FFS, we're gonna have Benjamin Beret-man running around in the middle of the park, like a headless French cockerel, wearing our shirt with a sh*te collar, next season, where Tielemans used to play aren't we!!!!!

Go and have a lie down mate

[Vindaloo FOX]

I think he would be class here.

 

Wilfred I'm hoping will be back at his best next season.

 

KDH is our engine.

 

Then we have Benjamin, a player who has a wizard of a right foot, his creativity will help us massively.

 

We might finally score some corners.

 

Kinda reminds me of Yohan Cabaye.

What would be wrong with Bourigeaud? Who else should we go for? 

Such a long answer to this question. Genuinely don't have the time right now, but in short; if you lose Tielemans, you've either got to tweek our tried and tested formations and change our apporch and strategy, or like-for-like get Eriksen.

8 million is not a bad price.

What reliable evidence highlights we’re in for this guy?

you genuinely have no idea what this guy is like but because you’ve not played with him on fifa you assume he’s crap.

A like for like!

Where Are we going to find someone a slow as Tielemans who rarely shows up for a hundred grand a week?

[Simoken]

i like him.

Eriksen isn't like-for-like, though. And surely getting Bourigeaud would be tweaking it? So I'm not sure what your point is, unless I'm being silly, which in that case I apologise. 

Up until this injury hit season just gone, we played with Ndidi holding with two number 8s (Maddison and Tielemans) either side.

Eriksen is a number 8, and it would suit him and us to go back to this system, if he was to replace Tielemans.

Shame I rated this guy.  Although our first signing last season wasn’t until 30th June there have been no credible links of players we’ve been after for ages now- bar CDK.  Something’s amiss IMO

No doubt we are working on bringing players in.

 

I feel alot of business will happen late on in this tranfer window.

 

At the moment it's just alot of negotiating going on.

 

And probably agents throwing out names and trying to get the very best deal.

But then you have KDH now in the mix too. I'm not sure what the solution is, but someone like Bourigeaud who can play CM and RM could be pretty useful if you typically have KDH, Ndidi and Maddison occupying the three central midfield positions.

Yeah, but it's a squad game. KDH will continue to get his chance as and when.

I'm a big advocate of having a system (and yes, also having plan B as well, which KDH can of course be a part of) and recruiting players to fit that system. Preferably 2 in each slot. 

I like 'square pegs in square holes'. It seems all problems stem from having to change system to accommodate injuries.

I agree mate; we’re always linked with A, B and C then from nowhere fee accepted and medical being done for Z from nowhere

Eh the threads hot! Isn't that evidence enough!

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Just sign him up by, we're getting desperate for a signing! 

 

Just ask him if he wants to play in England....EPL football and won't miss his family kids and friends and if he speaks the local lingo

What would that be? Missing out adjectives and being able to say 'Going toilet' rather than 'Going to the toilet'

Plenty of our team speak French.

As and when? I think KDH is a nailed on starter now. 

 

I'm not so sure the systems changing is the issue (obviously you don't want to change things week-in, week-out, but you can adjust things throughout a season), but more the drop off in quality to our squad players when you have multiple key starters out at one time, particularly in defence. 

Straight question; if we did nothing else in this window but buy Benny B and sold Tielemans, would our squad be stronger or weaker?
