Guest Flatline Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 4-3-3 would be totally dependent upon signing a striker who can play the lone role competently. Carlton Cole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 You not think we might go 4-3-3 Colocho? Cabaye, Tiote, Gervinho, Ben Arfa have all played it before. Barton might even be better in a 3 man midfield. 4-3-3 would be totally dependent upon signing a striker who can play the lone role competently. If we sign Gameiro, I'd say we would be nailed on to go 4-3-3. By the right flank, I meant Cabaye (as an RCM) and Gervinho as an RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ads Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Barca do it without a big target man Indeed. I think I saw someone mention yesterday that Gameiro isn't in the mould for a lone striker but if we play a 4-3-3 and have good movement, he doesn't need to be a big, strong powerhouse. Movement is so important for Barca and, to an extent, Arsenal who also don't have a big powerful striker spearheading a 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 From what I saw of Gameiro he's big enough but more a striker in the Robin van Persie mode, more about technique and finishing than physical presence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Yeah, a lone striker doesn't have to be a big man. He just has to do whatever is needed from him (obvious). Not sure exactly what we would want from a lone striker in a 4-3-3 consisting of our current squad plus the rumored players (aside from goals ofc). Assume we'd just go for someone who is very mobile and capable of both dropping off to link up with the wide players, but equally good at moving into the channels and getting behind the opposition defence. Again, not sure on the balance between those two because it all depends on the type of football we play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I would much rather have a quick, mobile striker in a 4-3-3 than a big target man. As Dresden said, someone who can drop deep, look for the ball and bring the wide men into play. The signing of Cabaye is a fantastic one as, with Tiote linking defensive and midfield, Cabaye is very much an energetic ball player who will look to make late runs into the box, always a good trait in a midfielder.
