Watching Chelski lastnight they had pace and strength throughout the team. We need to match this to improve. Too many lightweights at the moment easily brushed off the ball
[Albion] Line up to start 24/25
- Thread starter Berty23
- Start date
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
That's what £1bn will get you I suppose
I like Adingra too , however his defensive work is not so good. Hopefully this aspect of his game will improve.

With the Euro's happening in just 4 weeks time, is it more likely any new additions are more likely to arrive post the tournament?
Could this force a lot of transfers towards the late stages of the transfer window?
Suspect other than Osman, I can't see many movements in until early August in all likelihood. Same for most clubs though.

So nobody on this thread expects Osman to be around the squad next season, then?

Maybe not ready for the start of the season, but I'm looking forward to
Bart
JPVH, Dunk, Igor
Hinsh, Gross, Barco
Enciso
Mitoma, Pedro, March
Bench
Steele
Lamptey
Veltman
Webster
Gilmour
Estupinan
Baleba
Buonanotte
Welbeck
Ferguson
Adingra
and that's without any new signings or U23s stepping up. I think we're gonna need a bigger bench
No DM/Pivot in your first team, no one with pace and power who can tackle to protect the CB’s = a recipe for more of the PL same, a win every 6 weeks.
Our CM is crying out for an overhaul.

How soon is now?
Or Sima
Dunk has been surpassed by JPVH, If we're to progress then we need a new Dunk, quicker and smarter . . . . . I'm sure he knows it already . . . . sad as it is to say, no one plays forever
except Keith Richards. . . . . . .

Old Brightonian
Verbruggen
Hinshelwood-Hecke-Dunk-Barco
Gross-Gilmour
March-Enciso-Mitoma
Pedro
As it stands with everyone fit I'd pick something like that.Hinshelwood-Hecke-Dunk-Barco
Gross-Gilmour
March-Enciso-Mitoma
Pedro
He really hasn’t. Dunk is still our best centre back, by a distance.

Highlighting the slowest CM in the PL.
But possibly our best 11. Has Barco in these cameos that he’s a quality defender?

JPvH has been our best CB this season quite comfortably IMO. Great to see Webster back showing what a good player he is in recent games too.
The team line-up for our first Premier League match in August will surely indicate a return to RDZ’s favoured 4-2-3-1 formation if he has been backed in the window.
Whilst sorting our injury issues out will be a big focus (why so many?), there are areas on the pitch that just need strengthening.
1. Our best CM partnership (Groß & Gilmour) is not top 6 quality. We need at least on very good acquisition to join them.
2. We need a top level RB. Veltman is solid but unspectacular in an attacking sense and Lamptey is mostly injured.
3. If Barco is not up to challenging an in-form and fit Estupinan for the LB position yet, we need another with Perv out until the Autumn leaves start dropping.
4. We need another left footed right winger as quality back-up to Solly March.
5. We need a new CB with elite pace to stifle some of the breaks that can really hurt us.
Ideally, we’ll start the season with something like this…
———————Verbruggen———————
New RB—-JPVH———-Dunk—-—New LB
————Gilmour———New CM————-
March—————-Groß————-—Mitoma
————————Pedro————————-

Just for info he’s indicated Solly out until September at least

Exactly so imo it’s an unreasonable comparison
I can’t keep up anymore! The messaging seems to change after the press conference as hacks try and work out what exactly De Zerbi meant or implied!
