That looks a terrific starting 11 to me. Im not sure it will look like that though and i say that because i havent seen Baleba in midfield in one preseason game yet.
Although I am absolutely delighted with our transfer window thus far (Gross excluded), I wonder if this coming season may be the toughest yet to achieve success.
The big 6 are what they are with even MU seemingly finding their feet again. Villa look a really strong outfit and Newcastle and West...
This one really has me baffled if I’m honest. I understand Gross wanting away and at a relatively low value of £10m, but Billy, why? I get he may not fit the FH way but he is a tried and tested, established Premier League midfielder. As such he warrants a far greater fee than that being quoted...
I think this would be a good move for Facundo. Undoubtedly he has potential but for me he hasnt come of age yet and as such he needs to knuckle down a little more and put the hard yards in to take him to that next level. Loan option with no purchase available would be my preferred option
Both Pascal and Billy are very good players and ideally I’d like to keep one of them.
It has to be remembered though that although they were 1st choice midfielders last season, the season before, they weren’t. Billy was bench warming and Pascal was playing in a number of different positions...
He is decent as a ball player knocking it around but sadly as a defender, he is very much found wanting... No pace, cant head a ball particularly well and cant tackle/defend. I think we got a bit of a dud here
A great 1st run out and something for us fans to get excited about. Given the mixture of youth and new players being introduced, it was more than i expected.
As others have mentioned, its going to be very difficult to pick a match day squad in not so long from now. Some good players are either...
Best player on the pitch 2nd half. Class act this lad. I can see him being very hard to dislodge for the left wingback berth, even when Estupinan is back to full fitnesss
