Thank fuck TT realised how bad it was and still is. Yup. This was a bigger issue for me than the attack. Strike and dimmas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be more proactive against some opposition to finish higher up the table. Not sure if this is down to the system mind. 21 minutes ago, Kong said: It's 3 at the back hence 343. 5 atb is completely different. Wings backs are attackers as well as defenders you lose put on 1 player with 3. If you get a decent ball playing centre half in the middle then you loose nothing. There is a reason 343 is one of the most attacking formations you can play lol just because Pep n klopp have success with 433 doesn't make it the superior formation lol. Virtually every team that won the CL has played with 4atb, and pretty much the norm formation for top teams. Even Nagelsmann who heavily used similar formation changed to 4atb at Munich.

The main reasons I’m extremely skeptical about it are that United not only have his former manager who seems hell bent on turning them into Ajax by targeting all his former players, but they can also offer silly, ridiculous wages that I doubt we’d go near. I’m seeing stuff about £400k a week which is absurd. Plus, he’d be treated like a savior and hero there. Would he turn that down? There was word that he was not open to United but interested in a Chelsea move. If he was going to United, wouldn't he have signed already?

If he was going to United, wouldn't he have signed already? I think he’s been genuinely desperate to stay at Barca. But I’ve thought all along that Barca will essentially force him out and United would eventually get him because they were the only suitor. If we’re genuinely interested I have no clue who he’d prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,156 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Ronaldo leaving at H/T epitomises why I’m don’t want him in my team. No player is bigger than the club. I know there are reports that other players did the same, however I don’t buy it, or if they did it probably was taking example from what Ronaldo did and following his lead.

Vesper 30,298 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/steven-gerrard-carney-chukwuemeka-transfer-27642628 The reasons behind Carney Chukwuemeka's surprise move from Aston Villa to Chelsea have already been explained by Steven Gerrard. Chukwuemeka had entered into a long-running contract stand-off with Villa, refusing to sign a new deal. His current contract was set to run out next summer, with Chukwuemeka thought to have been keen to leave in search of more game-time. He has now been granted his wish for an exit, with the Blues set to complete a £20million deal with Villa. The move was announced on Tuesday night, with Chukwuemeka expected to travel to London to agree personal terms and undergo his medical.

Depay is a similar type of player that we have been linked to. Players that think they're better than the rest should even be considered. Lukaku was one mistake too many in that regard.

Pizy 18,994 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 If, and that’s big IF we signed De Jong I wonder what the preferred pairing in midfield would be. He and Kova would be the most exciting. He and Kante would be the most secure. He and Jorgi would give us total dominance of possession against just about anyone. Gallagher I assume would then be thought of as a more advanced midfielder who competes and rotates with Mount where he’s more effective anyways. Idk. Just seems a bit too good to be true. Midfield is the most crowded area of our squad and the last place the club would be looking to spunk down €80m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he think he'd get more game time at Chelsea than at Villa?🤦♂️ I bet it had more to do with hard cold cash than game time (+prospect of playing for the best club in the world, of course).

Which won't happen unless we use the back four. Playing 3 CMs in the back three leaves us short with the attackers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
