The are we allowed the "it's quiet" thread yet? thread.

We have that player Gundagun, he is pure class on the ball not many better than him. His pass & retrieve is pure quality, him with Kroos & Dino would be heaven.

I think Gundagun comes in for Dino, then Dino takes a fullback roll, especially with the full backs tucking in like they appear to be.

Gundogan isn't the type of player to do Fernandinho's role in between the CB's, he's not defensive enough, that's why his best play for Dortmund came next to Weigl doing the defensive stuff. He's the kind of player who would replace Silva.

I seem to remember reading in Pep Confidential that Guardiola doesn't think Kroos is suited to playing as the pivot and only using him as part of a double or pushed higher up. Might have remembered that wrong but personally I don't think Kroos could be relied on to do the defensive side of that role.

That's right - he played over 50 times for Pep in 13/14, but not once in the pivot role.

Which is why I don't see any point in us signing him. There are plenty of more suitable players imo, including some of those already at the club.

unless we can find new homes for Nasri, Yaya, Mangala, etc...not sure we will see many new videos for signings before the window shuts. Think its Bravo and done unless sales start picking up!

I agree ,and in my opinion Aaron mooy could do the role no problem. Not surprisingly getting rave reviews at Huddersfield
