I remember United thought they had signed John Ob-Mikel, and he backed out last minute and signed for Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I so want this one over the line, it's a massive massive signing that will propel us from lowly 4th to better things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroVillan Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 What a bloody exciting period after the season ending!! Just hasn’t stopped and we’re at pre season games already, no time to breathe. i honestly believe we’re a Todibo, Felix and Kayode signing away from giving the top a real shake. If we’re able to sell Diaby, Durán and Moreno then that’s a real possibility too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to "go after" Utd, to have a chance of winning, and on so many occasions, we haven't done that for large parts of the game. We are now signing players, who are equipped to stop players playing....so they will find us harder to play against.

We might have potentially more strength in depth, but a lot of raw young talent who might not adapt well to the Premier League and some may not be good enough in their first season for us. We are definitely taking risks that we have so many new faces. We also don't know whether Buendia, Mings and Ramsey are back and whether they are actually going to be better than Lenglet and Zaniolo. Lots of risk that we are weaker than last season, though of course lots of potential that we are better as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a couple of games where, it's scrappy, and we simply get outmuscled and out fought. Teams we are " better than " on paper as well. We need a few strong characters who grab the game by the horns and fight fire with fire till we turn back the momentum and can play our game When we are at our best, with our strongest squad ( even last season ) we can be so good that not even physicality can beat us. However we won't always at our best, and all opposition is different, so we need the muscle to take us over the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the spurs home game it just did not make any sense why we did that in those three games. We all knew what was gonna happen. Funny thing is those two games are our final two gamss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we compared our team with second part of last season we’re definitely better now. Squad wise we’re even better than the beginning of last season. Kamara is still here so there is still a room to improve our 1st eleven during the season as well. Really excited to see what can happen, the physicality of our team will change. Most of our new signings will add that, even corners and set pieces will be looked at differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once onana is over the line we have balanced the sale of Luiz out with a different type of midfield player but once we sell Diaby we are weaker unless we buy someone of equal ability not just potential so I agree with your caution.

That is a better trio than we had, CM has been improved. Add to that the forward and wide mid options added means Tielemans probably be used mainly in CM now too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby played 54, scored 10, assisted 9… time will tell but I hope Jaden gets those numbers next year, that would be very impressive Edited July 19 by alreadyexists 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he will kick on next year and his ceiling is far higher than Diaby, IMO will be in the hunt for player of the season, quality thrives around quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
