Brunners 7,952 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 1 minute ago, TLF10 said: Anyone fill me in on Matt Crooks please? What is his natural position? Who is he similar to in this league? I had him down as an unorthodox type no.10 but my limited internet search has him down as a defensive midfielder. Thanks in advance. He's a big, physical player that can play as a CM, a 10 or up top - IIRC he played about a 3rd of his games in each position last year. He was a real handful when we played vs them - and then in the 2nd game got sent off for the very soft elbow. He would be a player NW can move throughout the line up, should be able to chip in with probs 10+ goals/assists in a good year. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He's a tall central midfielder, and that's really all you need to know because it's the only reason we are signing him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That would employ that the midfielders actually touches the ball and not just looks at it while it sails over them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Thanks @Brunners and @Changing Times A midfield 3 of one of Howson/Morsy sitting and Crooks and Payero slightly ahead of them possibly beckons. Link to post Share on other sites

People do realise that Payero plays midfield like McNair does? He isn't a sublime number 10, dicky-dancing his way into our hearts like the little fella. He's about perspiration rather than inspiration, at least according to that wyscout thing (I assume they are accurate otherwise it would be pretty useless). Link to post Share on other sites

None of the ITK types on here managed to mention it, despite all posting over the last few days. Mind, they also didn't get Paterson either. They have been pretty spot on telling us things that aren't happening though 🤺 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I love the ITK info like everyone does but my personal opinion is that info has been kept very quiet this summer, don’t think anyone mentioned uche and peltier deals. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
