KaKa Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Any chance we're going to use De Jong as an out and out striker? Could be a possibility. Led the line for Ajax at times right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led the line for Ajax at times right? tbf if you have at least 3 good AM's who can put the ball in the net you could get away with a riviere running the channels and doing the work it'd be a massive risk though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I've only seen this guy play a few times. Can someone enlighten me as to where he might fit into the team? Hard to say when we don't have a clue how McClaren wants to play. Could be different to what Pardew and Carver did for all we know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This gives us options as it currently stands. I also think we could finally see us not having a strictly DM role. It's A new manager with tactics of his own. If we go with a 3 man midfield we could easily have 3 dynamic central guys out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only so many ways to stack s***, KaKa. I bet Williamson plays and hoofs it to Adam Armstrong. Also bet Colback takes every free kick and corner aiming for Willo with midfielders such as Sissokho, Anita, Cabella, Aarrons, De Jong and potentially Winmalden, f*** even Tiote & Abeid, there's no way he should be getting regular starts with a decent coaching setup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Don't get it. We have 4 players that could do well at #10. Need some f***ing defenders. Need a proper striker. It's possible to play more than one attacking central player.. But not 4. Perez, Wijnaldum, De Jong & Cabella can't play optimally in the same team. It's awful.

Unbelievable Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Dropout has spoken lads, lets not buy anybody much better that way tbh. In terms of squad priorities he is absolutely right. Unless we also spend big to bring in the centre backs, right back, winger and forwards we need, the money would probably have been better spent elsewhere.

The College Dropout Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Dropout has spoken lads, lets not buy anybody much better that way tbh. I just don't understand our transfer strategy. You have at best 3 CB's, 2 LB's & 1 RB. 1 CB is a permacrock. The other isn't good enough. The other is ageing and looks past it. We have 2 first team strikers at the club. 1 is a failure. The other has a combustible knee. What do we do? Try to sign a #10. Not a single rumour of a CB on the horizon. Or a LB. Looks like we are monitoring Charlie Austin. That's it. At this stage last season we had Cabella, de Jong & Janmaat if not already signed, heavily linked. That was an awful window imo too. Looking at his whoscored he's played deeper as a CM last season. Scored a lot of goals. Suggests perhaps he's coming to play CM. An area we can improve in certainly but I suspect to the detriment of Sissoko at the club. If we keep Sissoko it's still looks odd as to where he fits in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Of course he is But i find myself not giving a shit, mainly because we lack any of sort of ability in the midfield and because watching Tiote-Colback-Sissoko trying to pass more than 3 yards without giving it away is painful. I want talent in the team, i couldn't give a shit about squad priorities at the moment when the whole team except for a handful of players are shite footballers.
