  1. I'm bored, here's my fantasy transfers.

     

    Gk: ??, Joel, Stekelenberg

    RB: Coleman,??, Kenny

    RCB: Holgate,??, Pennington

    LCB: Williams, Mori, Galloway

    LB: ??, Baines, Garbutt

     

    DM: Schneiderlin, Barry, Besic

    CM: Davies, McCarthy, Gana

    AM: ??, Barkley

    LM: Mirallas, Lookman

    RM: ??, Bolasie, Deulofeu

     

    ST: Lukaku,??, DCL

     

    I'd only upgrade the 'keeper if there is someone better than the likes of Joe Hart.

     

    Back up RB if cheap. If not make do with Holgate and Kenny. Trippier and Cedric.

     

    CB would be a must. Hopefully someone from the Italian league who is used to playing in a 3.

     

    LB, if an upgrade is available.

     

    If McCarthy is done, go for Carvalho.

     

    AM definitely need some competition for Barkley, ideally an experienced player and not too good to keep Barkley out all the time. More someone to push Barkley to become the player he has the potential to be.

     

    RM someone like Redmond or take a risk on someone from la liga maybe Correa. Willian if he can be convinced.

     

    Back up striker. Assuming we keep Lukaku, doubt we'd get much quality as a second choice. Maybe stick with Valencia or go for an up and comer from the championship.

     

    Handanovic, Trippier, Rodriguez or Robertson, Willian, Sigurdsson, Kodijia

     

    I'd prioritise the CB, AM, ST positions.

     

    Not a fan of Gana? Seems more of a starter than a 3rd stringer.

  2.  

    Certainly was too early. Lookman at half was a good shout and Gana had the card, so I would have left Davies on for a bit longer.

     

    But credit to the manager for making changes. Was certainly needed, just didn't have the desired effect.

     

    Some goods points on both sides on the Davies/Barry swap. My point was that it was way too early. Certainly a key pass from Barry would have helped but waiting for 45 mins and it never happening while supporting his slow pace made for some boring viewing.

  3. Certainly feel that he has looked his best on the right side of a back three. He is energetic. Gets up and back but sadly does not have the same effect as Coleman in the final third.

     

    Noticed everyone saying he should be playing CB but in no way does he displace Williams for me. Williams has that right sided CB spot on lock when we are using four at the back. Bet Koeman feels the same way and it's why we see Holgate at RB.

     

    I am stoked we have someone so young and versatile in the squad. Getting experience and certainly has room to grow/learn.

  4. Agree, didn't really get the Davies-Barry swap.

     

    Certainly was too early. Lookman at half was a good shout and Gana had the card, so I would have left Davies on for a bit longer.
