Gift Orban

[Lemonade Money]

Is that the bloke from Friends?

More likely than a bloke with friends.

He did say the Kane deal was happening when everyone else said it wasn't and he posted before the press or the other usual touts. Not saying he's accurate but he was with the Kane info.

What am I doing I dont normally even bother with ITK. I just wait until the deal is done. [emoji28]

Nah, your balls deep now
Your in it to win it
If he don’t join we know you had something to do with it

So essentially you are ITK about ITK's ... Good work, I'm impressed

Argie fella not in the match day squad, leaving us with a CF shaped hole on the bench - could be a goer this one.

Ange said he wouldn't be involved for a while.

Yeah, that suggests he's one for the future rather than ready to be a member of matchday squads/competition for a starting place.

 

[DubSpur]

Hopefully, this gets done, really need an alternative off the bench for Richy or even as a starter if he hits the ground running

 

[The Journeyman]

Yes, today really showed need for Gift option, even if it’s off the bench.

We had Solomon and Porro on the bench. It seemed a tactical decision to use Perisic instead and settle for the draw

Persic is historically a forward, a very good one long before a WB so I doubt it was settling for a draw.

It removed all our threat on that side, but added a bit more control higher up

Did you not see the lack of threat from Son? He literally got the ball into advanced areas more in 10 mins than Son.

There was zero threat on that side before Persic came on. Son was poor and played everything backwards. Perisic was much more positive in his play.

I doubt the intention was for nothing to come of it. Perisic has a fantastic cross on him and we were clamping in their own half and box at times. Bringing on a pin point crosser makes a lot of sense in that situation. It didn't work, but it wasn't for a lack of trying.

We still have of footballs truly world class left footed players in Perisic if he is used to his strengths. He is still supremely fit and might not be as quick as he once was but his legs are far from gone, yet I would say he is no longer able to fulfil a FB role he probably should never have been asked to be in at 33. He still managed 8 assists last year in what was a poor season.

It was a sound decision and could be a useful option off the bench this season

Orban played left mid/wing for Gent today in a 1-3 win by the looks of it, bit strange considering how prolific he's been for them recently as a striker.

Odd
Does show some flexibility

Settle for a draw
Your off you head
Ange doesn’t settle for anything

This kid could be to soccer what Carlos Alcaraz has become for tennis - highly talented and a good bloke too
