There's nothing like the PL when it comes to tempo/pace and physicality/general fitness. Not even close. Strongly disagree. All the top teams in the bundesliga have a big physical midfielder that is hardly the case in the prem. City only really have rodri (fernandinho is 5'10 but his abity is more technical) Liverpool Fabinho but he doesn't play every game, then Chelsea don't have anyone, United have matic but he isn't exactly world class maybe mctominay?, Leicester have ndidi but again hardly a physical player. Every team in the bundesliga have a big and athletic midfielder and they are generally more competent in attack and defense than the ones in the prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just now, Keyblade said: It can work in a 4-3-3 where the 3 midfielders each have different roles, not necessarily the 2 holders/1 attacker dynamic. Similar to Ancelotti's midfields with Milan. Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso...all different kinds of players with different roles. Pirlo was the holder, Gattuso was the box to box terrier, similar to how I think McGinn should play for us. I would like to see Jack in the Seedorf role. Maybe not quite a free-roaming attacking midfielder, but of the 3 he's the one with the license to get forward and link up with the attacking 3. For me, it really all depends on how disciplined Dean can get McGinn to be in that midfield. If we see anything like we did earlier last season, then it's a no from me. That's the thing. I hate the idea of taking that bit of attacking instinct from McGinn. He does it so well. That first game of the season, I know that Tottenham defender was so confused when McGinn came roaring past the halfway line. Mcginn definitely needs more positional sense. He can get fixated on the ball at times and totally lose track of the opposition. Could he get to Gattuso's level? I would love it but I just can't see it. It's a difficult decision, no doubt. I honestly think it comes down to who can be bought for cheaper. One winger and a midfielder, which would keep Jack on the left. Or 2 wingers, which would move Jack to the middle. Attackers tend to cost the most and we already have to buy another striker. I just can't see us spending the funds needed for a whole new front 3. I'd rather spend big on 2 attackers and shore up the midfield with Prem level vet. Wil Hughes was top ten for successful tackles this past season. Someone like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Way out of our league but we could do with someone like Milinkovic-Savic Not necessarily a DM, but a strong physical presence who would benefit us in certain games and prevent us being overpowered etc. Someone with an eye for a pass and shot at goal (unlike Nakamba). Let’s sort that front 3 first though! Starting with Rashica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayk Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I’m assuming that John Percy tweeted about Ollie Watkins to Villa when mentioning the £18m release clause. Now im wondering whether he/The DT then denied the release clause bit because the ONLY way they would have known that is from DS? So, IF he does sign and it’s this ‘undisclosed fee’ BS then I reckon that £18m release clause was right. (Alternatively, this is my way of rationalising we can’t possibly spend the £25m on him Brentford are asking.......)

Rob182 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 2 hours ago, Philosopher said: Guilbert got outpaced by Sterling, Dnepro, Maximin to name a few. Those players are quick. Traore is a fifa cheat player. Could be an Olympic sprinter. No one compares to him in football when it comes to pace. If Guilbert gets outpaced by quick players he can't be that quick can he?! Sorry but as far as premier league fullbacks are concerned Targett is slow! To give you a factual answer... He can be. He just got outpaced by faster players. Like I say, I don’t think we’re agreeing on this point. So we may as well leave it. Good luck in your hopes for a left back that replaces our £14m leftback, while we also need to strengthen multiple other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
