@alfklly Excited by the signings we’re making but struggling to see how it all shapes up in a realistic way at the moment, one that finds the balance between the style arbeloa clearly wants but also retaining some solidity.

[M @CC_1879]

@alfklly Do you not reckon it’s Berge or Charles in the team? Think we’d run into similar issues of the Berge Lukic pivot. Worries me when u look at the options how lightweight they are, unless u sacrifice a lot with b and c,Unless Charles is a different type of player than im thinking.

[M @CC_1879]

@CottageTactico @Wanalyst007 I wonder if we might see Kevin used in a similar role to Josh king vs Chelseain the 352 running off Muniz as a second striker, meaning Iwobi keeps his spot as that inside midfielder, and potentially Josh king can play in the role Lukic had if we face weaker teams.

[M @CC_1879]

@CottageTactico @markrstats How do u feel about the idea to play iwobi in pereiras role in this system, with Nelson taking the lw spot

[M @CC_1879]

@nonewthing Already put bids in for a dlp (andre trindade) leader cb (joachim andersen) and a palhinha replacement (vinicius Souza) so hopefully you’re right, not sure who we’d sign on the right however

[M @CC_1879]

@Ic3Evaa Wilson I understand but cairney defo belongs on a technical level if you watched us last szn he was great, he jus can’t run much anymore cos he’s v old

[M @CC_1879]

@sthsthburner This is mostly a strength and will be for you more than it was for us but there was a lot of times when he wouldn’t show the urgency even when he needed to which was probably one of his biggest flaws for us

[M @CC_1879]

@CravenTheHunter Not bad really but probably want someone a bit more mobile in there ?

[M @CC_1879]

@ABronsSmith They’re different strikers, nketiah can play with his back to goal more than I reckon stansfield can, he’s much stronger than he seems. I don’t know if we see stansfield as a 9

[M @CC_1879]

@FFC_Ibz He’s important tactically, but he’s such a non factor on the ball sometimes that we should be aiming to improve on him with another player that can fill that role, which is not impossible at all

[M @CC_1879]

@CottageTactico I’ve wanted to replace pereira but it’s been difficult to find a reasonably priced player who can actually give us the role pereira does, Ferguson seems like a great fit

[M @CC_1879]

@FFC_Ibz Ppl r pleased cos a club legend is playing excellently and consistently for the first time in the prem ? Who needs to be “brought back to reality?” 😭

[M @CC_1879]

@FFC_Ibz Think it’s silly to be trying to bring down one of our own players but even still cairney is twice the player pereira is cmon now

[M @CC_1879]

@alfklly When he was essentially playing the role of mitrovic’s legs it made some sense, now there’s no mitro I don’t see why he gets any game time I don’t know what he brings us, also hard to find no10s out there now that aren’t destined for higher than us or too much of a risky signing

[M @CC_1879]

@alfklly Understand it’s an overpay but they’re still 2 very good footballers (Broja not quite at his best level yet) in the right age bracket, I don’t see the issue

[M @CC_1879]

@CottageTactico @mclachbot Speaking of, what players r out there that can give us what cairney does, being able to play deep and control but also that ability creatively further up, only thoughts I’ve had were Veerman of PSV, or Hayden Hackney

[M @CC_1879]

@CottageTactico @mclachbot True! He’s defo a great player, i just worry abt losing cairney and willian and not getting in players who can give us that creativity

[M @CC_1879]

@CottageTactico You’re right you’re right I got ahead of myself 😂
