The Squad planning thread

Look at how well O’Reilly is blossoming in a successful side. The remainder of the season should be a time to bleed more from the academy via the bench, especially in the next two months. Anyone coming in from elsewhere has to be top drawer, not just the best England currently has to offer.
 
I think it’s absolutely vital we strengthen in January, especially given we’re in the title race and doing well in the CL.

Priority should be an Alvarez type. A goalscorer, a great presser and industrious. If Haaland gets injured for any time we’d have a major problem. Let’s solve that now. Marmoush, imo, is not the answer.

Second, a new longer term CM. Anderson or Wharton should be the shouts.

Well good thing you aren't asking for much....
 
I genuinely don’t see why so many are writing Marmoush off yet?!?
Where does he fit, and he's too good to play sporadic games and minutes for us, Not really bothered who we buy but somebody like Semenyo who can play either side and could enable us to play a false 9 if needed makes more sense.
 
Not really ideally Reijnders would or will be more of a Gundogan type player,Marmoush much more of a central stiker in a 2 up front.of possibly left but Doku, Savinho and if we bought him Semenyo can all play there.

Centurion season we played Sergio and Gabby as a two? Maybe Haaland and Marmoush could work?
 
Yes it could but it would mean changing how we are setting up. IF we do want Semenyo it doesn't seem like we are willing to do that to crowbar Marmoush in.

Or Marmoush is just happy being in the club and fighting for his place? He seemed happy at the end going I’ve tot the fans punching the air etc? He’s still better than Savinho

I don't mind either way to be fair and would be happy if Marmoush stayed,but expect Marmoush the most likely to move on, but I still think Pep has a lot of faith Savinho will reach a high level and kick on same as Doku, I think he's right to give Savinho minutes and time.
 
Don't see a CM happening unless we know Anderson has a release clause, a short term option does little for us

I think Semenyo in and Bobb out on a loan or sale with buy-back clause is a more likely window here and ill be alright with that

Nunes looks like hes going to be trusted a bit more at DM when Nico needs a rest and im OK with that for short term cover, which allows us to go all out for Anderson in the summer

But Semenyo surely takes Savinhos minutes anyway? I can’t shake the feeling the Soriano wants to show CFG signings there is a route to City and he’s prepared to make sure Savinho stays.

Don't beleive for a second Pep would give the minutes to Savinho he does because he's told to that is a mad idea. Savinho stays and plays because Pep wants it nothing else.
 
Still more effective than Bobb or Savinho though. I’d keep Marmoush over either of them.
He's not more effective if he is on the bench most of the time. I thought he had some good performances last season but this season he is not getting a look in.
His game time looks like it will depend on Haalands fitness
