Question...

If we sign the big CF does Rooney even get near the starting XI??

He could play in the 3 behind if we played a diamond? - I think koeman will find a place for him anyway

Definitely. Starts just behind the big striker with Sandro doing running about.

And where do Sigurdsson and Klassen fit in?

Zaschrona · July 27, 2017

We should try to buy Mahrez. Or Promes. Or Yarmolenko... a right winger.

Can I say it how I feel it in my heart?

Dirty Dutch · July 27, 2017

We still need pace and creativity. We won't be anywhere near top 6 with 'wingers' like DCL, Mirallas and Lookman.

I wouldn't sign Gylfi or start Klaassen to get the best out of Rooney and Sandro

I would have two up front (Sandro with Rooney behind), Lookman and Mirallas as the wingers until better ones are signed (pacy, not like Iceland) with Gueye and Schnieds with more room to work in

Watching Rooney and Sandro drop deep made me cry a little inside that we don't yet have a target man on the pitch.

Benteke of Villa yes Benteke of today no he's not the same player since his ACL snapped. If Giroud is a no go, I would get Dembele and Mahrez personally.

Wales online reporting deal is unlikely for Sight. Should go after Seri for 40mil.

Because Dembele and Mahrez are similar to Giroud/Benteke? Dembele is out till September anuway.

Totally spot on. I saw someone post earlier that "wingers" was an outdated concept. I prefer to keep it simple and look at the majority of successful teams- all of them either have some form of width or pace, or a combination of the two. We're far too deficient in both these areas right now and it could potentially be a big issue.
