Delphinho123 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 6 minutes ago, Tomaszk said: The scariest thing about Suarez is it'll have to be two up front. That means no Buendia and loads of Coutinho. This is the end of Gerrard's fledgling managerial career if he blows this summer wasting money. He'll never get a higher profile, as well paid and well backed job as Villa. The two up front thing, I agree with. But does it necessarily mean we will pursue it if we sign Suarez? The way I see it, it allows us to sell Ings and then move back to a 4-3-2-1 (sigh) but have Suarez and Watkins as the two strikers competing in the system? I agree with you on most things Tomaszk but not necessarily on your view of Gerrard. I think he deserves a chance to put his own team together - even if the downside of it is huge should he get it wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player in his day but an absolute word removed who should have been kicked out of the game for his biting incidents Would be a low point as the guy is pure scum My son bit me this morning but I’m not going to be stopping him playing football. We all make mistakes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suarez cant move so will have to play with another striker to do his running If you look at United with Ronaldo well Ronaldo is still a lot more workrate and dynamism than Suarez can do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've told him as soon as he can kick the ball further than 10 yards, he'll slot nicely into our central midfield. Not sure I can incentivise him much more than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't have taken too much to have us up in sixth now IMO. Definitely if Jack had stayed. Utd garbage. Spurs and Arsenal undoubtedly beatable. West Ham, Leicester no better than us and had to contend with Europe. The money we're about to spend, no fewer than 55 points is acceptable. That'll have us in 7th or 8th next season. Hope we don't waste any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara would be a starter over Kondogbia. Kondogbia isnt really a guaranteed starter at Atletico Only started 24 league games in 2 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, and Atletico have a considerably higher wage budget than us. I just don't see why he would pick us over Atletico, unless he absolutely just wants to play in the Premier League. It's the same as the Kessie transfer, we had offered more than Barca, but we chose them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
