Ronny favours the 2 number 8s mein frandel.

Take a look at how we started to set up near the end of the season, for example these games.

The 4-3-3 will be Ronnys go to formation.

He will of course change it from time to time, possibly go with 3-4-1-2 or other variants of 3 at the back at times and at others a 4-2-3-1.

Pressing from the front with a very dynamic midfield, up and downers.
 

Well, at least they can't be open to accusations of being slow out of the traps and penny pinching so far this summer.

The board can only make the funds and infrastructure to make transfers happen, available, and they seem to be doing that.

The targets chosen and signed are solely down to Koeman and Walsh, and they will take responsibility for success/failure on the pitch.

Can't knock the board and Moshiri with this start though, a lot more work to be done but the organisation looks to be impressive to me.

Be great to get some confirmations by the weekend.

I admit I only show my face in here during the transfer windows (I mean the forum, not this thread before someone tries to be funny...), so I try to follow along when people seem to know each other, or at least are familiar with each other. Now I'm already regretting asking this as I'm writing it, but I've seen a name pop up a few times and I need to know who it is as the username seems to be used as a sort of insult and I'm confused... Okay, here goes... Who's 'davek'?

Where is the creativity in the side? All of the very top sides have players who can create something out of nothing. Koeman says we need to improve in the final 3rd but we don't even seem to be being linked with the players who can beat a man and pick out a through ball.

Klassen seems like a better version of Davies. Will run all day and keep things neat and tidy but isn't the playmaker we're crying out for. I don't care how many goals he's scored in Holland - he won't be getting anywhere near as many in the Premiership.

Surely with our £30m bids we can find someone?

We have creativity. Barkley can be that but he needs space and better players around him. Klaassen is a player who creates opportunities because his movement is so good, and that opens up space.

We'll probably look to get another 'no 10' in regardless of Ross' future - hence the Brozovic and Sigurdsson and Banega stories (though I think Banega is a stretch and tbh he isn't all that).
