Summer Transfer Window 2019

[Seathestars]

We're signing better players WITHOUT European football under Brands, in comparison with European football under Walsh.

Imagine what our signings will be like in the future when we're knocking on the door of top 5/6.

Quiet exciting actually.

In a coupe of years that big new stadium will be on the horizon too, that's got be an attraction surely

 

[mightymoyes]

Think he's decent, and don't care to lose all our highly rated yoof.

Aye. That's been covered.

hes enthusiastic with a good attitude but not PL quality and not that highly rated. good if we can get decent fee with only a year left on his contract.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Not in the slightest

There's no universe where he's a better option than Gana Gueye

Love Scott brown, but I have a feeling taking him out of Celtic would be like cutting sansoms hair.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

As I said, its not true, he prefers 4231, its his preferred formation.

Reading that shows why we would be looking to persue Reinier Jesus.

The No10 is such an important role so earmarking potentially the best up and coming one makes sense.

 

[Goat]

In that quote he doesn’t state his preference he just merely and objectively states what we used last season and how we were able to be a threat against the opposition using the 4231 system.

And I disagree that our pressing will be better in a 4231 opposed to a 433 where he plays with a 1-2 in the midfield. Having 2 CMs with the freedom to push on forward with a CDM that sits in behind them would make our press even more lethal compared to having Gylfi covering the whole width of the field on the press by himself.

Having more players available to press by changing formation slightly to his more preferred formation also lessens/completely removes the need for a player like Gana who is able to cover all the ground that Gylfi can’t on his own. If we play 2 pressing CMs that cuts that area to cover in half and we could easy slot in a player with less of an engine than Gana

He also says he makes his formation based on the players he has, our record signing and most productive player cost us 45m, so it stands to reason we fit the tactics to fit him in.

If and when the Viking leaves, we may then possibly see a shift.

 

[The Penny Blue]

Hang on. Wigan have ITK's ?
Cos we certainly don't.

More of a “ITKs” sorry should have been clearer

 

[TheCount]

Adam Webster probably going to Brighton. Think he'd be a good option if we can't get Zouma. The boy has pace and can play a bit.

Brighton on course to secure service of in-demand 24-year-old

Bristol City defender Adam Webster is 'likely' to join Premier League Brighton during the current transfer window, the Daily Mirror have reported.

Missed the boat. He'll be worth double next year.

Must be just you and Mrs Brown.

It allows us to switch to a 442 off the ball and I think if you look at the Liverpool/Arsenal/Chelsea/Man United games at the end of the season you see the value of it. Having Sigurdsson pressing high up almost as though he was a striker while our wide men dropped a little deeper than usual to restrict the space of their wide men. I thought it was very similar to the way Simeone organises his Atlético side to press and I’d regard them as one of the best sides about at doing that.

It was very much the Simeone system but without anywhere near the same discipline in the midfield pressing. Gueye covered those holes often so his absence means improvement in that area is a requirement.

 

[Jersey Baz]

Must be just you and Mrs Brown.

Consider Scott Brown !! Seriously ?
Talk about turning the clock back and more.
Sorry... obviously a wind up

 

[Blueclouds]

Did we want Zaha and kean or is kean 2nd choice?

Yeah without Gueye we need a change of system to be fair but perhaps Gbamin can provide that

 

[bilyaletdinov_]

Completely different players mate, we will still be in for a winger

 

[mightymoyes]

Did we want Zaha and kean or is kean 2nd choice?

completely different types of players arent they?
