YorkshireBlue 3,345 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 34 minutes ago, Jype said: You just basically described Kurt Zouma and he was sold because those attributes didn't make him a good enough defender for what Tuchel and pretty much every modern top manager wants from his defenders. If a team is looking to control the game and rarely needs to have defenders pull some last ditch tackles or constantly clearing crosses in the air, having a defender who's 10/10 in defending and 6/10 with the ball on his feet is nowadays considered worse than someone who's a solid 8/10 at both. That's not me saying anything about Pau Torres btw, just a general observation. That's fine and we'll but for my personal preference defending always should come first priority then how good you are on the ball after. Never the other way round.

Look at City for example, apart from maybe Dias those defenders and keepers are relatively vulnerable 1 vs 1 but barely ever get exploited because they prevent well getting into those situations in the first place. I've bascally described our new Koulibaly to tee and he also can play the ball. Again your right dias is another brilliant defender. Silva aswell to an extent Rudiger was also in that category flip side AC was the ball playing centre half and 9/10 times had us pulling our hair out.

Pizy 19,280 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Pau Torres just looks bang average to me. And Badiashile looks worse than average. Torres I would take as a last resort panic buy but I’d rather not buy anyone and stick with Chalobah as a starter than blow money on Badiashile. But I hope it hasn’t reached that desperate phase yet. Let us pray that we’re still after the top guys remaining like Skriniar, Gvardiol, or Fofana. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sport - in Spanish) Anyone may explain what the (logical) reason why de jong, could actually like and have strong desire to join us? Our current team not in strong condition to challenge for big title. Need a lot to rebuild, And also I assume, de jong thrive when play in possesion based team who play fluid football. But our team don't have that atm. This team doesn't play expansive/exciting football as good as the other elite club like (barca, bayern, liverpool, city). We are actually one of the poorer team when having possesion. Lacking quality player and lacking team structure to know what to do with the ball, a bit dysjoint attaking play, slow build up, etc. Or simply just ignore every de jong rumours, because those rumours just completely non sense?

Jype 6,398 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Hope it's true that Morata stays at Atletico. It was said last night Juve's first priority is to sign Morata back but as an alternative they'll look at Werner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it as that: - FDJ would prefer to stay in Barca - but if Barca force him out than two clubs intersted in him is us and Man Utd (I don't know why Bayern is not interested, propably don't want to overpay for him) - so it's us vs Man Utd - both clubs need rebuild, Man Utd has as many holes as us, had bad season, new coach etc, so it's not like they are stable great project (maybe next year it will be different if Ten Hag will stabilise things up). And propably the biggest advantage for us this season is that we have CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine the scenes if they had to loan us Raphinha or Kounde for a year 😂 bluesman2610 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 2 hours ago, Pizy said: I bet you anything that even our current players are wondering to themselves what’s going on and they know we haven’t strengthened nearly as much as some of our rivals. Another day where it doesn’t look like there’s any movement. Have we done great in terms of getting close to the big two? Probably not. But I'm really not getting the hype over the North London duo (Spurs i sort of get because of Conte but that's about it). Most of the signings they've made would have caused a meltdown here, especially if K2 ended up in one of those places. Jype 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuds, Arse, and United haven’t made any spectacular signings or anything but they’ve all improved significantly on paper. Tuchel and many of our players have been talking about cutting the gap to the top 2 for a while now. They’re probably wondering like we are how we’re down to under 2 weeks until PL kickoff and have basically treaded water, if not taken a slight step back.
