Confirmed Signing Jean-Philippe Gbamin

[bol-uk]

In January when PSG came in for Gana and a compromise of wait until the summer was agreed, I think that gave us time to assess the squad and identify the best interchangeable players available to fit the desired system.

So 2 of Gbamin / Gomes / Delph / Davies will operate as the midfield engine (maybe another depending on if Schniederlin goes/stays)

Sigurdsson / Bernard / Reinier? as the 10

These have flexibility too.

Need 16+ top class players to compete with the best. You cannot get by with just a brilliant starting 11 anymore.


Need another winger as I don't think Walcott can deliver consistently.

Yeh, my concern is we don’t have the “pzaz “ to keep stars happy on the bench.
City, Chelsea etc can do this due to their status we still have to earn it

I wouldn't be surprised to see an out of the blue loan deal on deadline day for an experienced striker

Yep, too much to expect a 18 year old to carry the load

Hopefully Mandzukic, if Dybala to united falls through

 

[matty1878]

Striker we were linked with for Mainz.

So are we signing him to? Or it’s just reported we are

 

[matty1878]

he's pretty much been spot on all summer with stuff

Who mate and what’s he said

I don't think Dybala is too enamoured with the prospect of joining united
Inter are rumoured to be interested if they don't get lukaku
Whether they can afford him or if Juve are prepared to strengthen a rival is another matter

I don’t buy it. I don’t buy any of them.

Nah it was just part of my story.

Indeed.

But in Brands, USM and Bramley Moore, I don't think we are as far off as the RS media try and make out.

said the Reiner Jesus deal was on
Said Henry was going for £15m mid July

he's said loads to be fair

 

[Brisan123]

2 OR 3 quality starters and we can give top 4/6 a real go

I agree. Just need to not faff it up now

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

But neither of those things have happened.

 

[Brisan123]

Walsh koeman and FSA have all seen the price of failing Usmanov
Brands wont fail

 

[Tofeenut]

Gbamin Just seen him walk out of pal mal.
