TRO Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 20 hours ago, RicRic said: Its more the fact we could be in the biggest competition in football next season so upgrades are needed for sure.. Bailey is the only winger who looks capable of starting against lets say a barcelona, diaby,rogers and JJ are certainly not ( possibly a fit JJ *undecided*). We are not starting with another player similar to Kamara because we only need him and Luiz who drives further forward, then we have Tielemans and Mcginn who can play multiple roles in the central midfield area, but we do need a backup to Kamara as Tim isn’t ready yet. If Duran leaves we then need to look at signing a forward again… So B**locks to FFP we will need to spend at least £100M on 3/4 positions its not fair we cannot. *RB* *LW* *CDM/CM* *ST* In a game, where there is a need to win the ball back, often........It can be too much work, for one, and to go after opponents, 2 is better than 1. In most games, where we are in control, I agree 1 CDM is fine......but I am thinking squad as opposed to team. An additional quality CDM gives Unai options, and some opponents is hard to get the ball off them. Anyway, in the cold light of day, I trust Unai to get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Should we succeed in getting champs league next season, then I think we’ll see a lot of movement. I’d say at a bare minimum we would need LB RB CDM winger/forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted May 2 Popular Post Share Posted May 2 I'm not too concerned. A couple of quality additions and we should be fine. Duran and other young kids will continue to develop. Cliche but Ramsay, Buendia and Mings are 3 new signings to what this squad have achieved. Diaby should be a better player. We will have a very competitive squad next year and we've already proved we can handle midweek games. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Not seem him enough to know about his ball retention and passing skills and if he would suit the Emery way but Palhinha from Fulham would tick the box for the DM roles ... imagine being hunted down by him and Kamara !! might be too expensive though as he signed a new deal after this Munich transfer fell through , that said I'd be surprised if his agent didn't get a release clause put in the new contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loosely follow Belgian football without ever really watching it... strangely enough because of a really old CM game where I managed Cercle Brugge! Denkey would be the obvious player to be scouting. He has had an incredible season; top goalscorer in the league by a mile. Bit of a slow burner up until this point but showed promise last season and has just massively kicked on. They lost Ueda to Feyenoord in the summer and he hasn't (seemingly) done much there, so always a bit of caution if that's the player we'd be after. But a striker in his early 20's having a standout season in the Belgian Pro League? It worked out alright last time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 If there is any truth to Kounde rumours, would he essentially be another Konsa? As in equivalent of Konsa in the RB role, but can also play CB comfortably when needed. Leaving Konsa to stay at CB, and OBS being able to cover RB too.

sne Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Guess we and everyone else won't be signing Roony Bardghji this summer. He's had a serious knee injury and will miss 9-12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 So what good DM are we going to buy, think Kamara missing has really cost us points and games this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we necessarily need an outright DM but someone who is better at covering the role when Kamara isn't there, someone with more versatility or a more complete midfielder who pairs with anyone sat next to him From what I've seen I think that's Thuram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
