I just feel if we’re going to move back to playing with two defensive midfielders, I’d rather have one in there that knows the league. Kamara has a lot of potential, that much is clear, but the Prem is a big step up so he mignt need someone alongside him in there who has prem experience. Either way, thank god it looks like we’re finally targeting an important area of the team. Have we given any indication we are going to play 2 defensive midfielders. Its not something Gerrard did at Rangers or has even tried here yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 This guy and Bissouma would be exactly what our midfield needs. I'd ship out Mcginn and go with either a two of Bissouma and Kamara, our a three of Kamara behind Bissouma and Ramsey. Doug and Nakamba as back up to those two and Chukwuemeka as Ramsey's back up. With Irebogum as extra cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 We'll go back to 2 8s in midfield. If you was to put Kamara Ramsey. Bissouma In there over Luiz, Ramsey, McGinn. It's a very different midfield to what we have currently even if the set up / formation is the same. I still think in an ideal world you'd want a bit more energy in there somehow but that is still available with McGinn or Sanson off the bench. Not like we could go and get someone like Gallagher too (and not sure Gallagher-Ramsey would work). I think that's a big change to our midfield with Kamara and Bissouma. Those two can't sit and keep the possession and allow Ramsey to roam and link up with Coutinho, Buendia etc al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Also having that defensive set up would make it easier to give game time to Iroegbunam, Chukweumeka if he stays and AJ in the future, the spine behind (or alongside in Tims case) would make it less risky to throw them in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Preece saying he was there for Kamara. Also was at City v Atleti for Kondogbia Also was at Leicester v PSV for Sangare. I still think Purslow being at Marseille means that a meeting or money was actually being discussed. No need for him to be there otherwise. But Kamara and Sangare have been talked a lot about on here. Kondogbia also would be a stellar signing. Honestly any of those three would be good signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey would be a better fit for that role. Chukwuemeka has the potential to be a top player in that combined 8 and 10 role. I mean working box to box, with an emphasis on either scoring or creating goals. Alongside a number 8 with an emphasis on protecting the defence and dictating the play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite, but Ramsey is 20 and will burn out or go through inconsistencies. As will Chuk - who may leave regardless - in which case, having McGinn to rotate with Bissouma, Chuk and Ramsey is a great option. He'd still get a lot of game time and be worth keeping around. Ramsey isn't yet a 90mins / 38 game player and someone like McGinn to rotate with him or to play instead of Bissouma if he needs a rest or in games we can dominate in would be ideal.

Not that it makes it easy but at least 1 less thing to deal with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
