No. One of the reasons Traore fell out of favour at Lyon was because they played wingbacks. I can’t see a 3-5-2 formation as it wouldn’t benefit Buendia or Bailey who have been brought in as our creators. We’ll see a 4-4-2 before we see a 3-5-2. Both aren’t good ideas though IMO. 4-3-3 is the way to go with our squad I feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Don't forget Konsa and Tuanzube can both play right back. Also Hayden-Kessler can be recalled from his loan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed some good players but not sure the areas that needed strengthening were focused on. Probably done enough to stand still, if we’re lucky.

Get him out on loan to the championship next year and the season after that, I’d be surprised if he wasn’t knocking on the door of the first team. He’s got everything it takes to be a top player in my opinion. Edited August 31, 2021 by Delphinho123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you think about the hunt for a central midfielder to take us to the next level, which appears as if it will be on hold for now, this is complete nonsense. Our biggest problem last season was creating chances without Jack Grealish in the team. We have sought to resolve that. Obviously, Jack Grealish leaving hasn't helped matters, but it is ludicrous to dismiss the work they have done in this area. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 2 right wingers and a striker+Young and Tuanzebe. Meh window. El Ghazi is our only natural left winger. Highly imbalanced team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned Greasy as a way of pointing out this hasn't been a 'smashing' window like you said because we've lost our best player. The hole he leaves is pretty much irreplaceable because of what he gave us, Ings, Buendia and Bailey will all contribute in their own way but won't bring what he did. But whether we'd sold him or not CM/DM was the area I and many others identified as a weakness last season and it hasn't been fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you we want him?

skarroki Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 frankly with how crazy shallow the squad is now, I'd welcome a couple of free agents coming in after the window closes to bolster our squad. At this rate we have, from what I can see, 21 players to register for our 25 man squad. I'd say bring back Elmo if Guilbert is off to France again but I didn't feel comfortable with him coming into the side last year. I don't know if I'd feel more comfortable with Tuanzebe or Konsa covering there either though, especially when one is a sick note and the other is currently injured. Cash hasn't looked that good end of last season and the start of this season so the last thing we need is no competition for his spot in the side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
