pretty similar. Might be a few differences, but you pointed out the main benefit to Sesko is that he's younger and his ceiling is higher depending on his development. I'd even add Vlahovic in there as well (except more left-footed than both) I think all three would...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I really think a good wildcard addition would be Gianluca Scamacca. Had a meh year at West Ham, but I'm back on his hype train at Atalanta: 18 goal involvements in 34 matches In Serie A - 24 matches total, 13 matches started, 13 goal involvements Goal involvement in Serie A every 88 minutes Two...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Might have been said on here or on Twitter but really hope he gets a chance on the pitch next season. Whether at Everton or elsewhere, I look at a side like Blackpool that has allowed Barkley to get constant run and get back into form. Maybe someone in the championship or a newly promoted side...

    Dominic Solanke (!?)

    I love watching him to be honest haha Not sure if it's a season flash in the pan form and his confidence but think he's an overall good player. Not huge, but his link up play is decent and he works hard. Good finisher as well.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Fair! I just pulled quickly from what I could find lol. I would fully expect us to follow Klopps timeline and would be OK with it myself personally as it also kind of mirrors Poch's tenure with us. A couple seasons of consistent UCL football then challenging for the top. In all honesty, next...

    Pep's finishes: 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1 Klopp finishes: 8, 4, 4, 2, 1, 3, 2, 5 Arteta finishes: 8, 8, 5, 2, 1 It looks like we'll be somewhere in the middle of those first season results, not sure if that helps people's frustrations. I understand that in today's game patience has completely gone...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Yeah I agree. Not going to harp on Porro either because it's been few mistakes overall from him and Udogie this season in a super attacking side.

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    I thought we were going to weather their pressure then Micky slipped and then costly error by Pedro. Credit to newcastles pressure. In all of our losses that's usually the difference tbh, it's the bare minimum we ask of them. Everyone was poor but really was disappointed in Bissouma, slow on...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Exactly what we hoped for. January is always about opportunity and we desperately needed a body in that position. We did as well as we could to shore it up for the short-term, while giving the player and ourselves the best position to extend the relationship if everything went well. Pretty...

    Conor Gallagher

    Hahaha! Here we go again. While I do agree with you it really seems that Ange has made it clear this is one of the midfield targets he wants. The other thing I would add is that I was surprised the other day to see he's up to 5 goals and 8 assists on the season, which is pretty solid for a CM...

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    Encouraging to see that we're looking at Tosin IMO, doesn't get much better as a "free" HG signing to round out what was one of our weakest positions just 12 months ago. I get the argument for Phillips/Dorrington, but with hopefully more competitions next season, I'd be extremely confident in...

    Alejandro "Álex" Baena Rodríguez

    To me at first glances at his stats and video clips it seems that he is a younger version of Lo Celso and maybe that's what makes him an attractive option. Ange can mould him into his system as long as he has the right character. At this current time it does see like Lo Celso is a great squad...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st January

    Agreed, I just don't know enough about him. Although it's interesting to see he plays at Union Saint-Gilloise because that is the club Boniface was at last season. He actually has similar goal involvement stats to Boniface, who was on fire in the bundesliga this season before picking up an...
