jacketspuds Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Doucoure, Ward-Prowse and a LW to replace El Ghazi. Then we’ll be in great shape to push on this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 In a two way battle with Spurs for Damsgaard according to Calciomercato and Sportswitness (whatever those last ones are) No secret I've wanted us to sign him for the last 9 months or so so I'd obviously be delighted if we managed to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign him we need to sell el ghazi, as how many wingers do we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This summer is as high as his valuation will ever be. Same with Nakamba, if we can shift him and bring in a improvement at CM now is the time to do so. He'll be way down the pecking order once Sanson & Luiz is back and then off to the AFCON for most of Jan-Feb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 the worst thing right now would be to panic buy a new midfield because of an off game against a newly promoted team in front of a packed home crowd. Most home teams won today, not a coincidence. Those players haven't turned to bad players out of nowhere, just a bad day at the office. Still got faith with the coaching setup and our scouts to find a gem if Lange & co. think we can get a good deal. Otherwise we go again against Newcastle looking a bit sharper, with Villa Park rocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Nakamba is not good enough for this level, we need to get rid of a fair few before the window shuts imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bailey and Watkins start this game and Targett doesn't look league 2 level out of nowhere we don't lose 3-1 It was 3-2 bro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we went 433 he looked much more comfortable. If we are going to play 433 a lot then he should be kept as a squad player. But if Dean wants to persist with 4231 he has to go, he has no business being in any formation where he has to play expansively. McGinn also looked far better in a 433 when he wasn't playing as a holder. Maybe we should stop putting square pegs in round holes Edited August 14, 2021 by RichiBoi11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I think we could do with a midfielder who can really dictate the play. Mcginn runs around a lot but doesn't have that in his locker and Nakamba is quite limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be a panic? We have McGinn, Luiz, Sanson, Hourihane, Nakamba and Ramsey. There isn't a pair in there that's good enough - so we need to play three. People are talking about us competing with Arsenal and Tottenham - how many of those six do you think would get into the matchday squads of those two sides? How many would be in Leeds squad, or in Everton's? We need a new midfield because we need a new midfield - I don't think that's a panic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanson is a bit of an unknown but he was brought in to be a starter I suspect. 12 months ago we were worried about losing Douglas Luiz to Man City so I expect people would have said he'd get into the Arsenal or Spurs team. John McGinn is class but gets absolutely slated on here for whatever reason, I'm not sure. I would like another in and then Hourihane sold, Ramsey + Chuk out on loan but if those 3 and Nakamba are our back ups going into the season then we'll have to adapt to that.
