avfc1982am Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 If we played him as a 6 and Luiz and Kamara as the 8's that could work I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podster Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Scored 9 goals an got 5 assists, would be ok stats for a season, however thats his total for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mantis Posted September 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2022 I feel like Dendoncker/Kamara/Luiz in a midfield three is a huge upgrade on the Ramsey/McGinn/Luiz midfield we had for a lot of last season. Certainly a lot more physical. Of course I'm assuming that the new manager will drop McGinn and we won't be lumbered with him week in week out like we are now. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancvillan Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I like this signing. Gives us something we don't have in the midfield, and as @Mantissaid would be a good partner for Bouba. Then pick one other midfielder (I think we know who that'll be). About as fashionable as a Burbury-wrapped Vauxhall Nova, but does one job well. Not expecting him to chip in with many goals and assists, but according to Wolves fans is good when played to his strengths and (quoting from a forum) "plays like he's reffing the game". We could use a bit more malice and bite in the middle to free up our creative players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 In isolation, I don't think this is a bad signing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Luiz, three and a bit PL seasons : 6 goals and 7 assists, but he's a £30m player apparently. Who knew.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegendOfLeonBailey31 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 4-2-3-1 please. We are leaking goals.... play two CDMs (LD32 and BK44) to help us quell that and stop getting bossed in midfield.... and then pick your front 4. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely good partner for Bouba... will definitely help in the areas we are lacking... give us some profile on set pieces at both ends... a little more strength/size overall... and both LD and Bouba will hopefully start busting shit up in midfield and releasing our talent to go the other way.

Isn’t Dendoncker/Kamara/Luiz too defensive or would Luiz now be playing further forward? Would we play those 3 then Coutinho and Buendia and Watkins? I also can’t see McGinn getting dropped suddenly but it would be really nice to see how that midfield would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Knowing Gerrard, I fully expect us to play 3-2-3-2 next game. A take on 5-3-2 but making us as narrow as physically possible so he can still implement 'his' system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa Gaffa Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Its a risk free transfer for a reliable midfield player we needed in our squad. He might surprise if given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a centre half in a system that plays 3 at the back. He’s never played in a back 2. I just assumed he was replacing dougy. They play similar positions. We have loads of CMs who aren’t technically gifted enough to take us to the next level and Dendoncker just seems to be another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
