Pizy 19,282 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 31 minutes ago, OneMoSalah said: Na, lazy lazy players will never work with Poch. Can’t think of one player outside his time at PSG (no manager was going to get those 3 to press) who was of that ilk and did well. Not one. Ndombele was one he tried at Spurs and that went wrong because he was nonchalantly lazy. We just complained all season about players not putting the effort in - would just be 1 step forward 2 steps backwards if we get a player of this ilk. All Poch’s attacking players at Southampton and Spurs, bar the season he was sacked, led from the front very well. Even Rickie Lambert had to get onboard with it and he was in his 30s. And complained virtuously as was stated on a podcast. Chekri is Good on the ball but an absolute passenger off it from what I l’ve seen. Acceptable at Lyon maybe when your the golden boy and the teams built around you but that will never work here with Poch. And all the top top teams do not have passengers. Thats why Klopp and Pep’s sides have been so good over years - because they don’t carry anybody. Cannot afford to have players like Caicedo etc doing double the work though when you can get all 11 boys to do it. That has to be the Poch mantra for this to work. Ok Kante did it here but he was an exception. I don’t think we will ever see the likes of what he could do as a player as that sort of midfield player again in our shirt if I’m honest. The days of building football teams and giving one player free rein/lesser duties is gone. Hence why United were so keen to get rid of Ronaldo. Hence why PSG have been so keen to get rid of Neymar. Hence why players like Fabregas and Riquelme have died out also more or less - because the good teams don’t carry passengers. Refresh my memory if I’m wrong, but Eriksen wasn’t exactly a pressing machine and doesn’t do much running or defensive work. And he was Poch’s key playmaker in those great Spuds sides. Could Cherki not play that exact role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressings pointless if 1 or 2 don’t do their bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,794 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Veiga is 6’1 and looks more robust as a midfielder than Cherki. He’s cheaper too lucio, Blue Armour and xPetrCechx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDA 10,241 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Have to say, Cherki isn't impressing me much in his highlight reel. Looks way to slow and doesn't do anything special with the ball. xPetrCechx and NikkiCFC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s cheaper too The only reason why I see Cherki doing well enough in the PL is because he's got dribbling ability and plenty of time to develop. Veiga would look bang average for most teams other than City/Liverpool (because they already have star players). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrenshah 186 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I would be happy with this window even if we just end up with Caicedo from now onwards. Just need to get rid of Lukaku, Auba, CHO and Ziyech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James as options too, for probably a 2 man midfield. Seems alright for a season with no Europe tbh. If Santos is going on loan and the view is he's not ready, then we should buy K. Thuram or similar.
