VillaJay Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Just now, Wes said: Are you keeping Archer in this scenario? If we lose both Duran and Diaby, I think they both need replacing for their respective roles in the team. Can't see both being replaced, Id imagine we'll bring a forward player like Felix and Philogene will replace Diaby, we simply don't have the space in the squad. We're also putting 50m on Onana which needs to be accounted for too for next season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I’d assume if we let Diaby and Duran go we will bring in a utility striker who can play up front and also off/ behind Watkins. I’d love to see Alvarez come in but I think that’s a pipe dream. Maybe Max Beier is a good shout but is a big risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvarez (or someone like him) would be ideal I would think. Can play with ollie or instead of him. That would be the type of player I'd be interested in.

MotoMkali Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 3 hours ago, RicRic said: I don’t understand this, Mcginn is not a forward player he plays more wide in a slightly advanced right midfield position and does not have any interference with those positions in any sense. Watkins Ramsey/Rogers Bailey Tielemans Mcginn Kamara/Onana No that's not how we lineup. Bailey makes it slightly different because he hugs the touchline, but if Bailey and Mcginn are playing together Bailey will usually be the RM and Mcginn will be the RAM. The role diaby often plays. Though the defensuve assignment is reversed a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah essentially we play a 42211 with the 1 behind watkins a wide right or wide left player but not both and usually it's Bailey wide right. so ------------------------watkins---- --‐------------‐-------------------------------Bailey ------Ramsey/Morgan-------mcginn------ ----------onana------‐-kamara/tielemens--- That said Emery is a genius and I suspect has more than one formation I mind with players he's now brought in.

Jenko#4 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 If Duran and Diaby go, I see Rogers being the Duran replacement/cover for Ollie. We then have Ramsay + one other for the left hand side, Buendia + one other for the #10, and Bailey + Philogene for the right hand side. That then leaves us needing a player who can play as both a #10 and a left sided attacker, ideally a ready-to-go marquee signing who is better than we have in those two positions, and as the cherry on top, a player who helps fill the Champions League homegrown list. Any thoughts? Duran and Diaby will raise £70m. A certain Brummie lad with a point to proves book value is now £40m I reckon, so that’s two years wages covered as well. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything goes in the Transfer Thread. No Twitter profile is supposed to be used to start a new Player Thread, and that's also when the Blacklisted sites are then supposed to be enforced. Though I'm not sure any of those rules are implemented nowadays, but either way, it's always been anything goes in the transfer thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
