God i hope we can keep hold him next season, one of...if not ''the'' most consistent players in the team last season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 273 Posted July 3, 2014 I am with GJP - cant see him being here come the start of the season, esp as he has more than done his stint in the champs, but as with Snodgrass a large enough fee will see him go. I dont think it will be as large as snoddys but anything over £6m if the player wants to go will probably be enough. Garrido is a more than adequate starter, slower admittedly and not so strong in the air but better positionally (olsson used his pace on several occassions to save himself) and garrido is far better with the ball. Having both (as both PL standard) is preferable but one of them more than adequate in the champs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grefstad 0 Posted July 3, 2014 Imho Garrido is not good enough if Olsson goes.Not got enough pace, not supporting the winger enough, and certainly weaker defensively with lack of height and pace.Also very ring-rusty after a season on the sidelines.Given Adams'' preference of playing attacking footie in a 4-3-3 formation (judging by his summer buys so far), I would expect us to invest in pace in the back four.I would rather see us getting two new leftbacks (young, with pace, and hungry) and sell both Garrido and Olsson (providing Olsson goes, that is).

I still think they will be back for Olsson, but probably won''t want to spend big money on him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 273 Posted July 3, 2014 Surprised that he is still there; he played as many games at right back as left for them last season, with his last left back game back in Jan. Cant think they will be relying on him to be honest. A long way to go in this window yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molly Windley 76 Posted July 3, 2014 If they are touting a £12 million figure for Ben Davies from Swansea to Spurs and Luke Shaw was £27 million, then what price do we put on Olsson?Both these have potential but neither as far as Im concerned are the real deal as yet.Bids of £4 million for Olsson look way off the mark to me.
