Lord Willard Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 28-30 is their prime yet he scores 3 from open play last season? If that's his prime, no thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Links to Eduoard and Brewster suggest we maybe looking at options which we didn’t have last season with Jack floating across the front or just behind the strikers. It is possible to have zero wide forwards or wingers, going 3 at the back and the newly brought Cash and Targett our left back who is better going forward than defending provide width. i just don’t think we will do that. It’s 443 4231 or 451 which is really 443 but defending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mings is out we are left with a central defence of Hause and Konsa at best. If Kings and Konsa are both out we are playing Hause and Engels. That is terrifying. For me, we need to buy another centre back who is better than both Engels and Hause. What happened with the centre - half we were linked with last season, Christian or something. He was with one of the Turkish clubs, apparently, he was eager to come? Edited September 10, 2020 by sheepyvillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says it all! 6 goals and 4 assist in 26 games for a team that got relegated isn’t exactly the worst stats in the world. When a team isn’t playing very well every player suffers. He’s overall premier league record is 48 goals and 15 assists in 161 games. I think you are being harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of business to do still. A backup cb is last on my list of priorities and doesn't need to happen before the day start of the season.

Think he is defensively probably our best defender. But dwells on the ball to much. With his athleticism he doesn't need to be the best reader of the game, that is also something that comes with experience. Engels lacks not only pace but takes an age to turn. Positionally and passing he is very good. But this league needs athletes in defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 King wouldn’t be a bad signing, Rashica would be the better option. Surprised we’re not in for Buendina!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 If we had an original £100m to spend we surely now have around £58m left? £20m for Martinez leaves is with £38m. If we can get Rashica for £22m I think we should then try to sign Swift for £8m (cover for McGinn) and Luyindama for £8m (cover for DM and at CB). That would give us a team looking something like this until Wesley comes back: --------------------Martinez------------------ Cash----Konsa(RB)-------Mings-----Targett --------------Luiz---------McGinn----------- Rashica---------Swift---------Grealish --------------------Watkins------------------- Subs: Heaton, Luyindama(RCB/DM), Hause(LCB/LB), Hourihane, Trezeguet, Samatta, El Ghazi. When Wesley returns we could play him up front, Watkins out wide left and Grealish where Swift is relegating either Swift or McGinn to the bench.

I think you are being harsh. 3 goals from open play for a 28 year old established PL at his peak in the PL is poor. I think you are being too kind to him. 16m with 1 year left on him contract, I’ll pass. For that money I’d rather go for potential in Brewster for a bit extra who can score of if we are serious then Eduoard. But for me Brewster over King is a no brainer and the only choice was King, I’m not sure I’d do it for 16m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised we’re not in for Buendina!! Buendia has the best stats in terms of creating chances, Rashica I still can't see him wanting to come, King is the most possible of the three and I think being in a side with Watkins and Grealish might bring out the best in him.
