Shak Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Think Vitor Roque, Evan Ferguson or some other absolutely top CF prospect is the way to go. Someone young enough that they'll be OK with being rotated quite a bit but someone you also reckon would more than hold their own if needed to be the main man. Guess it depends on the long term plan for Isak. I do like the idea of him on the left, but with a bit more freedom. I wonder if maybe we could end up in something of a hybrid between a 4-3-3 and a 4-4-1-1. In Joelinton and Willock you have two players who we know are ideal for the role of LCM player who gets out wide quite a lot. In Gordon, Almiron and Murphy we have RW options that will really put in the work and allow Isak to have less responsibility to track back. Joelinton could obviously be used in place of either Longstaff or Willock, there'll be new additions too. I don't know, maybe the plan is for Isak to be the main man at CF and Wilson backing him up and providing a change up like how we've seen them used together this year... I guess ultimately I just think having two top quality goalscorers in the team is better and Isak on the left gives real potential for that.

Maybe a buy with a season's loan back to Fener is the best idea, though I don't know if we go in for that sort of deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want a catalogue of good young players, who could potentially step up to the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 To be honest I doubt any of our wide men are going to be good enough long term, I wouldn’t be sad to see us sell and replace as many as we can this summer. Almiron’s hot streak covered up real deficiencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The thing with Almiron is the lack of right foot lets him down constantly. He always looks to cut back or slows the attack down as he doesn’t want to get his head down, make space and cross it. I prefer Murphy on the right as he can do both as today demonstrated. I know he’s not the answer and I think both are easily replaced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 How much did Man U spunk on Antony 80 million ? We definitely need a little bit more quality in midfield/wide areas, but I’d be a bit wary about binning off players who’ve had a great season when we need a big squad next year.

ponsaelius Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Midfielder to add more control and solidity. Top quality right winger. First choice left back. Right sided centre back with recovery pace (ideally who could also play RB) I'd go big on all these, particularly the first three as first teamers.

Burn does Burn stuff well and even with a new LB he'll play a big part next season too, but we'd benefit so much by having someone with more pace and better ball control opposite side of Trippier to stretch teams more.

Yes, assuming that Targett doesn't miraculously become the man, I'd like us to get the best left back money can buy. Would open up so many other options for us.
