CVByrne Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 There is no point playing Suarez when he's leaving at end of the season. Athletico building for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Trez, AEG, Guilbert, Davis, Traore, Targett, Luiz, Chukwuemeka, Konsa/Hause - So 9 players to be sold, 10 if you include Hourihane contract expiring. Added will be Coutinho and Olsen, LB, CB, CDM and a CF. That's my guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the plan was to have no shots and just defend in which case Suarez not needed for the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Not an on the pitch transfer but I hope our owners are monitoring the Chelsea situation as I would be happy to dump Purslow and bring in Marina to replace him. She isnt on the sanctions list and would be a statement of intent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suarez would do a good job here Suarez from years ago, maybe even from last season would do a job here. But I think everyone that watches spanish football (i do not) agree that his legs have gone. To be fair to Suarez, there are not many 35 year old strikers that are still delivering in the top leagues. Wouldn't be totally against Suarez coming, if we sell either ings or watkins and he is only used as a bit player and brought in more for the backroom stuff. Kind of like an ashley young signing, as long as he is not getting in the way of developing youngsters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suarez is like a less dynamic version of Ronaldo now, if we signed him we would need to play him as a poacher with another striker to do his work rate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sort out the midfield, then Watkins and Ings with possibly Archer coming through will hopefully score plenty of goals. If we consider Bailey as a goal threat, if he can keep fit, then I don’t think we’ll see many incoming attacking players. Big dosh spent on central midfield and possibly central defence. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyavfc Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 He also has 11 goals in 29 games this season despite not starting a lot of them. 21 in 32 the season before that. The reason he doesn’t play is because he called Simeone an asshole in the public eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though Ings and Watkins have not had fantastic seasons, they are both proven quality and should do the job (Players have dip in forms and lack confidence from time to time, which is clearly the issue for Watkins, with an extremely over the top reaction from the fans towards him and his performances). I do not see buying a striker as a priority at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 It's the question about the formation which needs answering. If 4 3 3 is not returning then players like Bailey have no future with the club Of 4 3 2 1 is going to be the go to then we will struggle as Watkins isn't the goal scorer needed at top of the formation So many questions need answering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And generally running round whilst on the pitch? And then there's the biting. And the racism.
