Is Digne going to throw the head up and ask to leave if Emery signs a new first choice LB?
-
Nico Williams was in the Spain squad at WC, must be very highly rated to make the squad at his age.
-
I don't think he's been a bad signing, but not great either, especially what we paid for him. If we could break even on him i'd take it.
-
Should probably be moved to Other football.
-
These games will be ideal for Coutinho. The speed of Bailey will not be required to break these teams, but Coutinho's vision will be.

Wonder will Gary Neville have any issue with that if United start winning trophies again with Saudi money.
-
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if someone like United panic bought him if they don't get any of their main targets.
-
I think Emi will be back in for Wolves, and Olsen will start against Stevenage. If UE does decide to stick with Olsen for Wolves and Stevenage, then Emi will be back for Leeds.
-
Tough to call who will go down, it's pretty tight from 13th down. I think we are just at the edge of officially safe in 12th. If I could pick 3 to go down it would be Leeds, West Ham and Wolves.
-
I get what you're saying, goal scoring forwards rather than out and out strikers in the mould of Salah or Neymar. But Sarr and Deloufeu have never been those type of forwards.
-
But he's still not a striker. He's playing in a deeper role in a front two, similar to Bailey. We have 3 strikers in the senior team, Watkins, Ings and Archer. We can't get rid of two and only have one.
-
That's what I thought.
-
You would be replacing 2 strikers with 2 wingers in that case. We would still need a striker if Ings and Archer left.
-
If Ings does leave, then we must be at an advanced stage of negotiations with a striker already. no way we would let him leave if we didn't have someone lined up, we would be an injury away from only having Archer as a striker. Hopefully a deal is close for Thuram.

Good analysis of how Emery operates, still can't believe we have a coach who knows what he's doing, it's surreal.
-
Think you could put a traffic cone there to mark him. Doesn't he normally play on the right anyway? Would be Digne he's up against.
-
Could be. This season he's coming off a long injury and a change of manager and playing style though.

Danjuma is more of a finisher rather than a creator, was Villarreal's top scorer last season. I think we have creators in the team, so my preference would be a finisher. Danjuma will cost though, so Delofeu would be the cheaper option.
-
Big time, the new owner flashing the cash thinking he's Roman Abramovich. You only have to look at United to see that throwing money at it doesn't work. It would be nice to see Chelsea drop out of the 'big 6' back where they belong, although it would seem their spot will be taken by Newcastle.
-
I think they would both be good signing, and fit Emery's system, Danjuma would be more expensive though but is younger.

Will be interesting to see if their fans accept that, as they are used to competing for trophies. Also be interesting to see if their owner accepts this transition period, it will defeat the purpose if the go through managers hand over fist in that 18 month period. As @Zatmanhas said, this seems like the start of their decline, hopefully they waste a few hundred million in the process.

Is there a bigger whinger in football than Jurgen Klopp? Can't stand him.
-
It's still a 442
-
Yeah, he managed him at Valencia.
