Just Paqueta that I can think of. Man Utd are probably allowed to play Antony before he's actually signed. Edited August 31, 2022 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kluivert couldn’t get FA approval as he could get 15 points required from the 6 criteria to pass the FA permit. with isak it seems to be a problem with the home office not the FA. I don’t think it helps that everyone seems to be using work permit/visa/fa approval interchangeably as if they are the same thing. if it’s the home office that’s causing the blockage, is it possible he has some mild criminal record causing probs. Extremely frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 3 hours ago, Conjo said: We can't be shoehorning players into our formation by sticking this guy on the right wing, or putting ASM on the right just to play Isak on the left. He is striker. While he seemingly can drift out wide during matches, he's started like 2 matching on LW and RW in his entire career according to transfermarkt. Play him in his natural position together with Wilson, or start him or Wilson on the bench so we have options to change things up during games. He's been playing in a different league to the PL. There is nothing to say his attributes can't be used in different ways. Look at Bruno. A DM/CDM through and through, but we want to use him in a more advanced role because we recognise his attributes are beneficial to the way we want to play in the PL.

Lazarus Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I wonder if they sent off the paperwork late in the process but maybe west ham sent it of earlier? If i remember rightly from FM the work permit cost is a fortune, like 20k. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYP I think the fact he's played exclusively as a central striker in 4 different countries & national team indicates that he's best playing as a striker. Wanting him to play as a winger is as absurd as the occasional calls for Schar to play DM just because he can pass the ball. If he ends up stinking the place up as a striker then sure, give him a try somewhere else. In that event I guess we can always hope that he's a new Joelinton, but I doubt we'll get that lucky again for a long long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the traditional sense. If he was to play on the right, he'd be lining up either between the LCB and LB (vs back four) or against the LCB (vs back three). If you compare heat maps, you'll see that Trippier occupies the classic right-winger space, Almiron is more central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Structure’s more important off the ball than it is on it, when on the ball it’s more about patterns of play, although obviously you cannot just do whatever or you’ll get fucked on the break. Defensively he would occupy one of the wide spots but when we’re in possession he would have freedom to be wherever he’s going to be most dangerous. Not saying that is how Edward will set us up but it seems plausible when Wilson is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 What’s with the 6:45 cut off? Surely we could make him as a sub or even in the first 11 and if the clearance doesn’t come in we simply lose a sub? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
