You could let him leave then it is six/seven depending on how CHO is deployed. However, again as you indicate, we switch to a 4, we are needing more players for certain as you got to add a DMF. Plus, as much as I have liked what I have seen from my limited experience of watching Konate, what is the purpose of buying a very injury prone CB, and displacing AC if he continues as he is? Further, why would anyone give up control? It is lunacy. I know TT is flexible but there is no need to start making changes for the sake of it. Like I said and will maintain, unless everything goes to pot, we aren't and shouldn't be considering a switch away from 3atb. No way we let go of both Giroud and Tammy without bringing a CF in. So at the very least, it's 6. CHO looked great at LW against Everton also, so he is still going to be considered an option there. That is still 7 players for 3 spots. Sustainable? No way. The dressing room will be chaotic. Konate has had two lengthy spells both from the same hip injury. A year off of football rehabilitating, he hasn't had any issue. He was only out this season due to an ankle sprain. This isn't Pulisic we are talking about where he is getting injuries left and right from all different muscular imbalances. He's worth the risk, IMO. He wouldn't be displacing Christensen, he'd be displacing Zouma. It's not about giving up control, its about controlling the game whilst still getting the best out of our attackers, which this current system doesn't do. I'm not saying making changes now, I'm all for sticking with it to secure Top 4, go far in Europe and potentially win the FA Cup because it A, works, and B, it is still progressive football. My point is that as tactically flexible as Tuchel is, he definitely wants to experiment with other formations that get the best out of his attackers, as he has done so in the past. Rudiger/Zouma/Christensen are not top tier defenders for a back 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time however my feeling was that the best of his game was his power. His football finesse seemed lacking to me. Did you watch the game against UTD? I hope you did, I'm happy he showed up. That goal should've stood btw. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He controlled the tempo of the game, and he was defensively solid. As well as creatively the best player on the pitch. It's crazy how complete of a player he is. He can do the things Jorginho can, but he can also defend and he has goal contributions in him. He'd be a huge upgrade on the likes of Jorginho to be honest.

Azul 1,615 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) 16 hours ago, Jason said: After the rumours of us being very interested in Tchouameni as well, I think that we're going to sign a player from Ligue 1. That league has a lot of financial issues right now, because the TV deal they've had with Mediapro was worth 3.25billion euro's. Mediapro decided to go back on their deal in the second instalment of that payment, so all of the Ligue 1 clubs excluding PSG, that relied on this TV money during the pandemic are in a crisis right now. That means that Ligue 1 players will be very cheap. You'll see talents like Kamara, Tchouameni, Soumare be sold for 20-30m euro's. These players are better than Rice who's worth over 80m and we should sign them to be fair. Edited March 13, 2021 by Azul Alabama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Can see why we are heavily linked to Kamara and/or Kessie. Jorginho and Kante just don't cut it. The former is slow and can't defend, whereas the latter doesn't have the technical ability you want in a elite team that plays progressive football.

BlueGuy 10 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 we need to improve heavily our attack for next season. IMO it's necessary a striker and someone with skills to dribble and create number superiority. I would sold: werner and one between abraham and giroud, then Ziyech. keeping CHO, pulisic and mount. For me Dybala could be a good upgrade: can play like 9 or 10 or also on left side. A switch werner-dybala! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,366 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Well, last team that won title over PSG gave some amazing players. Mbappe, Silva, Fabinho and some flops like Bakayoko, Lemar, Sidibe... Lille is still top of the table with 9 games to go. I am sure they have same good players for top teams. I noticed most mentioned one Soumare is usually on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, not in his prime or whatever, it would not be a bad move, it would be a very shrewd move for a season or two. He would still be one of the first names on City’s team sheet and in all likelihood would of been more often this season if not for the injuries he’s pocked up this season which has led to Pep experimenting and finding huge success with utilising a false 9. Tend to remember people scoffed at United getting Cavani, due to his age, fitness issues at PSG the season before, the speed and physicality of the PL etc but he has contributed 8 goal involvements in the PL in 925 minutes. For guys like Aguero, Cavani, Ibrahimovich amongst a collective group, which Thiago Silva is also in, the age is irrelevant really because they are still more than capable of delivering the goods.
