Could do with a left footed CB too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If tagliafico doesnt want to come to us we could just cut out the middle man and buy ajax's ideal lb replacement.

Both of them need to start as many games together next year as possible if we even have a hope of replicating that success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but the form needs to return as Tielemans has looked much better without Maddison but I'm not suggesting one of them doesn't play most weeks just that 3-4-3 will be a system used against certain opposition of 3 at the back is the stock system we use.

Tielemans struggled last year because he plays best with a pacy forward making runs behind opposition lines in front of him, something that perez doesnt provide, not because of maddison. If we get a proper rw i guarantee you tielemans will return to form in the 4141 formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched quite a lot of games last season and I'd agree with this. This is where you expect the 200l a week manager to come up with a system that gets the best out of both of them most weeks. It was a joke shunting Maddioson out left, he'd have been as well dropping him as he was about as effective as an ashtray on a motorbike out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree but Maddison started dropping deeper and deeper as our form suffered and it didn't suit Youri being camped in our half with no creative outlet to get the ball to to create those openings that we were so good at. We started to go a bit more direct in 3-4-1-2 which if you drop Maddison in there behind Vardy and either Barnes or Iheanacho then hopefully we stretch play quicker and get Maddison and Tielemans pulling the strings again.

It's unlikely but having read the recent reports on how desperate Barcelona's finances are looking, it's not quite out of the question. If Messi doesn't leave or the contract situation gets into the courts, Barcelona will have to reduce their wage bill through sales or loans of other players. Looks like Rakitic is going to Sevilla but along with Messi, the other high earners include Pique, Suarez, Alba and Busquets who they may struggle to offload. And Barcelona's directors can be on the hook to pay back debts if the finances are mismanaged and they'll want to do anything they can to avoid having to do this. Bartomeu is someone who has gone back on his word regularly so wouldn't surprise me if he ultimately sanctioned a deal for us to sign Trincao. Also, don't get this 'we don't have money' claim - we supposedly bid 45m for Trincao even before the Chilwell sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 12 hours ago, Dahnsouff said: So let’s say that Brendan announces tomorrow that we will be playing with wing-backs this season so although we will be getting another attacker, it likely won’t be a winger. Thoughts? I would be disappointed we bought Castagne (assuming we do), if we're to play with wingbacks they should have as much end product as possible, which Castagne doesn't have. I'd think that it probably wouldn't work too well as a possession system tbh, and I'd be worried for the season ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be way off here but one thing that struck me about Tielemans last season is I thought he looked as if he was carrying a tiny bit more weight than he needed to. At elite level that can make a huge difference to match sharpness and form, I hope he's back in training at the moment in the shape of his life as that would make a difference imo.

Yh he looked a lot slimmer after lockdown and is looking trim now. Think this will be a much better season for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a left sided, more experienced (26-29 yrs old) CB is what they'll be after, you don't really want to sign a youngster like Fofana and have to throw them in with Cags and relatively inexprienced full-backs on the opening day. And a left footer would mean Cags can go on the right if we go to 3atb where he looks a bit more comfortable for me. Schmeichel Söyüncü Evans Hinteregger Ricardo Ndidi Tielemans Castagne Maddison Vardy Édouard With a second string of Ward/Jakupovic; Justin, Morgan/Benkovic, Fuchs; Albrighton, Mendy/Choudhury, Praet, Thomas; Pérez; Iheanacho, Barnes/Gray. Would negate the need for an additional attacking midfield player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
