Doesn’t surprise me, if we got 15M and re invested a chunk then we would be tempted.

Just isn't going to happen in this window. You don't go and bring in Ward and with Matos being open he is being brought into that role. Which signals in my mind Galbraith back into mid field. Come the summer I think he'll go but not now.

 

[Ringwood]

I think the Ward signing will be an astute one.

You don't understand football, you and Lisa have never played the game, it's obvious from the sh*t you spout on football.. he followed up a shot hoping the keeper f*cks up from 1 yard out.. it wasn't clever, genius or anything.. well done Idah, doing something coaches have drilled into you from age 7

I've seen some arrogance . . . . . Who did you play for?

Debate is fine, discussion is fine but keep it adult and grown up please. It's very easy to do some hoovering up of posts, it's equally as easy to provide some holiday time from the forum if that is what is needed.

Keep it civil and there is never an issue.

On the topic of Inoussa:

When he first got here he was always using clever flicks or first touches to get the ball past his man, open up a little bit of space either down the line or coming inside opening up the possibility of the overlap for Tymon.

Sheehan thoroughly coached that out of him, we have seen glimpses of him offering that again but it will take time and confidence for that to come back to him. Like you I also hope that he can grow to become the player the club thought he could become when they decided to invest a five year contract into him.

I don't know how much we've spent on Inoussa, there were conflicting figures reported, but he's definitely a concern.
He's 23 and he only had Sheehan coaching him for a few months so we can't blame that.
His fitness levels aren't great & whilst he has the skills to beat a defender he never seems to drive into the box to get a shot off himself or create for another player. If that's a confidence thing then the coaches really need to work on it with him.
And tell him to stop falling over & claiming for non fouls...

Inoussa seems such a mixed bag.
At times he can glide past a player and look to get at his defender and at times he plays safe or looks nakered.
Think with the right coaching he could turn into a very dangerous winger.

He frustrates because he'll beat a defender & then dawdle on the ball & let the defender come back at him, he's got the pace & physicality to do much better

How many assists does Inoussa have?

 

[JackSomething]

How many assists does Inoussa have?

2 if ESPN are to be believed.

Tymon has 4, Ronald and Franco have 3, while Yalcouye also has 2.

(Those stats are Championship games only, although Inoussa doesn't have any from the Carabao Cup games anyway)

Been so disappointed with him I thought he would have kicked on when Sheehan went but he's been worse tbh.

2 assists is correct.
Ronald has definitely gone backwards compared to last season, same with Eom in that respect.
But half a season under Sheehan where we were afraid to attack has played a huge part in that.

Unfortunately he is a very bad buy, simply not good enough. I don't buy into that he will get better, he's beyond improving. You can't coach him to shoot and cross at 23, by that age he has either got it or he ain't. I would even put him a few levels below Bianchini.

Im willing to give him another season as it takes different players different times to adjust. He has shown glimpses of being a really good player. But then drops off the next game. Same could be said for Eom. We have too many players at moment who are good one week and not so much the next.
