The Squad planning thread

Gvardiol is already on the cusp of being world class. Nunes is a good footballer and surprisingly versatile but he will never be world class

Don' get me wrong I'm not criticising G as a central defender and he may become a world class central defender. I just think Nunes gets a bums rap for his efforts at full-back I would suggest that fans seemed to have forgotten Gs abysmal and costly performance against Feyenoord

Again thats kinda the problem isn't it, Foden isn't someone who's gonna get assists and Marmoush doenst have any either

So whos the creative focal point? Cambiasso isn't a creator as a FB, Reijnders isn't a creator either, MGW has some ok stats but he excels o nthe counter, he won't create against a deep block

So we've got 4 of our midfield who'd rather score than assist with full backs who won't wanna either, it's not exactly balanced

And without any creators whats the point of Haaland, if he's not getting supplied he's pretty limited

We need a #10, a proper one, and if it's not Foden it's not MGW either at least for the level we aspire to be

It's like we have 4 guitarists, but we need a bass player.

This is part of the problem as I see it. You can afford the odd cock-up by a player not playing in his natural position in a full league season as there is an in-built margin of error but that does not exist to the same extent in a Cup competition. That's why Pep's brain farts are so costly in Cups.

When you play the very best in the Champions League, they're merciless and will prey on your weakest link. Against the domestic dross, you can generally get away with it and protect him, but the top sides in England will go for him and often expose his failings.

we need to get some good home grown talent because Walker, Grealish, McAtee, Phillips, Stones all being sold imo.

With the possible outgoings of Rico and/or Ake too along with going after only 2 or 3 English/FA-trained players, I'm not going to be surprised if Grealish and/or Stones are still here next season.
 
Rico outgoing? Where did that come from? Jesus wept, some serious shite being spoken on here. Why would he go when he is club trained and doesn't even take up a full squad place due to his age?

People appear to want rid of everyone. As things stand, the only players in the Bluemoon dressing room are Rodri and Gvardiol, and the denizens are even divided over where the latter should play.

Bluemoon is intent on solving the country’s immigration problem in one window, props.

What are you on about.

Literally 0 links with Rico leaving.

Doesn’t have to be any and I’m not saying he’s gone for sure. Tf is everyone getting wound up about it?

We’re about to have a squad overhaul so it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine a lot of players aren’t nailed on to be returning.
 
what are the chances anyone new from EDS are promoted to Senior squad?

i would not be against Simpson-Pusey and Divine Mukasa getting some games
