Chelsea dropped a real clanger as it was them who took Sturridge from City and then offloaded him themselves, they did but Torres though who scored 20 goals in 110 games :lol:
My guess would be that Nketiah wouldn’t be deployed as the main striker, I could very well imagine he’d be wide of a front 3 with Trossard perhaps moving to the right. After some thought that could be a move that makes sense, we need more goals from midfield and our wide players, Eddie can...
We simply aren’t good enough to have an experimental 2-3 months, if we dick around using wonky formations and playing players out of position we are asking for trouble. Regarding the schedule “looking alright” , who are you seeing as the teams we could take points from, hopefully none of our...
This is a concern for me, starting the season using two players out of position. Yes, we can play March at LB but for me he’s far more suited to LWB, Veltman can play at RB, but again he’s more suited to CB. To have no full backs in the squad seems puzzling, perhaps it’s a strategy and Potter...
Shades of Rhian Brewster to me but without the successful spell in the Championship. I’m not against the signing, but he wouldn’t necessarily have been my first choice.
Did we know Ben would settle straight in? Just like we don’t know if Ostigard will, he looks like he could be a good player, be lucky if he’s on White’s level though.
Yes, we have midfielders who have filled in at RB, not exactly the ideal way to start the season. Potter has my sympathies...
With Lamptey out indefinitely you can discount Veltman from that group, leaving Potter the selection headache of a centre back who he doesn’t/didn’t want and a kid who’s never kicked a ball in the Premier League. Lucky old Graham.
I think it would be safe to assume we wouldn’t have signed Welbeck if we’d have secured Nunez, Watkins or McBurnie, and we shouldn’t really pretend that Zeqiri played a big role or made a big impact.
Out of interest, there’s a lot of people in this thread grumbling about its existence, what exactly were you expecting it to be about? If it’s what you thought it would be why bother opening it?
