Now That's What I Call Transfer Rumours! 7

[Shak]

The talk of a more classic DM being signed in order for Bruno to be played in a more advanced role makes me think we're looking for someone to play on the right that isn't really a wide player.

 

Say we did sign a proper destroyer. With him and Joelinton we'd have a lot of physical presence in the middle of the field but we'd be a bit reliant on Bruno in terms of someone who I'd fancy to really pick a pass for Isak to get on the end of.

 

Could see us trying to get Maddison and if we can't going for Pedro instead. While they'd be a RW on the team sheet, in reality they'd play closer to a #10 when we have the ball and allow Trippier to be super advanced and basically a winger.

 

In practice would look more like this.

 

                  Alvarez*

                                     Joe            Targett

 

                 Bruno

 

Trippier         

                Maddison*                 ASM

 

                            Isak    

 

*Or someone in that mould of player.

 

Bruno, Trips and Maddison* being who most of the play goes through down the right side, drawing teams over to that side and giving ASM lots of space to work in. If teams have the nerve to attempt counter attacks Joe can kill them.

£5 million is more than reasonable, especially after the shit they pulled in January. Bit late in the window for this simping, Martin, daft cunt

Aye fuck him and fuck Man Utd (after the January carry on). I certainly wouldn't let him go loan that's for sure unless they pay a big fee.

I was feeling a bit sympathetic when I first heard that he might move to Old Trafford, but if they won't even stump up £5m they can get to fuck. He's more valuable to us than loaning him out, regardless of what he wants.

Where looking to challenge this lot so why would we potentially leave ourselves with Darlow between the sticks. Unless it’s to good to turn down, tell him to knuckle down and respect the contract he was happy to sign.

It makes 100% sense I'm sorry to say to everyone.

 

                             1

 

                2       4      5      3

 

                    8       6       7

 

                    10      9      11

 

 

This is why 6 is a DM.

 

Things change and this is one of those things.

 

7 is a right winger and 11 a left winger. 4 a DM.

yeah let's fossilize our position numbers based on a 2-3-5 no one's played in 300 years that makes sense

Yeah, I see what you mean.

 

Also can see how Isak slots into that role when Wilson is fit to start up front.

To be fair to them they ended up doing us a massive favour. Really happy we never signed Lingard man.

People posting formations upside down will be first against the wall come the revolution.

 

Strikers at the top, goalie at the bottom please. That way the left-sided players are on, you know, the left?

I must say I don't know enough about Isak as a player to know if that's something he'd be suited to. From highlights and the like I would have thought he's a striker and if not he might be more suited to ASM's role in the formation I posted?

 

Suppose it depends how the next few weeks go. If he comes in and scores a few and looks dynamite leading the line I'd struggle to move him out of that spot much tbh.

Hope we can add people who say "starts from the bench" to that group too.

@Shak i love a post like yours above man, looks absolutely mad on paper but I know exactly what you're saying. The sooner people stop saying we need certain positions and assume they'll be handcuffed to that the better -- Howe has these performing very nuanced and tactical roles. 

[TheBrownBottle]

Dubravka can, quite frankly, get fucked on that one.  I’d rather let him rot in the reserves than force a free transfer.

 

His colours has well and truly been shown for all to see here.
