I think Dean is thinking Drinkwater will sit in with Nakamba and free Dougie to get further forward until McGinn gets back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it's an experienced and exceptional keeper is a big bonus for us. If he trains better than Nyland then it's competition for places and we win whoever is the better of the two being pushed to play better. Benteke a loan is the only way he should be coming back and even then it shouldn't be as our only striker. We should be looking at an attacker who can play either wide or up top and a number 9. Drinkwater, Reina and those two would be a great January for us. Read somewhere Reina only agreed to sign if 1st choice but I agree Nyland should keep the jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Slimani? Great google translate.... Quote Aston Villa would have already taken the temperature near the entourage of the Algerian striker. The English formation in lack of attackers, is in an emergency situation to station. A boon for the native of Algiers? The next few days promise to be decisive for the future of Islam Slimani on the Rock. He was another who struggled on his own up front in the PL.

He was another who struggled on his own up front in the PL. He's on a season-long loan at Monaco and playing very well so I can't see it happening unfortunately. He's far better than Wes FWIW.

Which mid is going to make all the tackles and interceptions as he's 1st in both for mids. 1.9 interceptions a game next best is McGinn with 0.9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even Conor with any 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect if he doesn’t start v Man City he will definitely start the next game. Also watching a bit of him on YouTube he seems more attacking/creative than I realised - I thought he was more a ballwinner but of course they had Kante for that...

The fact DS has started Lansbury in several games this season suggests he's been desperately looking for some maturity in the middle of the park (what Whelan offered last season) so I think Drinkwater will be straight in if he's match fit and sober. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're saying is, its all lining up for a big Benteke bid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
