Agree with your tboughts on style.Its not a hoooof, its a long pass.Pickfords one of the best, Coady,Towkowski long diagonal passes.
Problem, we dont have the two, even one striker that puts fear into defences, managers.
How much coaching time now do teams spend on Haaland threat.
Teams now set up to defend him, not on attacking City.

So we have to spend.First sell Pickford England No 1.We no right to have him, he wants champions league ,fact.
Samba, average good keeper will do.£70million.
AG , one for future, English when new rules quota comes in.We sell £50million , job of acadamy done.We no right to have 20year old that good.
We need two top strikers, we Lost Dominic Calvert-Lewin , a year before hes right,anywhere near.I ve been a Premier League physiotherapist,conditioning coach, Military 30years.Sell ,Mina,Kean,Holgate, Davies.Get Bradthwaite back, Dobbin, Cannon on bench.
Get the £120million in.

Bottom of the League 1Jan.

Short 6month contracts to stay up .£1million a month two strikers and a midfield General.Stay up, then sort out the forwards.


Plenty of expensive free agent forwards about Jan.
Cant buy , dont want to buy forwards, see if Dominic Calvert-Lewin can get fit, next season.

Benzimar, Geroooooooooo???? Moise Kean.Short loan contracts till 1June £1million a month is only £12million , £18million to stay up.

We a decent side with two , three top class forwards, a midfield maestro.
What are you on about?
 
….only time will tell. Players with quality we need are not necessarily the most expensive. The difficulty is identifying the quality that is available. People at our club are paid lots of money to get these decisions right.

Its very possible to sign someone who just gels or creates a different dimension or adds a skillset that trigger others.

Sometimes its about the right player at the right time. doesn't have to be the most expensive, nor the highest quality, nor the highest or "right" profile, just needs to be clever and enabling, Kevin Campbell springs to mind.

….or buying youngsters with quality & desire to have an immediate impact. Such players are out there but obviously more difficult to unearth.

They require taking a risk mate, in some ways the club and and maybe our position sometimes ,make us to risk adverse, imagine picking up the equivalent of a Jarrod Bowen from Hull this Jan.

Maybe im being unfair and maybe the Diaz lad we're linked with, is this year Bowen! Though maybe we already made that call with Maupay VS Diaz.
 

Well, experienced ,quality two up top, one Gundalan type in midfield sorted.
We wont know unless we do, for sure if we dont we all off to the Championship, wonderfull.
Short six month fix, £1million a month each, cheap £18million.Against the £300million it will cost Moshiri to go down, have 30,000 in our new stadium.
 
What are you on about?
We are done before we take the field with no strikers, a midfield player who can run a game, pick an assit pass to a goal.
Simple done get a forward line thee opposition fear, respect functions.

Off to the Championship we go.Its not rocket science.!!!can score , know you cant score , ya done.
 
I hope we can sign Depay but be realistic, signing Chris Wood by loan from Newcastle would be a great choice. We should replace DCL in summer to save the transfer fee. In January, we should focus on buying a good finishing Winger. Zaha should be considered if he is available for about 15M.
 
More than anything we lack creativity in the team.
For me the biggest blow in the summer was not being able to sign Kudus.
We can sign another striker but if we don't create chances for him then we won't be any better than what we currently are.

In a team with creativity Maupay and DCL can be effective but not as we currently stand.

We also at the moment lack wide players who run at defenders and cause them trouble.
Anthony Gordon was doing that last year but he is struggling this season as often happens with young players in their second season.
McNeill is more a midfielder than winger and Demarai Gray is not a player who faces up to defenders and takes them on... I would like to see young Mills given a chance to do this while in Australia.


Above all though we need to sign creative players. DCL was at his best when getting service from Digne and James, we are simply not creating chances for him anymore. He is excellent in the air but how many crosses have you seen from us this season?

I would argue we have young players already who would give more desire and impact. Dobbin scored a wonderful goal for Derby the other eve. Him, Cannon, Simms….all give me more hope than the stale attack we put out every week!

Christ back to back nights on the rocket fuel, takes some doing that.

We need creativity and a striker
