If so I'd say raskin is a close second obviously “Officially” yes but he was scouted etc before. Had nothing to do with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post STEPPS BOY 73,923 Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 The difference with Raskin is as the CDM he sets the tempo for the way we should be playing. That’s what Davis was good at when he came back for his second spell. SANDYGER, Vanoli, trueblue 64 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what Davis was good at when he came back for his second spell. He plays as many sideways passes as Jack and Lundstram, the difference is he plays them with intent and pace whilst continuing to move into a different position to get it back and move it again. Dont want to look too much into a friendly and also the level of opposition but really felt both of them were poor in the 1st half, didn’t think the team set up helped tbh as at times we had Lundstram at RM almost in a 4-4-2.

But younger with more to develop and also probably a bit more attack minded that Davis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moody Blue Legend 61,482 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Absolutely the type of quality we need to get the title back. Need more of the same. PromDeAnglais 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beararse 6,375 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Raisin’s much taller than I thought. He looks quite small on the pitch but is 5’10” (unless somebody he been fucking about with Wikipedia 🤣) and is actually taller than Cantwell. Cracking ‘wee’ footballer.

HalifaxBear 209 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 So based on previous posts where we should've sold Alfie/Kent/Kamara at their peak. Would we all be happy to sell Raskin/Cantwell for £15m now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBOO72 4,372 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If both play to their maximum for the next few months I wouldn't be surprised at all if we're dealing with bids around 15 million for both come January.

Didn’t think either were particularly good yesterday tbh, although appreciate it’s just about getting ‘minutes in the legs’ I think we’ve a tendency to vastly overhype at times.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Raskin was good versus Newcastle, not so much yesterday as I felt he was sloppy in possession at times. But his ability, vision, forward thinking approach isnt in doubt. He's going to be some player when we get match sharpness around us and our strongest players starting each game. He'll be dominant midfield lynchpin we've been sadly lacking. Negri's lovechild 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
