JPB, throw watkins in there, maybe buendia and young trez would be 1st out the door which im sure most of us wouldnt argue with, young is only here for 1 year and covers LB, watkins should be CF, buendia CM, puts us down to 4 wide men 1 of which is a youngster, i dont think its that bad wanting the money more than the player is the only reason we sell traore could be a bit of playing the game from gerrard to see who reacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but if we're basing it on a theoretical possibility that he isn't ever going to regain fitness then we don't need to worry about selling him because nobody will buy him until he's fit again. Imo if he's fit he's useful and we should keep him and if he's not then nobody will buy him. 2 minutes ago, sne said: Does Traore work in a high press system? I think anyone can work in a high press system as long as the fitness coaching is up to snuff. I have a feeling we'll see the best of Traore under a stricter manager like Gerrard.

Hopefully, he was hit and miss for Lyon under Genesio in a attacking 4-3-3 but can't say I know much about how Genesio works behind the scenes.

Me neither but first season under him BT got 18 goals 7 assists, that would suit us just fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I'd flog AEG and Trez - Traore is better. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could afford him it's a no brainer. He's so much better than anyone we have for that role and he should be at that cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not going to be on any clubs radar at this time. Imagine splashing 40 million on a guy you might have to sack soon.

I assume that they were playing a high press system as it is "their way". Transfermarkt has 13 goals in 39 games. I will however confess to never having watched that side play.

Tomaszk Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Sosa more of a winger than a left back I thought? God I'd love a big massive fecker powerhouse at left back. We could do with some size in the team I think, quite a few main men that aren't much use at set-pieces - always tricky defending them IMO.

He must scuff at least a third of his bunts forward. Up for it Burnley away with big Korts coming in in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It sounds like Lingard is making himself available. I was quite impressed with his time at Spam last season. Worth considering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
