I can’t say I know much about him Liz but I guess it’s defensively where we most need strengthening. In that respect then I guess he fits the bill.

He's also hit a fantastic long ball pass across the park. Does it a lot and it appears to be very accurate from the clips I've seen.
Found this video. He looks pretty solid to me in this...

From that video clip, I can see he has great vision and passes the ball quickly. He also looks physical and doesn’t get pushed off the ball.

One thing is for sure with those Two signings we seem to have definitely added a fair bit of strength and steel to the team, kipre is a proper unit and thus Matusiwa guy also looks very strong. Ashton wasn't joking when he said about looking for a different type of player, our defence was bullied all too often and looked pretty lightweight so I'm happy with the change there.

Apparently he has a £35m relegation release clause in his contract. Agent knew what he was doing getting that written into his contract did he….
What for Johnson, you’re having a laugh Liz

Definitely a much more inspiring signing than Kipre - although a defensive midfielder he moves the ball quickly and has excellent vision and passing.

Translates
Marcel Ruíz could fulfil his European dream
Ipswich Town has sent a formal offer for Marcel Ruiz of 10MDD to Toluca
Borussia Mönchengladbach and Nice have asked about Marcel Ruíz (24) however the only one who has sent an offer is the English club
Toluca analyses the offer and will give an answer this week in order to speed up the movement
Im quite excited even though I have no idea about him!

Yeah weird one, I’d keep him for his leadership qualities.
Also surely Derby wouldn’t offer what he is on here, even if they offered two year deal. Surely it’s worth him staying here - he is settled etc, or going for a big salary to the UAE if that was an option.
IMO him and the new Dutch guy are one position and then cam and another new cm are the other, so Taylor is the surplus one

I rrally dont rate Taylor. He's never really stepped up has he. Ole Varry Fry did a number on us again!

I think Taylor in a different role could be useful in the Championship. Against lesser defences, he may be get a few long shots on goal. That goal he scored against Wolves was superb. I wouldn’t lose sleep if he leaves though.
Morsy is a tough one. If he’d be willing to play a different role as a sub, I think he would be useful later on in games, and his leadership would still benefit the squad.
I do think it’s maybe time to cash in on Omari while we can. He may excel at a PL club, but I’m not sure he will with us.
Marcel Ruiz is 24 and he’s beginning to get noticed. Under KM’s tutelage Ruiz could be a bargain at 10mil.
