                       1

   7         8          4         11

              9          10

 

When we were growing up in the 70s and 80s. 4 being the more defensive midfielder

Makes more sense to swap around the 4 and 6 in the above formation otherwise it seems illogical

Just the way it was back then

[RS]

The 80’s pub league midfield number 4 was alway a little snappy bastard. 

[morpeth mag]

In my day;

                      1

               2           3

         4           5           6

   7         8       9     10        11

 

Numbers were more logical then

 

[Yorkie]

I think Botman is only one of two CBs to wear a 4 in my lifetime. The other being Rozehnal who played about six times. Not sure we've had any 6s in CM.*

 

*Edit: just Acuna, alongside Howey, Boumsong, Williamson and Lascelles - all CBs.

[STM]

90s:

 

            1

2     5      6      3

 

7      8      4    11

 

        9      10

 

00s:

 

             1

2     4       5      3

       6       8

7         10         11

            9

 

10s:

 

             1

2     4        5      3

             6

       8        10

7                      11

             9

      

 

Seems to have been the evolution in my mind.

 

 

[huss9]

Yeah but what about the two false 10's Brewce played away at brentford in the cup?

[Gallowgate Toon]

Found the latest Athletic article on him a bit weird, like.

[Rich]

Just Caulkin creating an entire article out of a single question he asked Howe/Trippier at a press conference.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

The clue is in the publication.

[Beth]

On £210k a week according to Capology. Seems a bit high, thought it would be around £150-180k.

[Guest]

They guess. Don't they have Targett on £100k or something?

That site has Joelintons earning £85k a wage, and has that marked as verified but in his recent court case it was revealed he earns £43,000 a week.  

 

So not sure how that site can call it's sources verified.

That’s £2,500 an hour pro rata.

Yes thats seems wrong, along with Wilson being on "only" £43k and Schar £40k a week, but most of the other wages quoted look about right.

 

Edit: Sancho at Man U on £350k a week, christ if that's right no wonder they're struggling to afford a decent striker.

I think that £43k was after tax though and it's about 40-50% tax and national insurance at that end.

Tonali provides good cover and competition for Anderson. Can't expect Anderson to be able to play every game in all competitions.

 

It's happening.

Canny.

[TBG]

Would have preferred a replacement for Wilson

[Mazzy]

Could've just signed Barella and Di Marco and Chiesa, that would've been more productive overall.

[GeordieDazzler]

Can he play left back?
