YLN Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It seems like a bit of a regressive step. I thought we were done with 'Bent..' players. It's a very Lambertesque move 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a window, boy have we moved on, there are some very serious people at this club. We are literally the story of the division at the moment (shame about the middling form). Maybe the second half of the season will be our emergence. Last season we were a 2 man team - Grealish & Martinez. This season, we reinvested the Jack money and then some in quality throughout the squad... Buendia, Ings, Bailey, Coutinho, Digne, Olsen, Bentancur, & possibly Tarkowski... Martinez Cash - Tarkowski - Mings - Digne McGinn - Bentancur - Douglas Luiz Buendia - Coutinho Watkins Bench: Olsen Kessler-Hayden Konsa/Hause Targett/Young Ramsey/Sanson Bailey/Carney Ings Just look at that bench... Last season we had El Ghazi, Davis, Nakamba, Elmo, & Trezeguet on the bench... Now, we have genuine depth/competition for places and plenty of players who can be impact subs/rotation players.

Why list Tarkowski which isn't happening based on any reports and Konsa is arguably our best CB. Bentancur hasn't happened. Traore left out again vs Bailey who's not looked that amazing Edited January 25, 2022 by Kiwivillan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSvillain Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Be interesting to see what happens as Bissouma, Bentancur and Kamara all seem difficult for individuals reasons; guess that's what happens when you are going for top tier players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Vlahovic is going to cost somewhere close to £60m. Even if they try to add Kulusevski to a potential swap deal they will still have to shell out a fair bit to get him. The only way I can see us not signing Bentancur is if they sell McKennie to Spurs, which has been rumoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
