Pizy 19,282 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think Walker-Peters is the superior footballer to Dumfries. Tidier and more skillful on the ball. Don’t know which I’d prefer. Both are massively overpriced. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues11 213 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Hopefully Tuchel makes this work and doesn't get sacked. We'll potentially have an abundance for wingbacks because it doesn't look like we're moving away from three in the back anytime soon. For his system to work offensively you need a creative midfielder to drive the ball forward and a number 9 who can hold the ball and pick out passes. Harry Kane is a prototypical 3-4-2-1 striker but too bad those are rare. Lol Edited August 2, 2022 by Blues11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker too, far more than Cancelo MHO, he is a massive key to their defence, it is why they collapsed in the CL after he left the game and Walker is ageing (turns 33yo in May 2023), despite retaining (genetic freak) his insane pace (at his peak I really think he could almost keep up with Mbappe, and Alphonso Davies on Bayern is the only other fullback who can claim that IMHO, plus MAYBE Hakimi, who is hardly a WC defensive player, his worth is mostly offense) up until now, he is starting to get niggling injuries and can no loner go the full 90 minutes every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I’ve seen quite a few people around different places worrying about Tuchel getting sacked and leaving us with a bunch of players only suited to 3 at the back. If that happens I’m sure we’d just target the best obtainable manager who knows that system. Pochettino is currently out of work. If the unthinkable happens this year and we have a meltdown Mourinho season I think we’d get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I know we all hate him, but Kane would be a monster under the Tuchel system he is the VERY rare CF who can play all over the pitch to great effect he and Son (most underrated WC winger on the planet atm, and for years before, IMHO) are pure weapons, they carried Spuds for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the players we've signed or seem to be signing this summer are tactically flexible and shouldn't have issues adapting to a back 4 if required. Perhaps even more so than the players Tuchel inherited. Koulibaly is more suited to a back 4 than Rudiger was and Cucurella similarly would be more suited than Alonso as examples.

Bellingham is only 15 weeks older and FAR more advanced but yes, the potential to be a good to great player is there Rice and Bellingham are just SO crucial to my long term vision for us Rice should have been here YEARS ago, but Marina and our shit scouts insisted he lacked technical skills, which is madness if you just watch him for a few games, he is a special, special player losing either and the true nightmare, BOTH to other EPL clubs is part of my dystopian outlook should we end up there these are the top valued CMFs and DMFs ( I removed AMF's, so no ex Chels players like De Bruyne and Musiala, no linked AMFs like Nkunku, Bernardo Silva, or Wirtz) on T-Markt (Foden is NOT a CMF, no idea why they list him there) also no current Chels players, so no Mount, Havertz, Kovacic, Kante, Jorginho the ones in bold have been linked to us in the past 3 years Pedri (we were never truly linked, he is so not leaving Barca) Jude Bellingham Declan Rice Rodri Joshua Kimmich Federico Valverde Sergej Milinković-Savić (also an AMF) Nicolò Barella Leon Goretzka Gavi Aurélien Tchouameni Frenkie de Jong Wilfred Ndidi (overrated) Fabinho Eduardo Camavinga Fabián Ruiz (overrated) Youri Tielemans Sandro Tonali Carlos Soler (more of an AMF) Mikel Merino (very underrated) Marcos Llorente nathangeorge99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
