Kind of shocked, were so light especially on the left hand side and up top. Think we might be waiting to see if Coutinho leaves first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's a case where they desperately want him gone. IF he could stay fit and get a run of games together, i'm sure they wouldn't mind keeping him. It's his wages and questionable fitness more than anything why they would probably be ok with him leaving, to bring in someone more reliable or a younger " project " imo.

Because they’re a well run club, earning big money and spending smartly. They have a system that would show anyone that he’s good. Fair play to them. We’re doing our way as well, and hopefully we’re much better and sustainable. But we can’t deny what they’re doing. They have money to spend as well.

Popular Post Monkeypuzzle Posted August 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 We are not short of players anywhere. Even with Mings and Buendia removed and Coutinho sold we have two players in every position. Watkins/Duran McGinn/Ramsey Diaby/Zaniolo Bailey/Traore Luiz/Tielemans Kamara/Dendoncker Moreno/Digne Cash/Chambers Torres/Lenglet Carlos/Konsa Martinez/Olsen Are there players there that can be upgraded? Certainly, especially by returning Tyrone and Emi. But one window at a time. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, especially by returning Tyrone and Emi. But one window at a time. I keep forgetting about Traore. Looking at that I'd say from that we're weakest on the right forward position (granted, Diaby and maybe McGinn can play there too), not the left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeypuzzle Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 When Buendia is back though he returns to the left, where he was playing in preseason so well and McGinn moves across either to the middle or the right. With Diaby and Zaniolo taking up the middle and right roles most games anyway it means that we have Ramsey, Buendia and McGinn fighting it out for the last spot on the left and two of them plus Bailey as back up with Traore probably out the door next Summer. Not really any weak spots at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Myron Boadu is available from Monaco, I remember when he was at AZ he was rated quite highly. He’s dropped off a bit since joining Monaco(not sure why) and they are probably selling him due to getting Balogun. I’m sure Boadu can cover LW and can play ST, he’s also right footed as well. I wonder if he’s under consideration, especially since Emery likes to work his magic on players that are underperforming 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really any weak spots at all. Might be interesting to see McGinn playing more as the second striker too with Diaby wide right. Cash did a great job there too at the weekend (was the right selection for the opponent - a far cry from the days when a McLeish selection with two right backs would elicit widespread groans) Edit: but then again, just imagine what Emery could do with Hutton in this system...
