It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

Not bringing in an energetic midfielder to help replace/rotate Fernandinho will be our undoing.

Last season we looked vulnerable when he was moved to defence. We looked slow as hell without him against Lyon. Against Leicester the team fell apart as soon as he was substituted.

I don't know what Pep, Txiki, etc, are seeing that I'm not?

I don't think you are alone tbh.

Numbers in that position?

If he is a striker we only have two, and one of those is 17 years old!!! (Jesus is a forward not a striker)

So what is Jesus now? This place is unbelievable yo justify signing players positions are being changed.

People said We need to sign wingers bcoz Bernardo and Foden aren't one. And then people say we need to Central Midfielders bcoz Foden and Bernardo are not CM.

I don't know how people want us to striker when we have 2 for one position and kne top talent coming up. Injured players will return soon and then thisnshort term striker will eat into wages a foreign spot and fee minutes which Delap deserves

“Offloading” is such an unkind term. I prefer to view it as actively facilitating the realignment of a player’s professional career.

Pep has not been the same since Arteta left

He needed a number 2 to bounce off not someone who will agree with him all the time
Not sure current set up suits him

Would love Vinny back as his assistant and something like this could give Pep the spark again

I think his personal life is a bigger factor.

It’s taken several years. We don’t have a great history when it comes to left backs.

Clichy is probably the best we’ve had in recent years.

Up until the injury Mendy was looking promising.

 

[dhruvblue]

Nothing I don't like mate I just don't see him being a top top player.

No team has squad full if TOP TOP PLAYERS. You don't need to have €40/50m rated players to win.

Article mentions Alaba and Tagliafico

If we manage to sell Zinchenko and sign Alaba in 6 days I’ll actually start to have faith in our recruitment again!

Alaba is absolutely perfect for us.

First time id rather have liverpools midfield to ours. First time i dont see ours as the best.
Lost peak ferna and peak silva and not been adequately replaced.
All theirs are now at their peak or even approaching so we do need reinforcements there to anyone thinking otherwise.
Get a decent CM and he hides a lot of deficiencies elsewhere

Alaba is absolutely perfect for us.

He wants €400k a week, don't hold your breath on it.
