@1nsightty It's wild how many people assume we're going to bench one of the best midfielders in the league. Camara is great, that doesn't mean he's ready to take over for Gravenberch.
@AnfieIdFix Two problems here:
-Conflating what players are asked to do with what they can do
-Not accounting for possession
In the Champions League, Grav covered more distance per 90 than Valverde. Would we say Valverde couldn't fit Iraola's tactics?
@Twiss95 Nobody thought Grav would succeed as a 6 either. Give him a chance. He's more talented than any midfielder Iraola has ever worked with, and adaptable as well.
@fc_mossman Great stuff. Top LFC analysis as always. Thoughts on Andrey Santos as the 6? He seems to be the right mix of profile / experience / market opportunity we look for.
And thank you for not relegating Grav to the bench like half of our online fans--can't imagine that happens.
@anfieldforge We already signed two of those players (Jacquet and Kerkez). Likely another CB incoming.
Gakpo at ST is the short-term replacement for Ekitike. Rio will play far more minutes next season.
A CM and 1-2 attackers are coming.
RB future will depend on how Bradley does.
@LFCApproved Starts at LCB, VVD shifts to RCB for his final season (and doesn't have to play every minute), Jacquet and Leoni have more time to develop. Dramatically improves our buildup without losing much/at all in terms of defending channels and in the box. Also provides extra cover at LB.
@Watch_LFC Fair points and part of financial stability is controlling the wage bill, even if that means letting players leave for "free" (ignoring the costs of retaining them on high wages). Clubs pay much more in wages than net transfer fees. Many struggle to understand this.
@fc_mossman Feels like a straight choice between selling him and Macca this summer to fund another midfield addition/replacement... as class as Macca is, think it makes more sense to keep Jones
@SerDuncan1776@BullishMoose33@BrandonStraka It's objectively not a problem. The people who are trying to convince you that it's a problem have spent a lot of time and money trying to show that it's a problem and they can't.
@SerDuncan1776@BullishMoose33@BrandonStraka I don't think it's worth disenfranchising millions of legal voters who don't have easy access to the documentation required by the SAVE Act to deal with "voter fraud," which is extremely rare and only a focus of this president because he can't handle the fact that he lost in 2020
