MC11 Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Would be great to get Doucoure, Allan and James in. The quality that adds to the midfield is tenfold. If we can sell Davies and Sigurdsson then that would be good business complete. I still think we need a striker though.

Maybe Davis but I’d like to see him around this season. He’s never played in a settled, well balanced team and I really think that’s hurting him and his development.

Would have done a better job last year than any of our midfielders for a fraction of the cost of gylfi. Good on him though, get a nice payout.

Cisk Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 So if our CM position is sorted by Allan / James / Doucoure signings (really going to get all 3?). What's next? - I think we still need an attacking RW and LB for cover as a minimum. Based on this - we still need to shift a load of players out too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I would say that we are weaker than other similar teams at CB, RW and then cover at left back. Right back will be up in the air a bit but we can address that in January if Kenny doesn't step up. GK is certainly up for debate as well but again I wouldnt address that straight away this summer unless an opportunity arose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I like the look of the new young lad at left back. He looked like he could step in and do a decent job. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 RB is fine for a season. LB could be a worry but only if Digne really gets done over. CB I think we’re fine, same with the forwards.

CB I think we’re fine, same with the forwards. If we can get Allan, James and a RW I’ll consider this window resounding success same for me. Allan and James sound like a go, just need that RW now. I don't think we will see it though. I think this is the lineup we will see Pickford Coleman Keane Holgate Digne Walcott Gomes Allan James Richarlison DCL We'll see Bernard/Gordon/Walcott as the RW tandem seeing action. James will be the main LW in Carlo's formation and maybe bernard will see some time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think we’ll be seeing Doucoure and Rodriguez sitting in front of Allan. Richarlison one side, Iwobi the other, with DCL up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hasn't Jamas mostly played on the right recently? Could see him as part of our solutions at RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 i don't get where people think we will play a 433 from. carlo's system is the 442. it's what we used most of the time. with richy and DCL up top it suits our strengths. I don't think we're getting doucoure, just a smoke screen to push napoli with allan. with gbamin healthy it's not needed anyways.

With different players we could very well play a different system. Plus, Carlo isn’t adverse to changing systems during games. Gbamin healthy? He’s not healthy now and hasn’t been healthy for more than a year now. We can’t count on him as of this moment. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I can see DCL losing his starting spot if he doesn’t start finding the net early in the season. Rodriguez could end up playing up front with Richarlison. Also if Doucoure does land Gomes could quite easily see himself sat on the bench in favour of a Doucoure Allan central pairing.

James is tiny and sleight, he also isn’t a forward. He’s midfielder.

I really dont see the issue in delph covering LB for this season "IF" the young kid cant quite step up yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
