tsintskaro Posted 25 June 2016 Share Posted 25 June 2016 Even playing 4-4-1-1, we'll need at least 5 total. Assuming Inler and James leave, Kante stays, and Mendy signs, then that'd be 5 with Drinky, Kingy, and Amartey too, but Amartey is a bit of a utility player, and so it wouldn't hurt to get another young-ish utility player in. We'll likely have open spaces in our 25-man squad for the PL (Hamer and 1 CB (Moore or Benny) could be left off or moved on without a direct replacement). But if Kante leaves, then do you really think we'll be able to play 4-4-1-1 the same way? He was key to being able to play 2 in the middle. And I'm not sure he is a "drinky type". Yes, he is a good passer (and dribbler), but that's his highlight video... he seems pretty defensive in some of his positioning, and he's listed as predominately CDM rather than CM. well yes it's a problem,Kante did two man work and propher replacement will be diifficult as far so club is looking for players with good pass accuracy and who can hold ball not kante alike with great tackles and etc maybe 3 in that zone is future,but dunno,4-3-3 dont really work in last season i hope club do not struggle at the start of the pl before adapting to new strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albrighton and Okazaki ran themselves into the ground doing a lot of the work too. But they'd almost always be sub'd. They'd just be sub'd sooner... or we'd need another player to run himself into the ground but then that's 3 players getting sub'd for that reason and doesn't allow for pure tactical changes. We played 4-3-3 only really once last season, Chelsea away for the first 45. Yeah, it didn't work but I'd not panic if I saw it again. (Bournemouth away was more of a 4-5-1 and at home to Man City was 4-1-4-1 imo.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 25 June 2016 Share Posted 25 June 2016 He looks quality. I think amartey Won't be used in the middle of the park can see him being competition for right back since we haven't been linked with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy_jim Posted 25 June 2016 Share Posted 25 June 2016 I know you can't sign players based on YouTube clips but God he looked good. Big, strong good touch, seems perfect for the prem, only 22 must be good if Juve took him, get him in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s11nny Posted 25 June 2016 Share Posted 25 June 2016 If he is that good, why are Juve considering selling him? Probably don't need him and feel they are better off cashing out. They wouldn't of signed him permanently in April this year if they didn't think he was good. They activated the option to buy after the season long loan with them because they knew he was good enough for another team to see the potential and make a good profit by selling him on.

MPH Posted 27 June 2016 Share Posted 27 June 2016 I thought he was a central midfielder? A strong, hard-working, and dynamic right-footed midfielder, with solid technique and distribution, Lemina is a box-to-box player, who is capable of starting attacking plays after winning back possession. Due to his tactical versatility, he is capable of playing in several positions, and has been deployed as a winger, as a full-back, or as a wing-back, on the right flank; during his time with Marseille, he also played as centre-back in a three-man defence on occasion, during the 2014–15 season, under manager Marcelo Bielsa.[2][11][12][13] Despite his talent, he has also earned a reputation for having a temper and for lacking concentration at times.[2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
