Odsonne Edouard

Ffs you're at it

I know it's not more than £10m and if it is that much I'm happy enough about it as Brendan knows his attacking players and he's made enough out of two CL group stages and Europa 32 stage to afford to buy players of that amount without causing disharmony amongst the squad.

I'm sure big Tam got a pretty good pay rise which I'm quite happy about as well.

I have total confidence that the board will never over reach when it comes to our long term budget.

 

Just got a suspended 4 month jail sentence, better be a very good bhoy from now on.

 

Would love to see the media reaction to him mimicking firing a gun while celebrating a goal.

 

That was last year.

 

The incident happened last year but he’s just been given the sentence.

 

At the Bigotdome in December, he rattles in a screamer from 40 yards.

Runs up to the Celtic end of the ground (where the Huns are now housed in our seats) and gets down on one knee like a sniper firing into the unwashed hordes.

 

Nope, he was sentenced in July last year. He however appealed it and the appeal failed yesterday.

 

Anyone wondering how we keep Griff happy or where we accommodate him with our outlay on Edouard? You want to get the best out of both whilst also accommodating Dembele

Dont know but the three of them all bring alot to the table. I expect Edouard to be first choice with Moussa being utilised for his strength especially in champions league.
Griff can also have a impact for us if he stays fit, pretty much more of the same if none get sold.
Brendan will start him if hes fit and does well in training but with our tactics i think we have a quality attack all round and rotating might be an option.

 

Dembele will be first choice. He's the best striker at the club.

 

Can

You say

That again.

 

I reckon we'll look to get the best out of Odsonne now hes our player. Agree Dembele is arguabably better all round, we might even see a change of tactics to accomidate them both but if theres only one place in the starting lineup then im happy to see either come off the bench.

 

The way we play now, theres room for 2 of them to start a lot.

I actually prefer Edouard playing more in the number 10 area, when he plays as the striker he tends to come too deep most of the time often near the half way line to link play and he likes to run with the ball forward.

I'd probably see Edouard competing mostly with McGregor.

Gordon
Lustig Ajer Boyata
Forrest Brown Ntcham Tierney
Rogic Edouard
Dembele
​

Can rotate Dembele and Griffiths up front and McGregor and Edouard in the role in behind off the left.

 

I think that will be his preferred formation with Lustig out..

If we sign that Adubajo, I wouldn't be surprised if Brendan fancies converting him to a right centre half with his pace and power. He keeps trying it out with KT on the left side of centre half....which I think is where he'll start against the Armenian mob..

Can't just dismiss Sinclair like that either, however poor he became last season..

Even Griff and Edouard I wouldn't mind rotating off each other when Dembele is out..

 

Yeah with the way we ended up playing most of last season, with Tierney providing the width we're better suited with a player like Eddy or McGregor in there than Sinclair, tbh think that half explains Sinclair's decline, he was tucked in far too tight with Tierney being the wide player most of the time.

 

Aye, Odubajo would enable us to play 4-2-3-1 again and Sinclair could get more games. I don't think Rodgers likes playing like that with Lustig as he keeps the team off balance, he's just too slow there that teams can easily shut down our left knowing Lustig rarely comes forward and slows down our play on the right which made us too easy to play against.

If we have a quicker and more attacking right-back Forrest could be let off the leash more as he'd not be under as much pressure to get back and having Forrest and Odubajo on the right would have teams much more worried and less able to just concentrate on the left so the game would be opened up more for Tierney and Sinclair and Odubajo and Forrest.

 

I actually meant in a back 3 at time's like Walker does with England and City..

In a 4 with a strong, rapid attacking right back, same as KT on the left....we'd be devastating..

Agree about Forrest and Sinclair..

Really we should've had someone lined up for Lustig the start of last season, but Lustig had been excellent still during the invincible season..
