Get him in there sitting alongside Kamara with Ramsey just in front Yep, Kamara as the #6, Bissouma and Ramsey as the #8's with Ramsey license to bomb forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year on the contract, £25mill surely the fee, he'll have a lot of suitors now that Kamara is off the market... I think we need Bissouma or another. Our current midfield just haven’t been good enough or strong enough. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Now we have Bouba then Bissouma is a no for me. 2 players in a 3 man midfield with v little goals and assists potential is not going to be good. It will be too far the other way in terms of balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazmonkey Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Emi Cash Chambers Mings Digne Kamara Bissouma Buendia Coutinho Ramsay Ings / ????? That would be a lot better than this year.....get it done Villa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Honestly, after Kamara, if we only signed Bissouma, I’d be content. We haven’t had it right in the middle of the pitch for years, even back in the Championship we were playing Hourihane as a DM. Kamara and Bissouma and I’m delighted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a hell of a double pivot, it could really transform our team if we can get Bissouma in as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well McGinn is great of course, but if we had a better player than him, then he’d have to fight for his place like every member of the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The why is SJM stating most games debate, is looking at it from the wrong angle. It says more about the weakness of the other contenders for central midfield. The teacher’s pet argument is a bit daft really. If he keeps his place once we have seriously good competition, then it’s a question that needs asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely is still those two play on either side of Kamara. But I would like a new CM too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need two defensive minded midfielders this summer for balance. I agree with you (in disagreeing). A solid midfield is essential to allow Digne and Cash to bomb forward, providing width. Kamara drops back and Mings plus ANO can then go slightly wide should we be hit on the counter. Second midfielder is then also ensuring that Kamara has support and isn't left exposed. With the third CM (probably JJ or McGinn) with more licence to join Coutinho and Emi in attack. The key will be to have a striker that can actually finish more chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyklip Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 @ender4 @7392craig @DaveAV1 So I think there are two dimensions here. There is the reality (IMO) one: McGinn is going to be in the first 11 next year for most games. It's just a description (based on a bit of speculation). Then there is the 2nd dimension, a prescriptive one: *should* McGinn be in the first 11. I was only making a point about the 1st dimension. I'm happy to bet! But if you want to know my view on the 2nd (I'm sure you all can't wait!): I am always a little surprised at how much stick McGinn gets on here. He has a well-rounded game.
