Exactly.
We play our best 6 front players and James plays right in a 433 or centrally behind 2 strikers. We bring in a top wide forward and James can play in a midfield 3 without a reduction in the quality of the starting 11.
It will also allow us to rotate and rest one of our quality players every game
So you are saying he might be related to a certain group of Germans who went to South America after the last war lol
The boys from Brazil.
Always liked Olivier.
Mason was great also.

We have done well so far to buy in 4 quality players and long way to go in the window
Last night didn’t tell us anything we don’t already know but there was also some positives .
My thinking now is we will buy more players but focus is on shifting some of the deadwood .
Iwobi doesn’t seem to have a future and could raise some money as could Bernard But others we will struggle to shift because of high wages and the fact there not very good .
kean I think we need to stick with but he needs to show us more when he gets game time or game time will be limited and Carlo might be tempted to give Simms a go .
For me things are a lot better and I am confident by the end of the window we will further improve .
We have 3 winnable league games before the Derby and would be great to get there unbeaten .
Think we all need to take a chill pill and trust in Carlo .....COYB ...!!

It wouldn't surprise me if a number of players move on in the next couple of weeks. They might not be good enough for us, but they could add something to other teams. The problem is they don't all work in the same team, so as long as 1 team doesn't buy the lot, they may still have some value in this league.
We've done it plenty of times in the past as well, taken another teams surplus and they have improved us no end. I mean, James Rodriguez was considered surplus to Real, and an expensive weight they needed to lose as he was not considered an option for them. Same for Bale.
There is a danger of thinking because certain haven't worked here, they are now incapable of doing it elsewhere. As much as I don't rate Sigurdsson, or what he offers here, he was clearly a hero at Swansea, and for a team of a smaller stature, he could go there and be a hero to them as well. Same applies to Walcott, Bernard, Delph, etc, whose experience could be the difference between staying up and going down, so financially, it's a gamble worth taking.
Others, like Iwobi, Kenny, and even Davies, are still young enough that they could become something and be a long term investment, if they get the opportunity to nail down a place, something they are unlikely to do here. Davies in particular, I feel is fighting an uphill battle here, and I've said before, a fresh start could be just what he needs.
I have a feeling that our transfer activity will see a number of outgoings, maybe as many as 10, be it permanent or loans, before a final influx of incoming players in the final week of the window. The injury to Branthwaite will likely hasten the CB cover (I wouldn't be surprised to see Stones come in on a loan with an option to buy next summer, especially if City can finalise Koulibaly), but I can still see us adding a RB, a winger, a forward, a Goalkeeper and at least 1 additional midfielder, dependent on outgoings.
With the business we have done so far, something tells me we are making moves to try and balance the squad, and it would be almost counterproductive to do the business we have and just stop there.

Palace seem to be already bringing players in to replace Zaha. Can’t see them needing Iwobi whatsoever like.

Be interesting to see how many of that team last night survive the window here. Worse still there’s still 5 or 6 who didn’t even make the squad, including Iwobi which is very surprising unless he’s injured.
Think we’ll be seeing a lot of loans out in the next 2 weeks and maybe 2 or even 3 in for a RB, RW and CB. Be interested to see if Gibson plays against Fleetwood or they keep him out for fear of being cup tied, wonder if they’re doing that with anyone else like Bolasie or Besic. Think if both are still here after the window closes they’ll be in the squads.

Not us I hope. I think the only person at the club that would be interested in Zaha is Mosh because he's a "statement signing". Really hope Moshiri let's Brands and Carlo handle picking out players.

Can’t see it. Better move them on and it’s their agents’ jobs.

What if Brands and Carlo want him too?
Said this myself a few times. Think Iwobi's time is up. I think he might be worth £20 million and used as leverage towards getting Zaha
