Diaby wasn't it IMO. We're obviously waiting to see if he becomes available. Does feel like this. Zaniolo on loan, maybe digne out for Acuna, Ramsey to Burnley. Feels like we are making room for one last big signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resale is incredibly important for us, we don’t have endless money and we already have two 30 year old left backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Based on the first game and seeing the impact Buendia (and Mings) injuries had, I think we need: RB/RCB - Foyth / someone similar - Cash just doesn't work in Emery's system, and I'm not sure he is great in any system really. Forward/SS - Zaniolo - the extra option up front that could also work alongside Diaby and Watkins. 10/Left Forward - someone like Buendia...someone that presses and tries to create. Olise would've been good, but looks like he's off to Chelsea. Someone in the vein of Lorenzo Pelligrini, but he's said he's not leaving Roma till he wins Serie A and said no to Newcastle last year anyway. This chap Alexis Flips has the right kind of stats, but he's only just moved to Atlanta. I can't think of who else in this mould we might find? LB - someone like Acuna, but a lot younger ideally.

El-Reacho Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 If we're focussing on another LB whilst Digne is still here then we'll almost certainly be going for a RB too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just helping someone else embed the post. Also, I'd be less than impressed if we signed Johnson...worse than Jack Harrison, and I don't rate him either.

I believe 2 seasons ago they was ITK for some of our dealings. I think he got into a bit of trouble leaking news so switched to a tactical page since, they seem like a sound person tbh. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
