ReluctantNicko Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Talented but does not look like the most hard-working team with Foriestieri, Hooper and Abdi not really renowned for their tracking back and helping out in defence. A lot of luxury players in that line-up when Burnley showed that the way to promotion is hard work, discipline and supreme fitness/stamina. Boyd and Arfield are not wingers but work horses.

Beholder Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Sorry, I know I put Hooper in that team as well. You won't like that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I read the comments too similar to what they said about FF. Would be a great addition in that case I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Abdi play wide?? 15/16 - 2 goals in 31 wide (Prem) 14/15 - 9 goals in 33 central 13/14 - 2 goals in 13 central 12/13 - 12 goals in 41 central Played wide right in the Prem. Did his reduced goal tally come from not liking the position, or from it simply being such a massive step up in difficulty? Either way, his goal record and his versatility make him look a very attractive proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said the same about Martin Taylor! In all seriousness Abdi would be the best midfielder in the division should we sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about it, the more I think we may see Abdi playing in Kieran Lee's position, with Lee replacing Wallace We play with this asymmetric 4-4-2 shape with a wide left left man pushed wide, but then Wallace on the right sitting narrow. We know Lee can play wide (with some limited success) so I suspect we may see Abdi play in the Lee roll and then Lee replacing Wallace in that pseudo-wide roll on the right. Maybe. I really don't know at this stage, our attacking prowess is overwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Turpin Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just got messaged by a Watford fan who loves FF and Pudil: " In 30 years of watching Watford, I think Almen Abdi is the best I've seen play for us. We can no longer be friends. " Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times do we see Fernando chasing back, winning the ball alongside his fellow terriers, then immediately turning defence into attack. He is outstanding at tracking back.

Sorry but this is not quite correct. The main reason that FF has become a fans favourite is that he does track back, last season he would be dispossessing defenders on a regular basis and starting attacks, don't think you can have seen much of him with a comment like that. its the major difference between him and McGugan.

Boyd and Arfield are not wingers but work horses. a) Forestieri is one of the most hardworking players we have. b) There's more than one way to win promotion - just because Burnley did it one way doesn't mean to say everyone has to aim to emulate them.
