Jakob Breum

He's been playing as an attacking midfielder since last season and continued that into this season. He is not a winger.

 

He was a winger before he went to Holland and when he first arrived but you are right his good form has all come as an attacking midfielder.

 

His entire first season for Go Ahead he played as a winger. Just means he’s comfortable out there which is important for us, having players that can fill these spaces on the field.

 

He’s perfectly capable of being on the wing. Last season was the first time he moved more central.

That doesn’t mean he’s “not a winger”. He’s clearly a fluid attacking player who can play cental or wide. Even as an Attacking Mid last season you see him constantly taking up those positions out wide. We were not signing him to play in a midfield 3 that’s for sure.

You’ve been pedantic and tried correcting someone who didn’t need correcting, “wind your neck in”.

 

Being comfortable out there is grand but I hope if he was being bought we'd be playing him through the middle which is his best position, as is Nygren. It's more a reflection on our recruitment that we had to play him off the right in two crucial games to no success.

Why sign an attacking midfielder to play him on the wing?

I'm not being pedantic, I'm being pragmatic. You really need to develop a tougher skin and stop lashing out at people who have a different view on things to you. It's ok to disagree.

 

What is it I disagree with exactly?

I’m telling you players are capable of having multiple positions.

My issue is not your views, my issue is your wee sly digs at others posters over the smallest details. It’s boring now.

A guy who once cried for the Mods now suggests people have thicker skin. Wild.

 

You think he's a winger. I don't.

There's no need to shower someone with abuse because you don't agree. I told you countless times before. Trying to export yourself as a tough guy on the Internet is a tragic persona. Grow up. If we disagree, we disagree - there's no need for you to have an emotional breakdown anytime I post an opinion.

Pick your rattle up off the ground and move on.

 

This is not a dig and I'm struggling how to comprehend how you can take it as one.


Breum isn't a winger, I think most people would agree and I just voiced my opinion that the reason we paid £5.2m for Tounetki and walked away from Breum for a similar fee is likely the fact that Tounetki is an out and out winger and Breum is an attacking midfielder.

You are so irrational and catty anytime I dare voice a perfectly reasonable and valid opinion. There was no need for you to step in there and start acting like a Karen because I made a post in a very civil and cordial manner than Breum isn't a winger. The only reason you did is because you think it's acceptable at this point to stalk me round from thread to thread and insult and abuse me when I voice an opinion.

It's pathetic stuff.

 

Yawn.

 

Apology accepted.

 

You’re such a weird *

 

You display Lawwell/Nicholson levels of arrogance and incompetence. Sorry is the word you are looking for rather than calling people *. Do you feel like a tough guy?

 

Stop embarrassing yourself.

 

And the same website has him listed as an attacking midfielder.

23 of his last 27 league appearances have been centrally and that has culminated in his best form so it looks like he was played out of position for most of his career to date - similar to Nygren who Rodgers views as a central player too despite him having played a lot of his football out wide - he's not a winger.


Scales has played a lot of his football at left back but he's definitely a centre back.

 

Scales has played 23 games at LB

* me it’s clear as day he’d of been playing wide for us. Majority of his career has been played on the wing. Majority of outlets reported him as a winger. He’d of suited that for us due to being small and not physical.

Nygrens best spells previously have also came at RW. So there’s the logic about form dictating position out the window.

It’s possible to have more than 1 position, doesn’t mean he’s “out of position”. Having fluidity in this system is essential, he’d find himself on either wing and central at times.

Him and Tounekti might be very different players but they were absolutely on the same list.

Nothing worse than a smart * cutting about constantly trying to correct people on tiny details.

 

As a senior pro Breum has scored 11 goals and had 6 assists in around 29 games as an attacking midfielder. A better than 1 in 2 scoring contribution.

As a left or very occasional right winger he has about 3 goals and 4 assists in 42 games as a winger. A close to 1 in 6 scoring contribution.

He has been playing as an attacking midfielder since a month in to last season and has started this one as a central player.

So yes he can play on the wing but he was largely ineffective. I don’t doubt our incompetent recruitment may have had him and Tounekti being on the same list, however, he would be more like a Hatate replacement than a wing option.

 

Nope. I think if they were on the same list we would have got the Breum deal done. We paid the fee for Tounekti because he was an out and out winger not a guy who could play on the wing but was far more effective through the middle.

You seem to get emotional and hostile when people challenge views or disagree with you. Drop the ego, it's certainly doesn't benefit you.

Scales very much started his career at left back. He played there predominantly for Shamrock Rovers and Ireland u21s, doesn't mean he's a left back as we all know he's a far better centre back and that's how Ange used him in his first season here also.

As I said many times to you, it's ok for us to disagree and not share the same opinion. You don't have to lose the plot everytime someone has a different take to you
