No offence Rachid. It gets Iheanacho and Vardy in the team together. Plays to Ricardo and Chilwell's strengths. Maguire absolutely excels in a 3, as well as Soyuncu by the sounds of it. Obviously Puel hasn't played this formation at all in pre-season, but he's had no Vardy or Maguire and perhaps he finally sees this as an option to get the most out of certain players. I personally think it would be our best formation and a system that gets our best players out on the pitch. That is most definitely the formation I'd go with, nice blend of defensive and attacking play. Can't help but feel Maddison, Nacho and Vardy would be a deadly attack 3
HighPeakFox Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 Hot thread, anything actually happened that we know of? I'm not trawling through pages of crap worthwhile discussion.... 1
RowlattsFox Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 If we sign both I wouldn't be totally surprised if Benkovic heads straight own out on loan someone in Europe perhaps. If we keep both in the first team squad then clearly Puel has seen the light with Morgan and cannot trust him anymore or Maguire is going. Championship clubs are going to pick up some nice loan signings from us before the end of August.
CarbonVirtine Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 I'm kinda somewhat overwhelmed at the moment. Nose bleed stuff. Buying players for the future. Benkovic AND Soyunco.... is this really us??

I personally think it would be our best formation and a system that gets our best players out on the pitch. Would love that. This is the first time I've been truly excited about the season. We've always struggled breaking teams down. But with fast one touch football from the centre halfs, we can lure the opposition, release Chilwell and Richardo down the wings, find Maddison and let Iheanacho slot it home. Hamza for defensive support. Possibly by going one up front. If Puel can work his horse whispering magic on Ghezzel he'll be good attacking option, not to mention Gray and Diabate. I'm excited by Iheanacho and Maddison too. Iheanacho was superb at Man City when he has midfield support. With Maddison he may finally have that.
Tielemans63 Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 The best thing about signing Soyuncu is looking on Twitter and seeing just how salty the Arsenal fans are that he's joining us and not them. Apparently he was a top target for them 3
Ted Maul Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 Here's a theory- we failed to land our entire 10-man shortlist of wingers, so have decided to change formations 2 days before the start of the season. 1 2

Saxondale Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 I'm wondering if Johnny Evans is going to be a bench warmer TBH.
TonyN11 Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 Really feel sorry for all the other teams - they won't stand a chance (apart from Manchester City and possibly Liverpool) 1 2

MPH Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 I wonder how this AND Benkovic fits in with the theory that there's no money in the wage budget?

dpjfox Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 under 23 yo so dont need to go into official 25 list
Foxxed Posted 8 August 2018 Posted 8 August 2018 (edited) Benkovic looks a cert now. And if this guy comes, and we don't sell Maguire, we'll have six centre halfs. Either we're selling Maguire or we're going three at the back. Top didn't sell Mahrez in the last window. Puel didn't sell Van Dijk. And Puel wants ball playing defenders. If this guy comes looks like three at the back to me. Edited 8 August 2018 by Foxxed
