    I reckon we can develop Rogers into that role FWIW
  2. the_sun_never_sets
    Henderson?
  3. the_sun_never_sets
    I reckon he might be back up if we sell Cash and then we'll sign someone at their peak but we'll see!
  4. the_sun_never_sets
    Who would we sell / let go to free up space in the squad? In priority order probably... Chambers, Olsen, Donk, Cash (replace), Lenglet (replace), Kesler maybe (though ive always liked him) I'd keep Tim for another season.
  5. the_sun_never_sets
    I'd honestly be happy if we signed a top starting right back and noone else. With injuries returning and youngsters coming through we have some squad developing!
  6. the_sun_never_sets
    dark horse for the euro squad?
  7. the_sun_never_sets
    Thats fair. I was thinking he's a known quantity on the bench but equally - if selling is required to balance the books - that makes sense. Could add Digne to that equation give age/salary (despite being excellent this year)
  8. the_sun_never_sets
    No disrspect to them but we need to work on the basis that Lille would be one of the weaker standard of teams if we qualified for the CL....and we were pretty evenly matched last week. Need to plan for that. I think RB is our clear priority. Cash becomes backup. Squad would be v healthy then. After that just avoiding as many injuries would strengthen us. Plus replacing anyone we sell.

    Could start with a 5 3 2 here for solidity and control to quieten down the atmosphere....and then pivot into a 433 after 60 mins. But tbh ill trust whatever Emery goes with. Cash konsa Carlos torres moreno Mcginn Luiz tielemans Bailey Watkins

    On the plus side, in the battle for 5th Chelsea and United dropped points too. Interestingly United, Newcastle and Chelsea all have to play each other so actually the points total to secure 5th is probably not that far off... 64 points maybe. 4 points out of the next 3 games and I think we're fine to only look up and not down.

    Some of the strongest teams in the tournament lost their first legs (at home in some cases). So a draw away to Ajax is creditable with a rotated team. Beat spurs and win the second leg and it will be viewed as brilliant management.

    Hard to know how to approach this one with the Tootenham game looming. Ideally we'd go there and get a big win to enable us to rotate for the second leg... but I'd be inclined to prioritise the Tottenham game.. Maybe a good game for Kesler and Tim to start? Something like: Martinez Kesler Konsa Lenglet Digne Tim Mcginn Tielemans Diaby Watkins Zaniolo/Rogers
  13. the_sun_never_sets
    Agree!
  14. the_sun_never_sets
    Buy Frimpong Sell Cash and Digne if necessary.... And I think that leaves us with a very solid, balanced squad overall. After that we can just buy youngsters and replacements for players we do sell
  15. the_sun_never_sets
    We lost 3 games in a row last Feb right? Then Emery tweaked a few things and we finished the season strongly. Out if interest how many points did we get in the last 14 games of last season? If we replicate that form I'm sure we'd get close to a total for 4th?
  16. the_sun_never_sets
    I think we'll sell Digne and Cash to bring Frimpong in...and I'd be OK with that
  17. the_sun_never_sets
    I like this deal. Feels Brighton-esque
  18. the_sun_never_sets
    From 1998 when me memory starts : Laursen, Benteke (for single handedly keeping us up for a while / some fantastic goals), Angel (for global exposure), Martinez (ditto but more so), Barry, Grealish (for keeping us up and the £100M), Milner, Yorke, Ashley Young, McGinn
  19. the_sun_never_sets
    One of our most important players when playing teams who set up to defend. Pins the opposition back by making overlapping/progressive runs on the right...and creates space by hugging the touchline. Without him we spend a lot of time just playing in front of a low block
  20. the_sun_never_sets
    Buendia really has been atrocious today
  21. the_sun_never_sets
    I'd 100% take Kyle Walker if we could get him for a reasonable price. Him and Cash as options as defensive RB is solid. Sign a youngster in that position too as the long term project. There's some good business to be had this summer from free agents and the Chelsea zoo. Could be some bargains. I'd take Pulisic for example...
  22. the_sun_never_sets
    If we were to sell Martinez for huge amounts (doubt we will) I'd go for Meslier from Leeds. Quality and only 23 don't think we need a revolution in the summer... In: Pau Torres and Guendouzi + 2 inside forwards with pace I reckon some of our loanees will come into the fold too... principally Iroegbunam
  23. the_sun_never_sets
    Since 96/97 : Laursen (when fit) Benteke (that one season where he was creating goals out of nothing) Jack Ashley (as opposed to Luke) Young Martinez Honorable mention : Mellberg And I thought Bouma was a bit of a unsung hero, if only he wasn't injured all the time
  24. the_sun_never_sets
    A realistic positive outcome for the window: Sell Sanson, Ings and Nakamba for c£25M. Guilbert on a free Buy Thuram and Delofeu for about the same amount I see Alex Scott is being mooted as available for £10M from Bristol City - good bargain that. Gives us a platform for the summer to go big. Sell Konsa/Chambers, McGinn and Coutinho and bring in Pau Torres and Yerry Pino
  25. the_sun_never_sets
    have a feeling this will be a great game and a high scoring draw 3-3 or something. Makes no sense as Newcastle arent conceding but a strong gut feel so we'll probably win 1 - 0
