Players who might improve us

[PabloZabeleta]

Arguably still short at left back?

Cancelo is 6' although the new signing is only 5''7". Scratch that Wilson-Esbrand is 5'7" too but we are covered for this season.

ACL rarely allows players to recapture their peak. Think only Xavi, Van Nistelroy and Robben looked as good post op

That isn't necessarily true. The following was taken from a physical therapy partnerships website on recovering from ACL surgery.

"The rehab you do after an ACL tear sets the stage for the level of play you are able to return to. Poor rehab (or poor effort / attendance during rehab) = a slower, weaker, less athletic, more injury-prone you when you go back to your sport."

Are Foden Haaland and Alvarez the tortoise types.

Do those 3 players make the whole attacking squad?, Aguero, Torres, Sterling and Jesus have left, we have the smallest squad depth in the league and one of the slowest up front.,

Is Wilson-Esbrand 5 7 he looks much taller?

Shearer, Ibrahimović, Baggio, del Piero, Pires, Totti, Falcao, Rooney…

Imagine thinking only 3 players have fully recovered from ACL injuries.

Agüero was no longer even quick by the time he left. Torres wasn’t quick but replaced Sané. Sterling and Jesus have left and now we have Haaland and Álvarez. They average out at a similar pace.

Haaland, Álvarez, Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, Palmer

6 forwards. Fastest striker in the league.

But we’re short in attack and not fast enough….

Rooney didn’t do ACL did he? Falcao was never the same. I’ll give you shearer. Not sure Baggio was or Totti. And Ibra did his very late in his career when already past his best anyway.

Does it make me a bad person that I wish that **** Keane had never recovered from his injury?

We have the strongest squad in the league by a country mile.

Saw a report Mendes has offered Neto to United this morning, I'll be gutted for the lad.

6 forwards for 5 positions and Haaland as the fastest striker in the league is nonsense, he is quick once he gets going, but i think you are missing my point, or more likely i am not making it properly when we had a young Sterling, Sane and Aguero in his pomp we had the fastest attack in the league, we won the space, every loose ball, every poor pass improved, with no pace opponents can play the high back line and the high press, liverpool Palace Southampton and Tottenham all used our lack of a counter last season.

I think we're fine for pace up front and I suspect if teams wish to play a high line against us, they may very well regret it.

You’re talking absolute shite now.

5 positions??? The fuck are you on about!? The forwards are competing for 3 positions. The attacking midfield positions are taken up by KDB, Ilkay and Bernardo.

Last year we didn’t have peak Agüero, young Raz and Young Sané but we still won the league didn’t we?

“Haaland as the fastest striker in the league is nonsense, he is quick once he gets going”

Ummmm no it’s not nonsense at all, the guy is a fucking animal. Faster than Sterling and peak Agüero.

 

[salfordbluetrue]

just those that were named, but ultimately it is 25 players which we do not have.

I think he meant that those 6 are competing for 3 positions, not 5.
