The Squad planning thread

Christ he looks absolutely ridiculous! Proper Viana signing as well.

Brazil are about to have a golden generation there's so many big talents in Brazil all at the same time. Not just one wonder kid but 7 to 8 all playing at a high level in Brazil

Us having a club and network there is going to be extremely handy then!

Nah they've had their day. "Samba" (fanny) football is so easy to counteract by more balanced, organised sides.

We are apparently one of the clubs really interested in Eduardo, he's 16 years old been compared to Henry. He looks an unbelievable talent. 40 million price tag

Looks a bit ball greedy….:….

 

[foggy1974]

Anderson and Tonali seem to similar . Getting both makes no sense to me. I rather have a player that can turn easily in CM like pedri, Vitinha, Bernardo or Camara from Monaco. Thats the type we also need.

Isn't that O'Reilly

German news saying City are one of the clubs with big interest in Said El Mala

Sure this isn’t the first time that’s been said either so probably scouting him heavily. That said we scout a lot of players.

Dont know much about him but a quick search says 6”2 winger and sounds like a cracking player.

19 years old with 10 goals and 2 assists in the league. Brighton are targeting him too so it might be that we want to grab him before his price rises. Been compared this season to a young Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman

Who do we blag to take Savinho then? Spuds?

Everton also interested so that may affect Grealish being an option for them next season.

No, they want Trafford.

I'd say you can't sleep at night, thinking of Savinho.

Lol, i just dont see him making a big enough improvement in our team mate?

 

[bell_mcfc]

Dont think it would shock anyone.

I’m saying. Cherki and Reijnders play 10’for us going forward meaning out wing options are

Foden/Doku/Semenyo/Savio

Obviously Marmoush, Cherki and Reijnders can also play there.

I know Bernie also played a lot over the years for us as RW but we seem pretty good at the moment unless someone leaves.

No idea whether Savinho stays or goes, but think if we buy another winger that can play across the front 3 it will be to replace Marmoush, though it could be to replace both.

Marmoush must be asking questions about his role in the future?

The question for Marmoush is where does he play when Haaland plays and the truth is unless Pep plays 2 strikers which he only did when as he says he lost his wingers then he doesn't play.
If he does go then think we will replace him with another Semenyo type player that can play anywhere across the front 3, who that is I have no idea,but in that case it would be another player that can play wide and leave less need for Savinho also.

Semenyo.
Why buy a Semenyo type player when you have already have him?

 

[blueparrot]

Semenyo.
Why buy a Semenyo type player when you have already have him?

Because a forward that can only play as astriker will go the same way as Alvarez and probably Marmoush. What we need is a player that can play wide in rotation with Doku and Semenyo, so can play either side but also when Haaland doesn’t play can play as a more central striker so needs good finishing and still leave us with 2 wide players. That profile of player is also what Semenyo is but we need 2 of them to give us depth, across the front line.
