sir_gary_cahill Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 And we still have another four coming in... According to what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well Adebayor looks to be coming in. Then I would expect that we would be looking to sign a CB, RB and a winger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) We've gone from buying bargain bucket players to potentially very good, very very good players. Yes they will need time to find their feet, but this will bean exciting journey.

PaulC Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sorry I don't get why people keep putting Sinclair in the team. Surely with the new signings he's a squad player at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yes I think Grealish should be a starter and I don't think he's signed Ayew to sit on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 As i read somewhere else it's a bit like BFR first season after selling Platt, and totally ripping up a side that has just come 17th. As long as we end up 7th and then 2nd I will be happy. And in the first game of that season 91/92 we played Sheffield Wednesday (BFR having just left them). SW fans really laid into BFR as a "Judas". He bought in nine new players, 6 made their debut. We were 2-0 down till the 42nd, the SW fans were having a field day and we were playing like a bunch of misfits. Then Cyrille Regis pulled one back just before the end of the half. In the 2nd we played out of our skins with Paul Mortimer equalising and Dalian Atkinson getting the winner. So 3 of our new players scored!! Great game! Would accept same result against Bournemouth!! Wouldn't be great for the nerves though! Mortimer should have scored tbf but Atkinson mopped up the pieces. Staunton ftw on his debut Luna stylee :D Where's your Ronny gone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1KdG5FmIls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain-from-Texas Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I don't see any scenario in which we play only Gueye and Veretout in the middle. We bought Gueye to play box-to-box, not to sit back. Westwood will be in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcohen Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Agreed. Listen to sherwoods interview as well. He said Westwood's spot is safe pretty much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If no one else signed within the week against Bournemouth I reckon we'll line up: Bunn Hutton (crespo if fit), Richards, Clark, Amavi Gueye Westwood Veretoute Ayew Gestede Sinclair Bench Gabby, Cole, Baker, Hutton (if crespo starts), Gil, Grealish, Guzan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted August 1, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think if it's going to be three in the middle, with Westwood starting, that's probably bad news for Grealish. He's not as effective asa wide man as he is when he play's behind a single striker as the central man in a 4-2-3-1. I personally think 4-2-3-1 suits us best given the players we have, we played it a lot last season under Sherwood and I think it'll work for us. However, we haven't really used it in pre-season and quite frankly, I haven't got a clue how he'll line us up this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Sinclair and Gil in a lot of teams - back ups for Ayew and Grealish those two I'd have thought. I don't think Grealish will make Saturday. Ayew will get his chance although personally, I think Gil will struggle for Saturday as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 If no one else signed within the week against Bournemouth I reckon we'll line up: Bunn Hutton (crespo if fit), Richards, Clark, Amavi Gueye Westwood Veretoute Ayew Gestede Sinclair Bench Gabby, Cole, Baker, Hutton (if crespo starts), Gil, Grealish, Guzan I'd go with that, with the exception of Hutton. I'd play Bacuna, purely for his crossing ability. With a fit Grealish, I would probably have gone for him ahead of Ayew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieZ Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) What are the green, yellow, and red lines? Is that who's allowed to pass to whom? Like, green—go, yellow—if you discuss it beforehand and the manager approves it, red—absolutely not. Because if it is, we're going to have some problems getting the ball out of our half.
