Oh... Yeah - but the club was total shambles beneath first team level. We had no settled spine in the team and it all hinged on a load of overseas youngsters hitting the ground running. Only Bailey doesn't have PL experience this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Just now, Lichfield Dean said: There's a point here though. As we saw then, and more recently with Fulham, you have to be careful how you do this. Just slamming a load of new players onto the pitch and telling them to play as a team isn't going to work. Or at least it has a lot of potential to go horribly wrong. Dean Smith has a lot of work to do now. Wouldn't surprise me if we struggle the first half of the season until everything starts to click. This is true, although I fully trust those in charge know what they're doing. We'll be after people based on how they fit into the system and what they're like in the dressing room too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I've got a feeling that we will sign either Maddison or Aouar whichever one Arsenal don't sign. Or if we're planning on playing Buendia centrally then someone like Doku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relative struggle maybe. I don't see us racking up back to back defeats week in week out. Most likely we might be a bit inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have full faith in the club now as its run properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Our “core” team hasn’t changed much. Still have Mings etc as leaders on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen in more than a few places that Leicester want to offload Maddison because of bad attitude and generally disliked in the dressing room. If true I wouldn't touch him and let Arsenal pay over the odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I think there’s a fair few options Am/Lw at the moment (my money would be on Nkunku first with Kamada or Cherki second). Aouar would be another good shout….would piss Arsenal off as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2021 It's a good time to have money to spend. There will be a lot of teams who need to balance their books due to Covid. Players may be available who weren't before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
