I guess it all really depends on where we are planning on playing Buendia. Because if we are playing him at the #10 role, that leaves us only 2 midfield roles for the rest of the squad -- If we go 4-3-3, Buendia drops into that midfield 3, and would play as the #10 in the 4-2-3-1. Plus McGinn is undroppable in Dean's eyes. If we're playing him on the wing, like Jack, then it would make more sense but we'd still have to figure out the #10 role with both Traore & Buendia being "key" signings over the last year for that right wing position.

from what I've read, it seems that Buendia was brought in as a Barkley replacement at that #10 role. this is also kind of where I'm at. I think we have to look at some departures before adding in certain positions

I also want to know where we would fit in another midfielder into our squad. Are we planning on playing Buendia in the Barkley role or will he work more out wide? All I see is that we have Nakamba, Luiz, Sanson, Ramsay, (and Carney if we count him for the senior team only next year) for one position in midfield -- seeing as McGinn is undroppable from Dean's point of view. Are we going to be able to shift one or two of these players or loan them out?

I know you've been pushing his train for a while, but maybe he'd just prefer playing CL over the PL? Who knows

just in case we want to add another Emi, Emiliano Marcondes is out of contract at Brentford

I signed them both on FM and they were amazing so sign them up Lange but I think he actually would be a pretty good pickup as a backup with potential (and wouldn't cost much)

I think it's after Pulisic's penalty (on the side of the Mexican fans) and he definitely didn't help in this matter.

Not entirely sure if there's a specific North American specific thread for international soccer but thought I'd post here. the US won the inaugural CONCACAF Nations League. Very intense game, but my question is at what point do Mexican fans get punished for their actions? Almost every time we play them, there's projectiles thrown at the players and last night Gio Reyna who needed medical attention as well as other players. I see that this has happened several times before.

All the sources!

Norwich's The Athletic correspondent, who's apparently very reliable.

think it's a combo of Lambert, the Hoolahan saga, and that they were champions in the Championship when we went up and we've completely surpassed them in the time since

think it might be time to head on over to PinkUn in a few... oh and maybe an arsenal forum as well

Definitely would believe this is the case, though as posted recently, we might be giving the transfer fee more up front as they will want to do it in installments

I took this post from a man city forum where they were talking about Grealish. A few posters after him said that we actually voted against it, but i think a lot of parts in it are pretty true

figured that i'd post this here. I've just been not really at it for a while. I'm about to finish up my university masters degree and it just feels so hollow. Almost this entire year I've just been stuck at home "working" on my classes. With things opening up over here in the states a bit more, I'm getting in better spirits but i don't really know. I haven't really been able to socialize for a long time (outside of posting on message boards) and i feel like I always have time for nothing but never do anything either. With the pandemic & me doing grad school stuff I moved back with my parents to save money (since I wasn't able to work as schools were closed). Mentally I feel fine outside of the ups and downs I get on occasion. I just am not really sure what the answer is. My younger sister moved to her own place maybe 7 months ago because she wanted to be on her own (with her roommate) and has been working from home since. since her roommate is gone for work the entire day, she is alone and has almost nothing really to do or socialize with. My cousins have similar stories where they just didn't feel like living in their own apartments etc and moved back in with family specifically with the socializing issues. I'm the only one I think that's hasn't gone to a professional for help and I don't know if one would be helpful or not. I've had some depression issues in the past but usually don't bring me down to the extremes. I also think that having a few of my mates not doing stuff is also being very unhelpful (one of them hasn't left his parents house since the pandemic began other than for groceries and getting vaccinated). It's probably just social and issues with making new mates & friends, but at this time I just don't see how I can do that. It just feels weird to be having social issues as a lad in his early twenties, but covid has changed a whole lot of stuff. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

the worst part is that Kaepernick (the one who started the knee) literally came up with it from talking with a Veteran.
