    I didn’t watch him, but this kind of signings are probably the best we do. I don’t think many will be prepared to spend to get him, his wages would be reasonable. If he success then we have done really well, if he failed he’ll not be harder to ship than some if the old players. Some say only certain criteria can improve us, while I agree, but only if it includes young players with potential. Rogers for example, turning to be one of the most exciting players in the league lately. Ramsey raised his profile as well. We got McGinn while we were in Championship (yet we miss him when we’re challenging for top 4. Luiz and Konsa were signed but a team fighting for relegation. It’s a squad game, let’s get more of: Konsa, Luiz, McGinn, Rogers and the likes of Martinez. Then have a look at some free signings wether like Kamara or even Youri. The good thing, is that we have a good squad which should help young/new players. While not having to throw them and force them find their way which might affect the team (apart from Rogers who benefited him).

    Last season I wanted ECL more than EL because of the chances of winning it. But who’s to say we’ll win? Now we’re almost there, but even if we went to the final nothing is guaranteed. For me I’d say winning Europa is better than getting out from the first stage in CL (if it was the old way I’d look at entering CL then get 3rd and join Europa). However, nothing is guaranteed, so getting to CL is a guaranteed success, good financially, showing the project to everyone. Especially if we can win ECL this season, that would do for trophies for now.

    All have benefited, Leicester just didn’t have the consistency, had they qualified two times they were near, it would’ve been different. Spurs has been a top 6 club just because they featured a lot there, otherwise they’ve won nothing. Newcastle has been helped financially and players/people are recognizing them as a project going forward.

    Martinez/Olsen Cash/Kosta Konsa/Carlos Torres/Mings Dinge/Moreno Kamara/? McGinn/Luiz/Youri Diaby/Bailey Rogers/Ramsey/Buendia Watkins/Duran Those are probably the main players we’ll have, then you got: Tim, Archer and whoever from the kids. For me, it might need another a left defender who can do what Torres does (I’d like to find someone like Konsa when we got him). Then a DM who plays good football, won’t be easy to find. But here we need a starter as Kamara won’t be back anytime soon. I think those are the main two signings. Then you’ve got a right back to upgrade on Cash, or a left if we’re looking at selling Dinge. I won’t be very keen on getting if Watkins and Duran were fit, but if Archer wasn’t sold I might keep him until winter if needed. I think with Ramsey and Buendia back while having Rogers, I’m not sure if getting a right winger would be particularly good thing. However Emery knows who’ll add to the system.

    I think what our players experienced is much bigger than many, it grew their characters aswell. McGinn (our captain) and Mings, they’ve been in a big turn around season in promotion, Luiz and Konsa almost relegated with us and all saw us through. Then Martinez matured with us until he won Argentina things they haven’t won for around 30 years. With Watkins improving his whole game. Then you got Bailey who was up and down until he beaten his non confidence to become a player every team fear. Both Kamara and Torres had CL experiences. Our captain promoted with the team, then fought not to relegate, then had a good team for Grealish to go and Gerrard to mess things up. Then he comes back stronger to lead the team back to Europe (in a season where we failed to even score well), many players matured through that journey. I guess character wise we’re one of the best. Even new players are getting that mentality, ofcourse Emery is helping much.

    I was just come to write we want more Rogers signings If we can find one or two we’d have done really well.
  7. abdulaziz1
    It shows what squad game is all about. Some games we might not need to begin both Kamara or Luiz, but both are our best CM’s. I think Emery and the players are understanding their qualities more, and with much choices, I think Emery would rotate even more than this season.
  8. abdulaziz1
    The goal was great. Since I watched him against Wolves, I knew he’d add a lot to the team. Just didn’t know how soon will he do that, or when will Emery give him a proper chance. Now everyone will start wanting him to start each game.
  9. abdulaziz1
    Great win and performance, the team has character, especially coming from behind. Now a needed rest for the team, Luiz getting back would be huge, Chelsea will be a tough team to play. Arsenal will be tired playing Spurs, we can’t fully rely on them, although hopefully Arsenal could win that. Last game against Chelsea was bad, let’s hope Emery can read them better this time. A win with Spurs losing could give alus a breathing space to focus on Europe.
  10. abdulaziz1
    I don’t think anyone is taking it for granted, actually most know it’s going to be really tough with their form and our players being tired. That’s why playing the likes of Tim can help on that matter.
  11. abdulaziz1
    I’m not bothered to think if he’ll be sold or not, I think if he plays against Bournemouth and help us win, and somehow help another win, then that would worth a full season from him, now when it’s getting tougher. These 7/8 games, are equivalent to a full season really. The amount of pressure (Emery called it opportunity rather than pressure) but anyway, the situation is getting tougher and our weakest link is DM.
  12. abdulaziz1
    He helped us a lot in the last two months, kept improving.
  13. abdulaziz1
    We won’t know what Arsenal does against Spurs, losing next two would give the a huge boost before they play same number of games as us. Thinking of all outcomes is scary, but if we win it would be totally different and interesting.
  14. abdulaziz1
    The more I think about Bournemouth, the more stress I get, possibly the fact Spurs aren’t playing. We have to rotate at this game, we can’t just play the usual team. I think our squad could handle this game at home, with some players coming second half. Winning this would give us a huge confidence and rest before Spurs play, then playing a tough match against Chelsea. Really hope we could grind the win, not sure at all how, but hopefully we do.
  15. abdulaziz1
    Exactly, him, Diaby, Bailey, Zaniolo (if fit), Duran, Carlos and Tim all can be good to start Sunday (atleast rotate some of them). I don’t think our regular starters will be able to keep their performances this high after a tough last week. Without Moreno we can’t do anything regarding left back as well so we have to rotate other areas.
  16. abdulaziz1
    Still long season, another 7 games (hopefully become 8 with winning the final in Athens). All in a short space of time. Hopefully he’s available for Sunday, wether start or from bench, we just need everyone fit.
  17. abdulaziz1
    It’s not the same Leverkusen I’d assume. I don’t think clubs will be able to buy their players easily. They will probably give it a try before trying to sell. However they might sell from their squad.
  18. abdulaziz1
    His game is different to Bailey, by the time I think he’ll improve, but he will never do what Bailey does, however he’ll be more direct and add another dimension to the team. For now hopefully everyone can show his worth by helping us achieving our goals in the next few games. Same as last year, we’ve focused on results, performances came from preseason onwards.
  19. abdulaziz1
    One would hope that teams going out of Europe will shift their focus to the league, which can hopefully help them winning against Spurs.
  20. abdulaziz1
    That Arsenal win was massive, I’m already nervous right now, let alone us not winning that. I’m not sure how we’ll approach Bournemouth game. After Lille we’ll need some rotation. Carlos? Or keep him for Chelsea? Then you’ve got Tim, Duran. Who else? Not sure. Rogers, Diaby and Bailey didn’t have full matches. Not sure what happened with Zaniolo. Not much to choose from to be honest. Shall we start Watkins? It’s getting too much for him. Tough game coming in our race, hopefully we win it.
  21. abdulaziz1
    I don’t anyone saw him putting these performances this fast. The good thing as I mentioned before is that he’s improving while we’re being in a real tough period. Yes players not available helped him getting chances, but at the same time most of the team are getting tired, and not have Kamara is making controlling games tougher. So for Rogers to grow in the PL, I think we might have a real good player soon enough. Last season no one saw what Moreno would add but he helped us getting to Europe. Hopefully Rogers helps us to qualify to CL and win the Conference.
  22. abdulaziz1
    Hopefully 5th gets CL from this weekend, while we go through against Lille. I guess that would help in our performances and players who need more confidence such as Diaby. The pressure should decrease but with us still playing for 4th, without it being the CL qualifier.
  23. abdulaziz1
    I don’t agree on selling him. We’ll be short in that area. Lenglet is our 5th CB and we’ve started him for months. Chambers (6th) played with him as well. If we hopefully went to CL, we’d definitely need his quality as we saw this season, things get tougher. Even for Europa, games will be more with the new way. Add to that cup runs..etc Although I agree on getting young CB, possibly the new Konsa. Even during those days we bought Konsa, Mings, Engels and Hause at one summer window.
  24. abdulaziz1
    To be honest I’m more worried right now about Lille and the Conference than 4th. That goal Lille scored made it more tough. But after Arsenal result and Luiz rest, we might be more fresh going into that game with hopefully more confidence. Also some important games in the next few days.
  25. abdulaziz1
    If we won against Lille and hopefully 5th secured for PL, I think that would make it interesting. I don’t think Emery will surrender 4th, but the priority will be the Conference. However, it would be a great way to start playing Duran, Tim, Kellyman and Kesler. Ofcourse Rodgers should have more time with less pressure games to continue improving. We’ll need a bigger squad next season. Raising values for players or evaluating them would be very beneficial for us. However, still tough European games could see the other way round. I’m glad we won, put us in a very good position. Which shall make our players fully focused on Lille. As someone saud, what happened against Brentford could turn to be the best thing to happen, especially if we don’t collapse and lose at Lille. We need to prevent what happened against Brentford to happen again.
