I'd be very happy with many players from both teams, even if they wouldn't make the 1st 11. If we had Pogba, we would be flying. Same with Auba or Lacazette. Ive said many times, wouldnt want pogba anywhere near our club. He is vastly over rated and absolute dick head. He is everything wrong with Man U right now. And i mentioned Auba in my comment but wouldn't have him over a fully firing vardy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still never gonna happen but a wise man once said “I want the fans to keep dreaming” If I were him I wouldn’t join Arsenal until they sorted literally the entire squad out first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireFox Posted 6 July 2019 Share Posted 6 July 2019 I'm still wishful that there's another winger coming in. Diabate, Gray, and Ghezzal (and Kapustka) all can leave/go out on loan. But then, unless we're really going to play a midfield diamond, Perez, Albrighton, and Barnes (and Maddison or Ricardo at times) won't be enough as wingers.

Mehrez Posted 6 July 2019 Share Posted 6 July 2019 I think it’s one area of the squad that still needs a bit of work, a lot of talk that we aren’t done in the market so I expect we’ll see a winger come in. There’s talk of another number 8 but I don’t really see the need, for the little game time they’d have (if any) I’d be happy to see someone like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall be pushed up, Hamza could also probably play further forward if needed, not ideal but if it’s means an extra £15 million going towards a top class winger then I’d be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember rightly his contract has expired and has refused so far to sign a new one. Someone like that a lo g with a winger like Ziyech, Sarr or Bailey (mildly unrealistic) then we are in unbelievable nick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness he would cost a bomb and I can imagine his wage demands are ridiculous. Doubt he'd consider us either.

I also wouldnt want anyone from Man U. Both teams have some absolutely horrible players. Interesting that these teams would snap up half our team but we wouldn't want much from either of them! And yet both teams finished an absolute mile from us. The reality is their players aren’t as bad as some make out and ours aren’t as good as some think (yet).

We were always going to be inconsistent with a young side, they were just...inconsistent less. Whilst i don't expect us to be faultless this coming season, we'll see a definite improvement from our side, it'll be debatable whether they'll be able to find that improvement.

GingerrrFox Posted 6 July 2019 Share Posted 6 July 2019 Convinced we are gonna see a shift in formation this season. I genuinely think a 4-4-2 diamond is on the cards. It makes sense. We have no real outstanding wingers in our squad but we are blessed with two of the best wing backs in the Prem and we have an abundance of quality in the middle of the park. Then we have the option to bring the likes of Harvey, Dimmy and Ihenacho of the bench. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that but with Barnes in Maddison's role, Maddison in for Choudhury and either Ndidi or Choudhury holding. Its then a very fluid line up that can play 4-2-2-2, 4-3-3 or 4-1-4-1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hamza’s a fully fledged starter this season. Brendan speaks highly of him and he brings things to our team that no one else does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see it when we have so many wingers and not enough cm’s to basically cover 4 cm’s playing each week... on top of the links to us wanting a winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the diamond is deffinetly an option but personally think only used tactically if certain game needs it but think 433 with 2 wide men is Brendan’s preferred formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
