It's Quiet - a new dawn

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Gundogan will be like a new signing

Issue we have is firepower maybe KDB will score more if pushed further forward with Gundogan anchoring

Still expect Sanchez though

 

[robbieh]

In KDB's last season in the Bundesliga he was voted the Bundesliga POTY

Sadly we are playing him much too deep.

In the season he won his award he scored 16 goals and had 28 assists. Scarcely credible.

any chance we do nothing this week?

I think I would rather see us do nothing than sign Evans.

any chance we do nothing this week?

Sadly, instead of talking about Mbappe this week, I can only see Evans getting added to the squad....bit of a drop from our original targets but holding out hope we some how get the Sanchez deal over the line...Other than Silva, we not known for our quick transfer dealings, so difficult to see Sanchez deal happening but might need another signing just to soften the blow of Evans joining!;)

That's some ask,for any player.

The guy from work is a Bayern Fan but really knows his onions.. his lad is on a football scholarship in Georgia, USA and they are hoping for big things from him..

He knows the league well and as somebody else posted Gundogan was considered a bargain for us even with the risks over his initial injury...

I hope he fulfills his potential under Pep who does like to play people out of position...

If Wenger will stop at nothing to keep Sanchez, then if we do nothing, then maybe he will stop and allow him to leave? ;)

I cannot wait to see him back in the first team and I would be surprised if his role is not predominantly the deeper role that KDB was given later on against Bournemouth.

He is superb at receiving the ball under pressure on the half turn, spinning away and releasing it with great accuracy. He also can move with the ball very effectively which adds another dimension to that role

Spot on. He can run a game from deep which De Bruyne doesnt do with the same quality. He belongs further forward. Alongside Fernandinho we might have enough energy in the centre to protect the defence. It isnt just energy either. With more intelligence and control in the middle we wouldnt be caught out. Generally we are still orchestrating our own issues defensively. Bournemouth scored (a few phases later) from ferny being caught out. He also got caught out from a bad pass by otamendi that led to king hitting the post. Eliminate those errors, which gundogan would, and we are more solid instantly.

If we get Sanchez and Evans this window then we're in better shape.

Not worth waiting for what could have been.

Next season will be next season and a totally different landscape.

We will not play with 2 holding midfielders under pep. Ever.
