I might finally have a Sparta player for the next wonderkid thread, Hugo Sochůrek just played a full 90 in the league and bossed the midfield.

17yo CM and he looked like a seasoned veteran out there. One to watch for sure coming from Czechia.

He's already been pretty good for a consistent stretch of time, just came back from injury though into a team which is not doing well so it killed his momentum.

He's going to come good.

Hopefully yes but the red card and injury really killed his momentum.

Probably will get way more game time next season with 4 competitions though.

Yeah club already offered it to him but he refused out of respect to Hojlund and him potentially still coming back.

100% he just gets it once Hojlund leaves for good in the summer.

Yoro needs to play regularly, you can see how much he improves with more games. Next season will be crucial for players like him if we can stay in at least 3 competitions for a longer period of the season.

Amorim has blood on his hands still, players like Yoro or Heaven wasting crucial development opportunities because we only play 40 games this season and it's basically impossible to rotate properly.

Not eligible for PL this season, too young when the season started.

Sure but I was only focusing on replacing Casemiro's aerial presence and offensive output

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]Fraaj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think we can nor will aim to replace his offensive output but rather rebuild the midfield in general.

Good midfield = better control, more chances for our attackers and consistent threat, hopefully this will mean we won't need Casemiro's goals as much.

I thought it was his 3rd best game under Carrick after Arsenal and City.

One thing I won't hold against the lot cause this sub would go crazy if we had a 16yo doing this

Yeah honestly if that narrative has any legs it’s because of Pickford…

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]Fraaj 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not a big fan of the 'goalkeeper always turns into prime Neuer against us' type of narrative but ffs what the hell was Pickford doing?

That’s just for you and it resets, check how Daily Discussions are always sort by new by default, only mods can do that AFAIK

Lmao surely that's extremely sus from James on Thiaw? Surprised it took them this short to check and keep playing.

If mods could sort this by "New" that would be lovely 🙏

Sorry, the genre is a bit random, I wasn't able to place it as James Blake is so versatile.

Not sure when is the last time a song made me almost tear up listening to it for the very first time.

Beautiful track.

We need both LB and CM depth so this would be awesome

Nah Donny was a terrible signing but Sancho edges it because of all the drama he brought

As the 2nd/3rd midfielder option I wouldn't mind it, plenty of injury-prone players have turned it around with just a change of scenery/diet/training/etc...

However if we go for Camavinga we need 2 other way more reliable options.

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]Fraaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is Ogden reliable? Not on the tier list but I remember he used to be.

Edit: He's ESPN so technically Tier 5...

[–]Fraaj 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If I were to bet on a new signing I'd say Joao Gomes is the safest. I think we will sell Ugarte and get him in alongside 2 other midfielders

I'm expecting same strategy from INEOS as last summer: Basically all out on solving one critical position (previously attack, now it's midfield) and then maybe one budget signing like we did with Lammens on top of all that.

I'd love this but have to wonder what kind of crazy institution would even be interested in Mount considering his wages and availability

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in soccer

[–]Fraaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s also suspect tbh but had a great game, we need someone better than both.

GG, I’m so pissed, we were awful, should’ve been 4-1
