Bunnski Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Guzan Hutton--Senderos--Vlaar--Cissokho The Rock Cleverley--Westwood--Delph Kozak--Benteke Solid team that will have goals in it and should be solid in defence also. We would also have great options on the bench and could switch to a number of different formations to suit whichever way a game is panning out Just no width whatsoever. When you've got Kozak and Benteke up front surely you want to be whipping crosses into them? Personally I'd try this.... Guzan Hutton--Senderos--Vlaar--Cissokho The Rock --Delph Nzogbia Cleverley Someone Benteke If we sign a winger that is actually decent at doing what wingers are supposed to do then I might change it around. Hutton and Cissokho have shown enough going forward to suggest that they will provide the width in my team, the midfield can sit deep or push up depending on what way the game is going. If Grealish makes the step up this year then I would find a place for him in the starting 11 also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper that's comfortably the best starting XI in the lower half. On paper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but is this not just part of the Vlaar deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but is this not just part of the Vlaar deal? If it were then they'd be giving us a good £15m plus Cleverley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm sure it's already been mentioned, but is this not just part of the Vlaar deal? I wouldn't have thought so.....think the press would have got wind of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I read he is 'only' on 30k a week so I doubt wages are the issue. Its more down to are other clubs sniffing around and he could just run down his contract at united and leave on a free next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd do well to get into Everton's starting eleven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Transfer News Live @DeadlineDayLive 19m Aston Villa's £7m move for Manchester United's Tom Cleverley could collapse because they can't afford his wages. (Source: Daily Express) must be rock solid news: it's a tweet of a newspaper article.....

terrythevillan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) With or without Cleverly we have the same problems of not having enough to unlock defences. There'll be less pressure than at United for sure, but to ask him to be the key to improving 1 of the worst home sides the Prem has ever seen is unfair on him. For me, has less ability than Delph (almost irreplaceable for us) and Westwood, who I don't see living up to his potential currently, so wouldn't be averse to seeing him challenged. Around £15m on Cleverly and Kozak instead of a quality, exciting AM and winger is, on the whole, sickening for me but what can we do...

P3te Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 lack of width in that formation The manager has shown he's got no interest in playing with width, so I wouldn't use lack of it against any proposed formations or lineups here to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
