PENKAAA Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Douglas on twitter says he has spoken to his 'NUFC man' about our transfer target Blaise Matuidi and he says he is a different kind of player to Tiote. Here's hoping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 If we do sign another centre midfielder for decent money who we would probably have to guaruntee to be a first choice player then surely that would confirm that we're going for a 4-3-3 type of system next season. Our midfield and fowards could all be new players bar Tiote if you class Ben Arfa as a new player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically though, St-Etienne are a big club in France as opposed to Lorient. There'll be a pride thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 As sexy as a front six of Tiote, Matuidi, Cabaye/HBA, Barnetta, Ba would be... if Nolan's departure acts as a catalyst for some sort of exodus i'll still be pretty concerned going into the season. Not even considering the 'leadership' qualities we'd be missing if the likes of him and Barton left (and God forbid, Jonas and Jose too)... we'd be just as desperately thin on the ground as we have been this year. Whilst the types of players we're linked with shows promising signs, if we're enforcing a 'one-in-one-out' policy, i fear that we're not going to progress. I know the term 'net-spend' is overused, but it's a bit of a bloody joke if it's not even anywhere near the +£20m mark, given the Carroll funding. Nolan, Barton, Jonas and Jose together would fetch close to that figure, you'd think. We do not need to sell to buy this summer. Absolutely no way. Still so far to go in this transfer window. Until yesterday i was pretty optimistic, although resigned to Jose's exit. Following the events of the last 48 hours i'm nowt but cautious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think we were slightly unlucky last year that we had two players in midfield (Gosling and Ben Arfa) who were injured for the whole season. I think it's a pretty unlikely occurrence and that we'll have better squad depth this year with them returning. If we sign N Taylor then I reckon our defence is sorted. And if we play 4-3-3, this will be the players in our squad: LB: Enrique, Taylor CB: Colo, S Taylor, Williamson, Kadar RB: Simpson, Perch DM: Tiote, Smith (ugh) Passing CM: Cabaye, Guthrie utility CM: Matuidi, Barton, Gosling or ideally rotate Matuidi into the DM position if Tiote's injured/suspended and play Barton/Gosling instead. LW: Barnetta, Ferguson RW: HBA, Jonas ST: Ba, Erdinc, Best, Ameobi We still of course lack squad depth but not in as many positions and the versatility of our players (like Jonas) should mean that we should be able to compete for 6-8th. Guthrie might also be useful if he has Matuidi and Tiote doing all the running for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 PSG have been linked with Alou Diarra for a while now so I'm not sure if they would be after Matuidi too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
