Wherever it is easiest for him to get the ball and create for others. Look at how grealish plays under a manager he doesn't respect (Southgate). He stays on one side for 20 minutes doesn't get the ball then he plays as a free man and is the best player on the pitch by a country mile. Whilst i completely understand that you're entitled to your own opinion-i think you're completely wrong regarding Jacks best position and thankfully it would appear that Smith agrees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestions would be the following.... Buy Wijndal - AZ 15m Arrons - Norwich 25m Simakan - Strasbourg 20m Brandt - Dortmund 22m Olise - Reading 8m Buendia - Norwich 35m Edouard - Celtic 25m Total 150m Sell Taylor - 0 Elmo - 0 Guilbert - 5m Engels - 5m Hourihane - 5m Trezeguet - Difficult to value transfermarkt has him at 10m El Ghazi - Difficult to value I would say 10/12m Davis - Loan to drum up interest to sell the following year. Total 35m I think IF we did that in one summer I would go as far as saying we shouldn't spend anything in the following summer to give the players 2 full seasons to see what they can do and who needs to go and come in to improve the side.

sharkyvilla Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I wonder how ambitious we can go in looking for an attacking midfielder. That's where I would look to spend £40-50m to get the right man in. I'm not sure who it would be (on FM Milinkovic-Savic was my man ), Barkley is obviously most likely and hopefully available for less than that but I don't think you can guarantee 30 league games a season from him. Then a young left back, centre half and striker to develop and compete for first team places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we even start we may not have Barkley or Luiz, with the former loan ending and the latter if ManCity invoke their clause. So our midfield might need a rethink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I do agree Dean thinks his best position is left wing, I don't like how easy it was for West ham to completely nullify his threat last night. A player with Jack's World class ability needs a free role for me, starting from the middle. Let him pick the space he wants, let others work around him. I think Traore would fit that bill quite well playing from the right, and occasionally swapping into the middle as needed. Would need to work on his discipline but definitely has the ability. This would see us so hard to defend against. So my shopping list would be... A left winger A left back A central defensive midfielder And dependent on Wesley making it back or not, a striker I'd try and keep Guilbert as backup rb, and that saves an unnecessary rotation. The above would also mean moving Nakamba and Taylor on, along with returning Barkley. Sanson and Traore provide cover for Grealish, Grealish provides cover for our left winger and trez is the back up to Traore, who may also be a better fit against some opposition. AEG can stay or go on this scenario. Wes (or alternative) offers cover to Watkins, who in turn provides further cover across the rest of the front line. Beautiful...

Jack best wide left in PL since Hazard. Just because he has designs on #10 doesn't mean he's better there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I feel we're getting to the point where Wesley only might come back as strong as before. He was still a bit raw by the time he was injured and i think we need a more assured option B to Ollie. So...for me, striker is the top priority. Who that will be will also depend on our finish this season and not just our generous owners' pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
