she was excellent on TV last night with her analysis lol

She was a blubbing wreck Jazz. Couldn't string 2 words together. Terrible punditry really.?

I thought my lol was supposed to be ironic.

Must try harder.

Gordon-DCL-McNeil​

As much as I personally prefer 4-3-3 as a formation, I cannot see Frank deviating from 5-2-3, he has been burnt too many times by this lot to not have significant protection at the back.

I think Gana will play in a two with Iwobi and then two of McNeil, Dele, Gordon and Gray as inverted wingers. It allows Patterson and Mykolenko to provide the width, which I think particularly suits Patterson and his defensive limitations.

We have also recruited for the 5-2-3 formation, so would be weird if 4-3-3 became our default.

Pickford

I'm not sure Allan is offering anything to that line up. Would have Iwobi in there any day personally.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Who is it?

Trossard, much better option than Cornet and last year of contract. Was not an actual link though, merely chat I think.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Pretty clear we won’t be seeing 4 at the back for a while based off pre-season

I’m expecting

Pickford
Patterson Godfrey Mina Tarkowski Myko
Gueye with one of Doucoure/Allan/Iwobi
McNeil DCL Dele

Chelsea will probably come too soon for Gueye so probably Allan with one of Doucoure/Iwobi and we may see Gordon start over McNeil first game

Dele has to start, Mcneil on the right cutting in.

He's ace and I'd love him here. £22.5m should do it.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I'm not sure why he has to start? He hardly set the world on fire in pre season. Missed an open goal and scored two tap ins. Such a dangerous transfer leaving us open to paying loads to Spurs soon.

 

[blulouie]

Could design a board game centered on what player(s) we'll get from Chelsea. The possibilities and combinations are endless.

Roll the dice.

Anyone who gets Barkley is automatically fined and forfeits the game.

Buy Gilmour , Loan Colwill.

£10 mil that's already accounted for? Hardly earth shattering is it.

Also, to score tap ins you need be in the right place. That's the skill.

That bit of craft we are desperately missing

We'll be due to pay another £20m if he is a regular this season. Not sure if that's good value if we're finishing around 15th.

Think I agree with you on this. Apart from I see it very much as a 3 at the back, as opposed to 5. Not trying to be pedantic when I say that. I just think that the full backs we have are very much focused on attacking
