I think Mbappe vs Haaland had the potential to be really special though, and the next Messi vs Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I like Kamara, good player. I trust Howe though and if we've not persued him because he feels that he's not the best fit for what we're trying to do, then fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I'm more annoyed that Villa are making decent signings than missing out on him. Would still bet that Villa will finish lower-mid table next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust Howe though and if we've not persued him because he feels that he's not the best fit for what we're trying to do, then fair enough. My gut feeling is Howe is going to return to his attacking 4-4-2, with two strikers, two narrow inverted wingers, and two really attack minded full backs providing width. And so we appear to be after withdrawn strikers to support Wilson and Wood, which is why we are targeting two strikers that link play, one with a bit more experience and a younger one to be back up. Think midfield is likely going to be Bruno sitting deeper in the number 6 slot and Joelinton as a ball winner/box to box number 8, which he has been so impossibly good at that they're going to continue to develop him in that position.

I love what we're doing as a club now and we are going to have our own business done soon enough too. In actuality I kind of like the idea of other teams like ourselves, Villa, Leicester, West Ham and Wolves continuing to improve and applying lots of pressure to the teams at the top. I want the league to become more and more competitive. I think it will open things up much more and I'm confident we have a manager that will allow us to take advantage.

We'll have to see what happens anyway. Have a feeling with a full pre-season and summer to reshape the squad, he'll return to his preferred system.

Doubt it. 4-3-3 or variations of it is what the top sides play now, and we saw against Arsenal a glimpse of how he wants us to play next season and that was in the 4-3-3.
