PaulC Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 nearer 3 really, but why would he question his position, he's part of the future of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Can't see this one happening. If we buy another midfield player it needs to be a DM to replace Sanchez or Westwood. Veretout will add the creativity we've lacked from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We don't need him at this point. He plays in a similar position to Veretout as far as I can see, and we don't have the squad places for him. I think we're already going to have difficulty shipping off all of those we need to get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Unless TS wants a midfield diamond like .................Gueye.............. Gil............................Praet ................Veretout........... I doubt it. That midfield would get absolutely pummelled IMO. Plus every player in that is out of position.

VillaChris Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Veretout signing has killed this link I'm sure. Playing three new central midfielders in there is a big risk aswell, at least Westwood is pretty experienced in the league now so he had an important role to play this year.

Gueye is a box to box CM, Tout is a CM, Gil can play on the wing, and i dont know anything about praet : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarpie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 We might in for Praet if we get rid of N'Zogbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have Veretout in an AM role which he is naturally suited to as far as I know. Gil also isn't great IMO on the wing. Personally I would have it looking like this with the midfield 3 being quite narrow. Veretout Gueye Praet Gil All my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Praet is a CAM isn't he? He can play there but I don't think he does very often. I may be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Gueye can play as a DM, last season was his first with a licence to get forward more, or so I've read. Can't really see this signing happening, not really an area that's a priority to strengthen IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Apparently the bid that Sevilla had rejected was £4million! No wonder it was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Young Jack must be beginning to question his position at the club at this rate... He's a kid. he's just 2 years younger than Tout They also play in completely different parts of the pitch, so I'm not sure your point? Kid or not, Grealish is probably the first name on the teamsheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Yeah, all of the teamsheets on this page have no Grealish on them. I don't think we're regularly going to be starting without Jack. At this point I would honestly be disappointed if we signed Praet, we really don't need any more bodies in midfield. Some of those who we've signed are already going to be looking at limited game time. If we have to sign any more, they need to be upgrading players who were already here (ie, RB & GK), not competing with new signings.

sexbelowsound Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I think jack is who we are building this team around. The players we have bought provide him with less stress to be the main creative outlet. We are by far a stronger team now than last season. If we add praet that will be 2 out and out attacking midfielders in jack and carles and one who can play there and slightly deeper on praet.

And Jack will be rested this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gharperr Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Why cant it be ---------Gay------Veretout--------- Gil-----------praet-----------Grealish --------------Striker---------------------- with the 3 floating/interchanging when in possession? Amavi to provide width down the left. We might get destroyed on the counter though but sherwood doesnt care about defence lol + i dont think i want Grealish to start every game this season or be the main creativity man all the time. They get burnt out quite often. It seems to have hindered januzaj everyone putting so much pressure on him. And he played quite a bit on the left last season drifting in, right? *must learn how to spell Gay name * Leaves Ayew/gabby/sinclair/westwood/sanchez/bacuna to fight for places on the bench Edited August 1, 2015 by gharperr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Yeah good shout there. We have players who can play in different positions and ways. Exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
