Ake is the most football inteligent CB we have and also has a good passing range, Stones a close second.Gvardiol will be fine once we get a defensive mid sorted and a right back.because he marauding forward it leaves gaps on his side.Hence why ake is now playing there.
I think his fuck ups have something to do that he has to play every game since he is our onl defender who is fit until now. Probably needs like 2 games in a row on the bench and will be free to play again. It’s not like he saved us at the start of the season.I agree on all but would say Gvardiols several fuck ups have been when he comes into a central position with no Ake available supporting him, maybe due to being played wider he has'nt setttled into our CB role, but at present Ake and Dias when fit are a better option.
long term we need a real LB and Gravdiol given the oportunity to mke LCB his though
At LB he has also been effective with goals and in attack.
Agreed he has done a valient job like berny putting in am endless shift for us and been our most consistant defender this seasonI think his fuck ups have something to do that he has to play every game since he is our onl defender who is fit until now. Probably needs like 2 games in a row on the bench and will be free to play again. It’s not like he saved us at the start of the season.
Recently, his penchant for error-strewn play has been a major problem for us. I fully agree that we desperately need dedicated fullbacks on both sides.I agree on all but would say Gvardiols several fuck ups have been when he comes into a central position with no Ake available supporting him, maybe due to being played wider he has'nt setttled into our CB role, but at present Ake and Dias when fit are a better option.

Yes, but he and Rico seem to have been the only defenders not playing through injuries. I think Josko might defend better if he could concentrate on establishing himself as a central defender.I think his fuck ups have something to do that he has to play every game since he is our onl defender who is fit until now.

He was in the centre of defence when West Ham scored on saturdayYes, but he and Rico seem to have been the only defenders not playing through injuries. I think Josko might defend better if he could concentrate on establishing himself as a central defender.
only issue with that is doesnt he play off the left, wouldnt be a fan of shifting savinho over to the right to accommodate him as that looks to be his best positionI’d like this now if possible to freshen up how we attack
he's a powerful runner with a good cross and shot on him, really wouldn't be surprised if Pep does play him on the rightonly issue with that is doesnt he play off the left, wouldnt be a fan of shifting savinho over to the right to accommodate him as that looks to be his best position
Leroy? Did you learn anything from the Gundo experiment,? You don't go back. Turkish teams are looking at Leroy these days..Desperate need for players right now, particularly defensive ones, so the first thing we do is look to secure a 7th left wing option for the summer. That couldn't describe our last few windows more perfectly.
Wouldnt be unhappy with him coming in but looks like a budget Musiala to me. I'd want to see us go all in for the real deal instead and if thats not an option then bring back Leroy on a free and stick the £60-80m into getting the absolute best in the business in other areas.
What do we currently have? We never replaced Alvarez, We let Palmer slip, so what do really we have now? One attacker, an ageing Kdb, a Bernie that works just as hard as a pitbull but has mysteriously lost his flair.Can we rely on Doku or Savinho when we desperately need a goal?It's actually a spot on take, he's no better, at best, than what we have....and it's not a position we need. You sound extremely desperate ;)
Transfermarkt has him down as playing 49 games at CF, with 8 games as second striker and 5 as a left winger for Frankfurt. I imagine Pep would be looking for him to play the role he had Alvarez playing when he played him and Haaland together.only issue with that is doesnt he play off the left, wouldnt be a fan of shifting savinho over to the right to accommodate him as that looks to be his best position

In fairness, Sané is significantly younger than Gundo, a player who has clearly entered the twilight of an admittedly glittering career. Sané, by contrast I would argue, has a number of seasons ahead of him at the highest level. Reported interest from Turkish clubs is hardly a reflection on Sané's calibre given that he'll be available on a free come June. Other far more attractive offers will undoubtedly be on the table as that date approaches. That's not to say I necessarily believe Sané would be a good fit for us just now, only that the risk isn't as high as you suggest. As for Marmoush, I'd take him in a heartbeat if a suitable fee could be negotiated. However, the chances of prising him away in the January window are remote at best. Otherwise, an attacking midfielder isn't where we desperately need to strengthen if dipping our toe into the market at this time.Leroy? Did you learn anything from the Gundo experiment,? You don't go back. Turkish teams are looking at Leroy these days..
You are complaining about Marmouah only ro suggest Leroy.
Jesus!
ah fair enough then, not sure where i got that he was left sidedTransfermarkt has him down as playing 49 games at CF, with 8 games as second striker and 5 as a left winger for Frankfurt. I imagine Pep would be looking for him to play the role he had Alvarez playing when he played him and Haaland together.
The ideal Alvarez replacement, with more technical abilityTransfermarkt has him down as playing 49 games at CF, with 8 games as second striker and 5 as a left winger for Frankfurt. I imagine Pep would be looking for him to play the role he had Alvarez playing when he played him and Haaland together.
We don’t want him eitherLeroy? Did you learn anything from the Gundo experiment,? You don't go back. Turkish teams are looking at Leroy these days..
