Houssem Aouar

Yes exactly this. Whilst Pep mulls over the many things that went wrong during the season I hope he decides to start picking players on form in general. Not saying flog people to death but sometimes it’s one great game by someone then back on the bench. At times the constant switching has been ridiculous.

It is annoying that Pep does that. But, at risk of getting the happy clappers started; i believe Pep drops Foden because it's easier to bench him rather than a say Gundog or Bernardo. Foden will just accept his lot because he is young and feels that it's what he has to do. In other words, provides Pep with the excuse needed to play a more seasoned player. I don't agree with it at all but how many times have we seen this especially this past season??

Maybe I've just not got to that same point as you but I just don't see it so far. He's an upgrade on a similar player we have but if we're not losing that player then I think that's problematic.

"Hes a massive upgrade on a player we have. I dont want him"

Really?

Next season we can probably carry an extra player in every position anyway thanks to the ridicules schedule and zero gap between seasons.

My concerns went away when I re wafched the game in Lyon last season and worked out he is the Silva replacement.

And when you work that out it all makes sense.

And I would still like a physical midfielder, that hasnt changed, but it would be at the expense of Fern, who's legs have gone, or Gundogan.

agreed on fern , he looked shot at the end of the season, i would say a liability, comes to them all.

I disagree. Unless we're shifting all three of Garcia, Otamendi and Stones then I think Fernandinho will be getting more time minutes as a midfielder again. People were already swearing he'd never play in midfield again for us last season until he got a few games there towards the end.

That would leave us with Fernandinho, Rodri, Gundogan, Foden, Bernardo and Kev all to play three spots between them.

This guy is really talented (can't believe someone said yesterday that he's not good enough for us) but he's available about a year before we need him.

Unless, of course, we're losing someone.

Agree that it all depends on Fernandinho moving back into CM, which I don’t think he will. However, maybe it’s chicken & egg scenario. I think we’re looking at a CM in which case he doesn’t play CM.....but if we don’t find a suitable CM, then he will play CM.
And I’ve possibly just confused myself with that last sentence :)
 
Well it's Wolves away first game so some pace defo needed to counter their counter!! Get him in, if we had 4 supercharged M/Fs and a fit Sergio we will devastate teams!!

I know mate.....I struggle to resist when situations like this arise. Many apologies for laughing at you & playing the clown.

Quick question tho....seeing as Phil was already in the squad last season & he is Silva’s replacement; who will be Phil’s replacement?

You seem to be ignoring half the point I've made which is that I'd welcome him with open arms if we shed the deadwood he would be replacing but, as things stand, I don't think we'd need him.

You're better than putting words in people's mouths and taking them out when it doesn't suit you.
