I think this is looking like a massive signing. Same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey, Traore, Watkins and Buendia were injured for the start of our season. Essentially our front 4 in our 4 2 3 1 system. All injured To get to the top places in the league we need the squad depth and competition for places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point. We have to think big and try to roster as many top players as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Flits in and out of games doesn't he. I'm hoping a good pre season would see more consistency but we shouldn't sacrifice Emi's development for him IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Coutinho can spot through balls, but he's no Emi at spotting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 really, we need to find a way to play our best 2 players, Buendia and Couts should be the first names on the teamsheet....somehow. offload watkins and ings, buy a top striker, player couts and buendia each side or as roaming inside etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Doesnt run games and never has. But he is a moments player. Too much ability to not take him at 17 mill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffoman Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I didnt think he was great tonight. Had a couple of nice touches but most of the game passed him by. Didnt do a whole lot defensively and looked gassed fairly early int he second half. I like him but this wasnt the game to start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inter, Liverpool Bayern Munich and Barcelona player with 60 caps for Brazil isnt as good as someone who's had two seasons of top flight football? Behave yourself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
