There are strong rumours that he may be off to Atletico. They don’t go big on dreadful defenders. Their entire philosophy is based upon having an impenetrable defence. Not seen him this season but last few seasons he always had a mistake in him. Blood and Thunder player that fans would like but has limitations. Leicester have been one of the worst defences in the league last few seasons That Faes is even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarty is pretty poor too. Rogers fell out with Soyuncu for some reason and so has hardly played him this season. Deano has bought him straight back into the team and he was motm yesterday. It will be interesting to see where he turns up and how well he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderball Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Ramsey is a big talent, big future for us and shaping up nicely but you can rely on a 21 y.o. to play every minute of every game at the consistency we require at the level we aspire to, it’s unfair on him. We need another player to play in that position. This is the case all over the pitch too. We will want to challenge for top 4 next year, the expectation will also be making a decent attempt at the two cups too, and we also want and should be playing in Europe aswell. We need more players for rotation or we will be floundering by February. Edited April 23, 2023 by thunderball 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially as we will have our championship youngsters fighting for squad places If we gonna get rid of so many players, we will need at least four more players so that we can improve the squad. I think we should keep most of our players (a coupl of exceptions) and get 5-7 players in, of which 4 are of huge quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I've always liked Suyuncu, I'd gladly have him here on a free. I think Emery is in a different class to Rodgers in sorting out defence/defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I have no idea who we’ll target for the backup, I’d like Fabianski at West Ham but he’s their first choice so doubtful he’d play second fiddle to Emi Is that much on an upgrade? I’d argue a fit Coutinho is on par (if not better) than Lee Kang-In. I agree @paul514 on your positions but I think the RB will be a RB/CB that can cover both the fullback and CB position, similar to Chambers but loads better quality (not suggesting him as he’d cost a bomb and he’s a short arse but Timber at Ajax) I wouldn’t have Goncalves as the SS though, I’d have him as the left wide midfielder. Didn't know that about the wage, I suppose it does make sense with him being contracted to PSG. I just looked for old keepers that can still do it. I get the reasoning, you basically want a Ben White in effect, I am betting that AWB can do it in this system he is such a lights out defensive right back. Goncalves on the left side of the midfield would probably be too attacking, the player behind Watkins can basically do what he likes and I feel for a player that appears to be so versatile, creative and a good scoring record that would be perfect for him.

On Wan Bissaka, thought his Sofa stats were interesting as defensively he’s actually got worse over the last 4 years. If we got him operating at his 2020 level then I’d be more convinced.

He’s only got 12 months left on his contract, United will have to sell him this summer unless they plan on offering a new contract. Might be cheaper than you think.

If it's Moreno on the other side then Right back just needs to sit in and be solid so AWB would fit that very nicely and he's still only mid 20s with 5 full premier league seasons behind him so we could do worse as his contract is running down now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a fantastic game for them in the week against Roma by all accounts aswell so more proven than just Dutch league. I still think we'll sign Guendouzi so not sure we have room for two new CMs but sounds an interesting player although Turks are a bit hit and miss in the premier league.

It's not where our money will make the most difference. 12 months left on his deal so they'll struggle to get more than 25-30m off anyone for someone who's largely been a squad player in last 18 months. I think they'll be following the Man. City model of just getting endless squad players off the wage bill, hard to believe Arsenal actually signed Zinchenko for only 30m last summer.

My understanding is both AWB and Dalot are out of contract in a year. They are going to have to sign one of them on a new deal and bring a new right back in. Odds are that contract will be given to Dallo as he can play the managers way IMO. The wages will doubtless be 100k or more the price would definitely be sub 30m maybe around the 20m mark. As far as defensive right backs go, I would put him up there with the very best around in football, but most people don't want a defensive right back they want a James or Hakimi. For me he is definatly worth the money edit - 'Apparently' his wage is 90k currently Edited April 24, 2023 by paul514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
