It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

[Colin Bells Boots]

Should have kept Liam Delap , our squad depth is kept very poor considering our midfielders and defernders(Ake and Stones) are very injury prone .Total madness by the club not have a backup for Haaland

Clearly the club didn't feel that Delap was a suitable substitute for our forward strength , hence the decision to sell him.

Pep will no doubt have an alternative plan in mind.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Our backup for Haaland is switching to a false 9, which arguably suits us better in a Rodriless team anyway

Our false nine system worked because our wingers Leroy and Sterling were scoring 10 plus goals each and Kdb and Gundogan were chipping in . Current team has Doku , Grealish ,Nunes and Kovacic who don't have goals in them .

Couldn't we get an older cdm in on a free for a year to rotate with Kova. Few out there with Champions League level experience

​

Grzegorz  Krychowiak
Francis Coquelin
Christoph Kramer
Etienne Capoue

Short answer is no, but Kramer from 10 years ago used to be exactly what we needed

 

[RayCTID]

Not much quality available mid season is the real issue, and with Rodri's lengthy injury teams will put extra value on their assests. I still don't think we'll sign another player other than academy signings. Although there isn't any harm in sorting out our Summer targets during that time

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Zubimendi in January, then go all out for Barella and Musiala next summer. That’s the midfield rebuilt.

Just use Nunes as 6 and let him own the place


He just need a trust & run of games.

dont think he has the ability for that.

I can't blame you based on his recent form, but I am sure he has the ability to do it based on two games

Nunes with Sporting VS Man City

Nunes with Wolves VS Man United


If he can perform well in this role in two big games, I am sure he can do another one

we won that sporting game 5-0. hardly a ringing endorsement. Palhinha was the more defensive of the middle two.

might be useful with a 6, but as a 6. nah.

Is he the lad who got concussed in the world cup final and had to go off after about 30 minutes?
