Guest chopey Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You missed out the lad from Arsenal and I would keep Krul, plus there is a few duckeggs not on that list to get rid of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hopefully Tiote is going to stay, because our CM area is proper weak if not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Some reason I want to keep Thauvin now and let him play in his #10 position to see how that goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Will likely see an even further transformation of that squad should we get promoted after this upcoming season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 And a winger and LB i'd say Don't really need a winger if Thauvin stays, agree on LB mind. To me creative CM is most important, we have loads of DMs but Shelvey is the only creative CM we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So then Sels Elliot Darlow Mbabu Anita Hanley Chancellor Lascelles Dummett Haidara Gamez Dogback Tiote Shelvey De Jong Saivet Thauvin Aarons Ritchie Armstrong Perez Gayle Mitrovic Krul Jaanmat and sissokunt out for 30m. A proven goalscorer and creative midfielder and I would say we are good to go and will be well in profit on transfers too Think it will be more than 30 mill for those 3 more like 40 I would say Still need three or four in my opinion also - cenrtal midfield is a big concern and we need another striker, winger and left back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Agreed. Should have the funds and the time to get them in. Will be the strongest squad in the league by a country mile then it's over to Rafa! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me creative CM is most important, we have loads of DMs but Shelvey is the only creative CM we have. What if Aarons is out injured for big parts of the season and Thauvin just doesn't deliver? I have a good feeling about Thauvin but you never know, and even if he does well one extra is needed imo. Especially with Gini and probably Sissoko gone eventually... Agree about the CM part Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Creative midfielder Left back Winger Experienced striker proven at scoring at this level Then I think we all agree there would be no weaknesses in that squad for this level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Assuming Sissoko and Wijnaldum deals get wrapped up... Needs: 2 CMs (with attacking / creative emphasis), 1 LW, 1 LB, 1 Striker. If Janmaat is sold, then another RB to compete with Mbabu/Sterry/Anita? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You can do what if thing with every position though CM is literally the only position where we literally have nobody the rest is a "what if this happens" situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 If Janmaat is sold, then another RB to compete with Mbabu/Sterry/Anita? What Gamez is for, even if Janmaat is sold we don't need anybody for that position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 CM is worrying, although Tiote and Shelvey would possibly be OK if they can play most of the games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 We have 3 wingers in Aarons, Ritchie and Thauvin with maybe 50 games to play. Not counting Perez as one. Yeah should be enough :lol: Not that there's any need to convince you Mole. Rafa will sign another winger, guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There's nothing to suggest that Aarons is good enough anyway according to Mole so I'm surprised he thinks we don't need another winger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 3 plus strikers who can play on the wing would cut it in most situations tbh. Not many teams have 4 natural wingers, it's just not completely necessary. Like I said if Thauvin stays I don't think we need anymore. Rafa has already alluded to Gayle spending some time on the wing anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There's nothing to suggest that Aarons is good enough anyway according to Mole so I'm surprised he thinks we don't need another winger Not sure why you like to twist my words so much tbh, I never said that. I just said he hasn't played enough to determine it either way, never said he's crap or anything just that not even a dozen games way too small of a sample size to determine anything. Considering how many players look great for 6 months and disappear off the face of the planet I don't think what I say is anything outlandish either tbh.

joeyt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You did say that seen nothing to suggest that Aarons is anything to write home about either. I'd also be amazed if you've seen Thauvin have a good consistent 6 months recently to believe that we can go with the wingers we've got Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Want a creative midfielder now, and a winger with pace after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because he played like 7 games I'm sorry that I don't hype every single player based off a few games. Apparently wanted to see a player over a full season before judging him is too much to ask though. That comment sounds bad in isolation without the context though, that's not what I meant in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
