Thats totall rubish makes me laugh how people quckly cast aside our better players to see a shiny new toy .fernandiniho has all the skill set required otherwise he wouldnt have been played in most positions in this team.its all about balance and fernandiniho gives us exactly that.and to say he just jams up the lane is ludicrous he covers more ground than anyone.We don't need a DM mate. Playing 3 at the back that role becomes the job of the central CB. The player in the traditional DM role should be a release valve. Gets the ball and quickly dstributes it. Gundogan and Silva would be excellent there. If we were a back 2 rather than a 3, then yes, you need someone with a bit more steel, but we need a Modric player in front of Stones rather than a Fernandinho.
He simply isn't up to playing the role. Not a great mover without the ball, and he's jamming up the lane in front of him. Fluid movement is exactly what's required in there, and unless he has the ball then Dinho just camps and waits for it once he finds space, but in this system his role is to make space by moving, not be in that space.
and to say he just jams up the lane is ludicrous he covers more ground than anyone.

Is the Alderweirald fee story legit? I.e that he has a buyout of £25m from next year? If so, constructing a deal like Liverpool's for Keita would be decent business
Totally agred... My kid kept calling his mistakes out. Hes past it.Gundogan plays instead of dinho and bournemouth do nothing
1. Dinho was causing a lot of the fires by giving the ball away stupidly
2. Gundogan could control the game from deep
He needs a run of games in his normal position not into this take him out if the team because hes had an average game lark we will never get anywhere doing that.You not accept that his performances have dropped off since he first signed - genuine question ?
Tolmie, any actual xfer news ?
A xmas treeWhat's an xfer?
Don't think we will sign anyone but agree we need a nasty mother ...... but it will be priority next season imo.Thats totall rubish makes me laugh how people quckly cast aside our better players to see a shiny new toy .fernandiniho has all the skill set required otherwise he wouldnt have been played in most positions in this team.its all about balance and fernandiniho gives us exactly that.and to say he just jams up the lane is ludicrous he covers more ground than anyone.

Attack attack & finish our chances & we won't need one.
I haven't really been convinced whenever I've seen him, but I could be wrong. I said this in the Sanchez thread, but I think Draxler would be perfect for Arsenal currently. He seems to be out of favor at PSG and doesn't have a chance at minutes competing with Neymar, di Maria, and Lucas. He needs those minutes because it is a World Cup year and needs to prove that he belongs in Germany's squad over guys like Leroy and those coming from their U21s and U23s. He's not someone who can demand playing time at a Champions League club, so I would guess he's looking for anyone willing to give him an opportunity.What about final push for Sanchez, Draxler and HG = Evans ? Think PSG would sell to us ?
Nothing for us hunSo, right, work has had me stitched up these last few days...
Anything of note happen aside from the reported Sanchez transfer request and shady Mbappe-PSG dealings?
