thabucks Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Page 1000 boom ! … Ernest Nuamah, a player I wanted us to sign had signed for Lyon, probs as a replacement for Cherki - wonder if he’s on our radar. Expect the domino’s to fall as the window end approaches. Edited August 26, 2023 by thabucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Feels like we are still one short at the back - whether that’s a RB or a CB - ideally someone who can play both given the system we play. You would think that surely we will have one more attacker coming in, given the clear out - Wesley, Davis, Archer, Ramsey, Philagene, Countinho . . . . . And Buendia injured.

I'd like us to have a Right sided Moreno type as well if possible. We need to be able to switch up the attacking sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are all players we’ve been linked with that haven’t moved yet. I’m sure there’s lots more. Agree. I have no doubts we'll bring in a right footed, left winger. Of all our 7 forward players, only Watkins and Buendia are right footed, it's an absolute must. Also interestingly, only one of our 6 midfielders is left footed (McGinn), therefore I would bet on a lefty coming in who can play both central and attacking mid. My bet would be Lo Celso.

Got to say… I love how Monchi has just got straight to work and cleared out the players not deemed worthy or up to standard… (yet, for the youngsters)… It’s about time we stopped accepting mediocrity and being overly sentimental… a bit of ruthlessness isn’t a bad thing… It’s evident that we only want players that Unai can actually work with, that fit into his plans and vision, that can genuinely contribute and be relied on to do so… we want move onwards and upwards, not stand still, regress or decline like we did for sooooo long… Times are a changing… and it’s beautiful!

Torres is a certain starter now, we need the aerial presence of Carlos in both boxes, and to be fair to Konsa he’s a very good player when he’s got a strong commanding centre back next to him, which Carlos is. I think we’ start regularly with: konsa - Carlos - Pau - Moreno with the option of switching to: Cash - Carlos - Pau - Digne See if Cash can get back up to speed like he did in the few games after his injury last season. Yeah a back 4 of Konsa, Carlos, Pau and a left back looks pretty solid. I think a standard back 4 (i.e. with Cash at RB) with a centre back pairing of either Carlos/Konsa/Pau has risks either a little light aerially with Konsa and Pau, or relying on Carlos to provide the physicality when he’s still very much an unknown quantity in the PL I’m not sure I really trust Cash too much to be honest, he’s not quite defensively solid enough for that RB/CB hybrid role and going forward he’s decent but not exceptional. As a standard all round modern full back he’s a decent player, but seems like Emery doesn’t really want a player of that mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
