    Although he seems to be this seasons Adama Traore with some idiot fans saying like that.
    My thought exactly. Was going to post earlier, bring him and Traore in and we’re sorted

    We definitely need to give Thiago next season. Too many issues this season to know wether it will work out or not but upto now its certainly been a big disappointment. Weve been crying out for that technician in midfield and when we landed him lots of us thought he was the missing piece.
    For instance if Ruiz was signed ( not likely though) how does our midfield line up?

    He hasn’t shown enough for me to be considered a player for us, on his day with his pace he is dangerous though.

    I just don’t think he is good enough if we want to challenge.
    I think he is and absolutely can be working with Jurgen and our other lads, I liked him instantly when I first saw him for Newcastle, he definitely has something very special and can become a very special player, but he wasn't putting it all together into the team game then, there were just glimpses of it, this season he looks to have adapted to the league and be putting it all together. Obviously depends what we could get him for, I do think he could be a very good addition to our team, I never once thought that about Traore, he's just a lump

    Ruiz Hendo Thiago

    all day long

    Could mix and match better by bringing Ruiz in too, and he has considerable experience of playing numerous positions to the highest level DM CM LCM RCM LFWD RFWD No9

    He would give us incredible options, be absolutely brilliant to have a natural left footer of his ability at LCM too

    Fair enough if that is your opinion mate.

    I think we need a number 9 more today was a complete joke we should have been 3 or 4 up.

    Mane missed that chance trying to round the keeper and was laughing it was disgusting attitude.

    If we went 2-0 up we would have won I’m confident of that but I guess we have improved since Xmas as we do at least score one goal now !

    We were linked with him a few days ago but not by anything reputable. Mainly linked with Real,Barca and Atletico.

    Most of you would probably love

    Ruiz Fab Hendo

    Insane level of opitions, ability and possibilities for crossfield switches and first time quality crosses from deep from LCM and RCM and so much more, genuine options to start different midfield line ups without the long standing issue we've had that only certain combos actually work well together and make a good midfield

    I'm pretty aligned with you on this.

    He has that X factor when it comes to the aesthetic/flair quality of how he plays. Ronaldinho, Baggio, Suarez are players who had it in spades.

    But he is 24 and (assuming he scores no more goals this season) is about to have a second season in the League of scoring 3 goals - those aren't awe-inspiring numbers.

    Perhaps he will be a late bloomer or perhaps he would come to life in the right set-up but I don't think he will be reaching the heights required. If he was an impact sub for us to run at tired legs on the counter it would be a fun watch, but I don't think he suddenly gives us 5-10 extra points per season or replaces one of the front three.

    But Firmino shouldnt ecen be starting. Not even for the u23.
    is it possible that there are some rows going on in the dressing room?
