He might not be good enough, but i would defy any manager to get a good midfield out of our squad He has chosen this midfield. Kamara his signing, Ramsey and McGinn are his 1st names on the teamsheet. He made McGinn captain. He was given 25 mil to buy a new left back in january, even though it wasnt exactly critical. Big money on a CB, 17 mil on coutinho when we already had lots of attack minded. Now potentially another attacker in for big money. Had he asked for 30 to 40 mil on a top midfielder this summer, he'd have got it. The midfield issues are on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Let’s hope that the number 8 we so desperately need is brought in this week as currently we could have Mbappe up front and it would make no difference as McGinn and Ramsey couldn’t boss an U12’s game.

Sulberto21 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I wouldn’t mind Pape Gueye from Marseille. It’ll be a perfect signing in readiness for Jorge Sampaoli. Get Duje Caleta-Car too . Get the band back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Palace apparently trying to get a loan with option to buy for Soumaré at Leicester. Guess we have no chance since he likely had Viera as his idol but I'd be all over that. Really liked him at Lille and think he did OK last season while finding his feet in the PL. Comes from the best academy in the world at PSG and he played in a double pivot alongside Aurélien Tchouameni for the French U-21. Him and Kamara would be a smashing DM pairing but I suspect it will be him and Doucouré at Palace instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Does anyone remember Gerrard saying the team would be unrecognisable after this window? Did I imagine that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t sign someone to support Kamara this season I wouldn’t be surprised if he jumped ship next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Tielemans on our radar apparently. It's a funny one with him. Endlessly linked to clubs yet no one has signed him. Think he wanted to go to Arsenal but they have overlooked him. Would be perfect to drop in as an 8 alongside Kamara. Does feel with him and Sarr there's a shift towards signing players for the next manager as opposed to the present occupant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal already signed that Fabio Vieria for 30m + and have a settled midfield trio of Xhaka-Partey-Odegaard so while off field issues may disrupt that Arteta is changing that anytime soon given the start they've made. Guess Man. United could come in for him and drop him in as 8 alongside Casemiro. It's certainly a player Gerrard would fancy based on his transfer dealings so far.
