I think he has got plans for CHO, although he didn't play him in the clutch games his tactical lecture after the City game alone shows he sees something in him. That said I'm hoping with a little more time on the training ground we will see different formations to suit particular opponents more next term, maybe 3atb for the big games and 4 for the games against teams we're expected to beat, bit like how England did it at the Euro's. I personally was only okay with RJ moving to RCB if we brought in an exceptional wing back like Hakimi. He was an absolute game changing sort of player. If we do so now what happens to AC who we want to lock down to a new contract? He has become a much better player recently and is too good to be riding the bench.

I think we won't have to worry about that much next season, the sheer volume of games combined with an intense season and a bit previous means almost everyone will have a big role. Personally I believe RJ is better in RCB in that formation, even at right back in a back four he likes to drift inside a lot and he will have a lot of good opportunities to cross and possibly even shoot in the half spaces like Azpi did/does in that position.

Pizy 18,941 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Remember all the weeks and weeks of trolling and banter from the Leverkusen admin last summer during the Havertz saga? Christ, I hope we’re not about to start that bs again with BVB and Haaland. Wish they’d just put us out of our misery now and state definitively, 100% that he’s going nowhere no matter what we may offer. Maybe even hear it from the man himself. A whole window of grasping at hope only to come up empty at the deadline will be awful. Plus, there’s still the possibility that most people haven’t really been thinking about which is the Man City situation. Everyone has kind of just assumed that they’ll try for Kane but what happens if they come in and offer BVB £150m before we do? Kane didn’t seem too eager to move when asked about Nuno coming in. And Levy will be a nightmare to negotiate with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just anticipate we are going into next season with who we currently have. So long as City don’t get Kane I wouldn’t all that mind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy will price Kane out and he's only got himself to blame signing that big deal knowing the formers reputation, he can't claim to be blindsided like Modric was.

He punches the ball back into the danger areas, his positioning has not always been the best. He is a capable goal keeper but like I said if there was a choice to bin him for a sure generational talent like Donnurama I would not think twice. Think of that season we could have binned Cech for Courtois as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watched Milan games the last 2 seasons you will know the Euros are no fluke. He is as good as any goal keeper out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think given the price of Haaland it's one or the other, we won't be buying him and strengthening other areas. Or we end up settling on an alternative attacker but the options for this are extremely risky in my opinion and most will still command big fees which are quite frankly unjustified.

Werner/Havertz/Tammy unless Vlahovic can be had for a fair price, then, after Håland, nothing much interests me, as DCL is too expensive, same for a couple others the rest are big gambles or not good enough unless we try and make a move for Mbappe (IF we fail on Håland, obviously, as we certainly cannot buy them both, lol) we are insane if we bail out Barca by going for the 31yo-this-coming-season Griezmann, who is on a crazy salary (seen so many different quotes, from £500K PW all the way up to £750K PW) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
