Steve Earle Posted 30 June 2021 Posted 30 June 2021 The money can be made to work if we don’t spend anything on our LB & CB and we’re prepared to add most/all of our EL revenue to our ‘usual’ annual net spend. But if, miraculously, we start next season playing 433 with Barnes & Berardi either side of Vardy, we’d have literally no one at anywhere near their level as cover/rotation. Which, among other reasons, makes me doubt this.

Which, among other reasons, makes me doubt this. Bertrand on a free and a centre back (such as Tah) on loan? Even if we didn't sign Berardi and got some other winger in, I can't imagine we would then go out and get yet another winger for cover/rotation - most likely next season our cover/rotations options will be Albrighton, Perez, Sowah, and possibly Daka (although he isn't really a winger) 1

If not them, the drop in quality from Barnes/Berardi to Albrighton/Perez is sobering,
simon789us Posted 30 June 2021 Posted 30 June 2021 Carnt see this one but what a statement of intent if we somehow manage to pull this off together with daka soumare and probably bertrand and of course a new 5 year contract for youri

Beechey Posted 30 June 2021 Posted 30 June 2021 Imagine Barnes, Vardy//Daka and Berardi as a front 3. That's completely filthy. 2

The logic of this however is that unless Daka or Nacho play wide, and I don’t think they will, we can only really play full on 433 with Barnes & Berardi. An injury or a rest for one or the other probably entails a change of shape. 1

Although we all know Sowah is going to come in and be another Harvey Barnes, so no worries really Edited 30 June 2021 by moore_94

Dare say there’d be games when e.g. Madders, Perez or Kevin gets the nod ahead of one of them for this or that tactical reason. Flitting between 433 and 4231 could work very well. It’s survivable! As for Sowah, let’s see! Edited 30 June 2021 by Steve Earle Omission

It's like trying to resist touching the hot glass in a chip shop. Not only does he score a lot of goals, he creates a decent amount and his work rate defensively will give Brendan a stonker. Not happening (imagine if it does) In your opinion is he the best RW we've been linked to so far? Ahead of Trinicao as he's ready made at 26?
