KaKa Posted August 1, 2024 Share Posted August 1, 2024 Emery sometimes plays with two strikers in a 4-2-2-2. He might be looking to do that more often again, with Watkins and Lukaku upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he’s on a massive wedge as well. Hasn't got a whole lot of relevance but I was reading that in Japan most of their players don't start playing first team football until about 23 or 24. So players like Mitoma are 27 but still really young in terms of "football years". Seems to be the opposite of everywhere else in the world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's quite modern, there's a few championship clubs who have signed Japanese players this summer and they're all mid 20s but it's only their second or third season in senior football.

Geogaddi Posted August 1, 2024 Share Posted August 1, 2024 Yeah I have a feeling Arsenal will finally win it this season, it's daft to doubt Man City but they can't keep getting away with starting slowly and then winning every game in the second half of the season.

If your a madman selling your players at peak value is a great thing to do, it’s basically what Brighton do, obviously comes with tremendous risks mind.

Yeah, your selling an asset which his at peak for one which is past peak value and expensive. Doesn’t really make sense unless you have someone shit hot in the academy who will be top notch in a couple of years and you view Lukaku as the mentor.

joeyt Posted August 1, 2024 Share Posted August 1, 2024 (edited) What are the rules on tapping up players these days? I'm not naive enough to think agents and clubs don't communicate but if players are rumoured to have agreed personal terms before a bid has been made and accepted by the club, is that technically not allowed Edited August 1, 2024 by joeyt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
