Said before Lukakus problem is his body belies what he actually is, he's a 6ft 4 18 stone Michael Owen, his game is or was sharpness and speed, movement in the box, play the ball in front of him with him facing goal, one touch first time finish This back to goal hold the ball stuff is nonsense, him dropping deep to come play football, bomb all of that off he's no good at it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we loan KKH, that LB will probably be Hickey and will cover both RB & LB. Even then it assumes we sell Guilbert. No need to buy a RB imo (particularly if we finally get Hickey) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about the types of players and just using them as examples......We signed Gareth Barry as a youngster, why didn't we repalce him, when he left......we have just signed attacking midfielders and wingers......I hope its changed now and I hope we change that when the window opens. There’s a difference in leaving your boyhood club for the reigning PL champs & leaving your boyhood club for their biggest / most fierce rival we signed Iroegbunam, Swinkles, Feeney, Kerr Smith, Bogarde, Lindsey, Chrisine etc. that all have a defensive side in their game for our academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 It's a good sign that Gerrard wants the signings in before the tour of Oz starts, means no faffing about with transfers dragging on like Smith-Rowe/Ward-Prowse. A proper pre-season in and hoepfully get off to a flying start in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can land our CDM quickly. Phillips if Leeds relegated. Kamara as he's on a free hopefully he decides when season is over. Etc..

The narrow formation with everyone in the middle of the pitch? 13th or lower. 3421 and I'm more interested. Hope Gerrard moves towards this if he decides to start Buendia and Coutinho at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a budget, we made inquiries/tried to negotiate, then moved on to other targets when we were priced out. When all our CM targets were not available for the price we wanted, we held off on signing anyone last summer and decided to try again in the future. It only looked like we were screwing around because the army of fake ITK journalists seemed to think that we were just negotiating for weeks on end when the announcement wasn't made. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love it if Leeds were relegated, but would pass on Phillips. I don't think he's anywhere near as good as some make him out to be. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it felt like a no brainer to get that one over the line last year, our top targets fell through, he was available, we could've convinced him to come and he'd have been an upgrade and given us genuine options. Would happily revisit that too. Its easy to get sidetracked with the names or the players linked to Atleti etc. But Sangare, Doucoure etc. Would all be solid signings too. We simply have to fix it this summer. It's been too long now. It's a difficult position to fix. Man Utd have struggled to really fill it with the likes of Schneiderlin, Matic, Fred, McTominay and havent found a working formula yet and haven't been able to add the right player for years. Arsenal have the now-almost-comical inability to replace Viera, although Partey is looking good. It's not an easy position to fix but we have a real opportunity this summer and we have to fix it. Kondogbia, Kamara, Philips, Sangare, Doucoure, Bissouma are all available and nearly all of them could be on the move. It's time to get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the mythical Cheikh Doucoure. Has the best stats out of every young DM in europe but nobody ever signs him. There must be a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However agents will hang out to be sure to get the best deal + clubs will want replacements in the pipeline before they sell certain players - so it's not always possible.
