We need someone on the left that can do what Bailey’s done on the right for us. If we were going down the LW/IF route then Felix or F Torres would be decent shouts. Striker I haven’t got a clue. Liked the look of Openda before he went to Leipzig. Boniface would be good but not sure he’d fit as he plays more from the left. Perhaps a wildcard youngster like Kilicsoy or Konate perhaps. Would anyone take Lukaku on a short term deal? The last line just ruined my chances of taking this post seriously..... Felix is also laughable.....

MrBlack Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) What's important is we address the squad depth to cope with injuries. Chambers, Hause and presumably Lenglet will leave us. So one reliable centre back to replace all of those is a must. Torres had been very reliant with injuries so hopefully a freak lay off for him. Mings should be back, so one replacing three of the above would be good (and maybe release funds to be used elsewhere). Elsewhere in defence we could ideally do with selling Cash for a decent amount of money, and getting a ready replacement. This let's Konsa go back to CB, providing depth there and allowing konsa to still be the cover right back. Unless we think the signing of Nedeljkovic can take that spot? Hopefully we sell Donk as well and get a reliable DM in to replace him that suits the way we play. Then assuming we have to buy Archer back I think we solve the alternative option to Watkins (sure some will disagree). 3 or 4 signings, 5 outgoings. Would be ideal window for me. Big ask really.

So don’t prevaricate please tell all..... sorry I did edit my last post.... His wage demands make him an unrealistic target. His mother is (was) his agent, she is incredibly difficult to deal with.... Rabiot is by all accounts a massive pain in the arse and he would never be lured to midlands, and that makes me happy... prevaricate needed a comma after it, a waste of a good word Edited February 13 by Villan_of_oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Unai has worked with Rabiot before he will know the full extent of the “trouble” Rabiot brings so is best placed to make a judgement. If Unai thinks Rabiot is OK then fine by me.

I get the LM/LW options being fanciful but what’s so hilarious about the others? Also, supporters can have knowledge about players, which they’ve watched or researched, etc, without the throw away FIFA/FM comments being banded about the place to discredit genuine knowledge. If you have other player options then by all means say.

I'm sorry if I offended you, We would never pay Lukaku's wages plus he's failed in the PL too many times. We would never pay Felix's wages and he fails to live up to his costs.

We would never pay Felix's wages and he fails to live up to his costs. No offence taken, the Lukaku comment was just to spark debate. He’s a good player, with a good scoring record but far too much baggage. Felix and F. Torres were in there as it was rumoured we were interested previously. Personally I’d rather go for a less pricey option on the left such as Gouiri, who I think would work really in an Emery system. I just tire of the openly critical posters here sometimes. We all have opinions and they are all equally valid. Edited February 13 by burchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
