I didnt actually realise this was one of their gossip from the papers posts. Surprised they went as far to tweet about it like this.

Nothing to see here probably. My bad.

Na I’d rather have the positivity than not, plus as you’ve already notes there is a Pjanic thread already so there may well be something in it ?

Edit: actually there isn’t. Now my bad!

I see a similarity in this to Nuno bringing in Moutinho at Wolves.

A experienced technically gifted calming influence to the midfield for certain situations.

exactly what we need in midfield - PEH, Tanguy or GLC and Pjanic.

I wouldn't be against the idea but I feel like he'd need legs around him. Not sure how mobile Pjanic is but I don't recall him being very athletic. Wolves fans have been struggling with Moutinho now as he's become less and less mobile.

It feels like Kessie might be a smarter move. We need to deploy PEH like Denmark have. He's a far more progressive passer than he was allowed to be last season. He showed flashes off it and at Euros he's been one of, if not the, most creative player in the tournament. Joint top on assists too.

Simple answer for your whole post.

Oliver Skipp.

Has the legs to help Pjanic, has the defensive awareness/ability to allow Hojbjerg to do similar to what he's been doing for the national team.

My bias for the lad is probably shining within all of my posts about him. However, he is bloody good & I'm in no doubt whatsoever that he's going to prove to be a very important player for us.

Great shout, forget all about Skippy.

Tanguy is also pretty good these days at getting about the pitch. GLC too if he can stay fit, although I feel like he could be better deployed in the 10 role next season, if we play with one.

We have plenty options in CM. It probably shouldn't be high on the priority list. I guess Pjanic is worth taking if he's very cheap to acquire.

It's a loan according to reports.

Think it would be a transfer, Barca are “apparently” willing to let him and umtiti go for free as they need money for messi contract.

The Pjanic/Arthur swap still baffles me

OK. I admit to knowing very little outside of THFC. But isn't Umtiti rather good, as is Pjanic?

We need a left footed/sided CB, we're not stacked with transfer funds.

Umtitis Wikipedia states...

Umtiti is a powerful and rangy left-footed central defender, who is predominantly known for his physical strength, anticipation, pace, ability in the air, and tackling, as well as his distribution, technique, and ability on the ball, which enables him to carry the ball out from the defence, or start attacking plays.


Is this not exactly what we require?

If we are going for a three with Pjanic at the base, then we will have to partner him with one of Hojbjerg or Skipp. None of the other options are ideal partners in there.
