Niclas Ekiasson, has to be a player Johan Lange is up to speed on.
Maybe some truth in this one.

I hope this is just paper talk half his appearances last year were off the bench which doesn’t fill me full of confidence re his quality.

Not bad stats in the Championship last season:

Played 37
Goals 3
Assists 12

Perhaps not prolific in terms of goals, but appears to be a more traditional winger: left footed working the left wing, rather than following the trend of cutting in onto his favoured foot from the opposite flank.

Career: Goal every 10, assist every 3.

I can’t imagine his fee would be too heavy.

Probably would mean shifting Jack across though.

I think Benrahma must still be the preferred choice of winger, despite the likely bun fight with the ‘ammers’.

The concern lies with fall-back options. It seems as though Harry Wilson doesn’t float the boat for Smith/ Lange. Buendia, who I rate technically, seems to have been forgotten too.

I know many will disagree, but I think our midfield gets overrun if Grealish is one of three, so playing him in the front three suggests to me we have to have two genuine goals scorers. Most of the wingers, Benrahma aside, don’t consistently do that.

An alternative is to utilise wing backs and play two up front, but that would be a big tactical departure for Smith. Ironically, it would probably suit Cash and Targett just fine. Maybe with Tuanzebe being the third man at the back?

Just a thought.

Just been looking at Niclas Eliasson videos and he certainly ha good dribbling and passing skills.

I’m likewise concerned that he only started half the games he played last season. and he’s nearly 25. If he was good enough, he’d have stood out. But. crossing ability is lacking in our current squad.

Personally, I could see us using Jack at 8, alongside McGinn, with Douglas screening I think it’s a good midfield. Benrahma left, Watkins right. Edouard through the middle. Boom!

AJ, I agree totally about or midfield mate, and I think a player like Buendia would compliment Jack no end, he can play anywhere across the pitch, LW, AM, RW, and he carries the ball well.

From what I can remember about him when watching the occasional game on TV or Quest highlights he looks useful, nothing more nothing less, and that's about the extent of my knowledge. Maybe if this is classed as a bargain bin purchase it could mean we're saving our main money for a big signing? We live in hope 🤔.

I’ve just read that WH have pulled out of the running for Benrahma, apparently he needs to sell to buy. This leaves us in a good position to buy. Also heard we’ve had a bid for Callum Wilson rejected 12-14 mill with add ins was quoted.

Also Rashica May come up again as his agent has come out publicly saying he needs a new challenge and he will move this window. not sure if that’s to villa though. I personally think we should stump up the money for either Edouard or Watkins and make a statement.

04 Sep 2020 13:25:25
Looks as though most people pulling out of running for Brentford players atm because of stupid fees being quoted. unfortunately this may mean end of the window signings when they come to their senses and lower prices.

Unless of course someone gets twitchy and pulls trigger on unrealistic fee.
