It's Quiet - a new dawn

It was there for him but think the pull of Sevilla and a longer term deal has won out.

Fair enough,cheers

We would never win a league game again with that midfield, imo.

Plus the bench would pretty much need to be all homegrown!

We'd win plenty. It's no weaker than having Yaya inbetween De Bruyne and Silva.

I suppose we could go three at the back?

The pace and power of Walker and Sandro effectively makes us a five in midfield anyhow?

I would favour VVD or Bonucci over Laporte. Whilst Stones hasn't strictly been a bad signing, we do have an ugly habit of signing young centre backs who don't live up to their hype. Rodwell, Savic, Boateng, Mangala and Nastasic all spring to mind.

I'd say Boateng lived up to the hype. He is World Class.

Could be glorious. Especially if we sign a new center back.

A lot of money on Bernado Silva joining us apparently. Can't see it personally.

 

[BlueDeadHead]

Laporte rejected us less than a year ago. What has changed?

He is healthy.

He's 1.25 to join all of a sudden.

Edit: or 1/4 on for you old schoolers.

Pep will use a back three at time next season.

At his time at Bayern, especially in the final season, he alternated between 3 and 4 at the back depending on the opposition.

Rightly so in my opinion, no formation/ tactics fits universally.

i agree that team looks very defensively weak in midfield.
