thabucks Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) I Was thinking along the same lines ... x2 wingers/wing forwards and a CDM... Throwing names out there... I’d go for 2 out of Dwight McNeil, Buendia, Benrhama, Rashica, Calvin Stengs or Cendiz Under. And for CDM one from Tyler Adams Weston McKenzie, Konrad Laimer, Anguissa just to put some different random names out there.

Experienced international CB. Holding midfield. Believe it or not but Kalvin Phillips isn't the only guy in world football who plays in this position. Plenty of good ones out in europe. Another Gana type would really work in this team. Good wide player. Now this is the area where we'd probably have to be breaking our transfer record 30-40m. Need an upgrade on El Ghazi though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need to be in for quality players though this summer, we have had the squad fillers and now it’s time for quality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been getting worse since that opening game against Spurs The evidence is the sums of money the owners have put in. Not to mention the statements/interviews they have given. It mightn’t have worked out as well as hoped thus far, but have you forgotten the summer spend that the owners sanctioned? Or the groundwork being put in place around Villa Park? Nearly everything these owners have done has pointed at ambition, the only negative thus far was the January transfer window, and we can look to FFP for the likely restraint at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Perhaps we could make David Silva a cheeky contract offer? Why finish your days in say China, Japan, America or back in Spain, when you could be playing for us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I do agree that the coaching department seems to be lacking which does need to be put right. If our tactics on set pieces was right we wouldn’t be in the relegation zone now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus then we could grow our stature over here. Also on that note, I wonder what Chelsea is going to do with Pulisic/CHO/Mount and Gilmour breaking into the first team squad? They're being linked with Coutinho as well as having Ziyech coming in, so maybe one of those could be on the fringes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could give him a decent contract for a year, get a couple of other statement players from the continent and show ambition. We showed with Terry we can attract big players still. Although this is all up in the air with the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very unlikely to come through, even if we decided that we did want him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 It's all well and good having the funds to spend but without the necessary scouting or coaching you end up in a relegation battle. Sorry to say it but this season has been one unmitigated disaster! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
