Will you rather we sign a and then a CB? In Lisandro, we are using a stone to kill 2 birds...We don't have UCL football to look forward to which is a cash windfall so, we have to be every pennywise in the market...

We still have a RB, RWF and possibly CF to sign so, if we can get players who can play 2 different positions as a stop-gap option then it's fine...

Lol will he be playing both positions at the same time cuz we need both. So Lisandro slots into that CB position hopefully, one person will have to play that CDM position regularly.

This utility thing would've been useful if we had a CDM and Lisandro is coming in as a CB that can play that CDM position if there's an injury issue. Or the other way round. But we need both. So he needs to fill in to one.

Btwn shifting a player all over is the worst way for the player to acclimatize with the league.

FDJ can easily slot in there...However, when we need more grit, Lisandro can be deployed there...We can't possibly address all the issues...

FDJ can't play CDM in the EPL. That's wishful thinking.

What is it about the EPL? This talk no dey tire una?

The same EPL Rodri is playing in? The same EPL that has Romeu starting for Southampton? Make una calm down with this EPL talk...

It's not a matter of EPL being special. It's about the EPL being different from the Dutch league. He can't even play it in Spain.

Dejong is not Rondri. They don't even have similar qualities.

Chill, has epl teams agreed on the 5 sub pet match?

Yes.

Those 2 are far more physical than de Jong. Also if you check de Jong's Whoscored history he has rarely played CDM apart from 2 seasons ago when he played it 10 times for Barca. He is usually a CM (No8) with a CDM next to him.

afrodoc2:


Yes.

Na Guadiola go enjoy this a lots ohh, no wonder the guy just dey buy dey go.

Make man utd ship in lots of players lykdat.

Good morning folks,
How true is it that we have agreed a deal with RB Liepzig for Brobbey for £17million?

Mrviktor:
Pogba left

You have to be patient. After the manager has completed his assessment of the squad at the end of preseason we can start buying players

ChristoBam:

Pretty sure what Van Gaal needed was a player like Bruno in his team. These ones just want players that will go side to side each time with almost zero risks.

With Bruno’s risk-taking style, LVG would have benched him. 100% guaranteed.

ChristoBam:

It's not a matter of EPL being special. It's about the EPL being different from the Dutch league. He can't even play it in Spain.

Dejong is not Rondri. They don't even have similar qualities.

He can but Busi has that position locked down...I am a little patient to see how far Garner can step up...

In defense I am not ruling out Tuanzebe or Lindelof completely as potential partners for Varane just so Lisandro can slot in as the DM...

We still have a bit of time. The TW shuts sometime in Sept or thereabout so, we can still access our team after a couple of games into the season...

You are typing like those players were first team players who contributed a lot last season and needs replacement. Pogba was injured for long periods, Cavani spent last season in Uruguay, lingard was riding the bench and matic could hardly play 2 games In a row without dying.

I think Busi would start ahead of any DM you sign at Barca for obvious reasons...I accept that Rodri and Romeu are more physical however, FDJ can do a decent job there if need be...I am rooting for Lisandro to play more as a DM...W8th a solid midfield, our defense won't be very exposed thus the defensive frailties that looked so obvious will be masked...

Also, I am hoping that ETH has the balls to bench Maguire for Lindelof or any other CB in form...

This is not about Busquets. The main thing is that there is very little of evidence of FDJ playing DM either for Ajax or for Barca. Lisandro Martinez as well rarely plays there.

So what you want is for us to buy a CB and and CM to share DM responsibility. Why not just buy a DM who plays that position regularly and then buy the CB to play CB and CM to play his proper role.

Not the one that midway through the season we will now be looking to buy a CDM because the players we bought can't play the position consistently well.

Squad players bro.

No be say dem. Be reserve.

If Fred has 4 months Injury at the start of d season like this who will replace him


If degea has 3 months injury who will play. (HEATON?)

If dalot has injury nko.. Is is aaron that hasn't played since January that will na start.

The situation is bad.. No way to sugar coat it.

The season starts in less Dan 4 weeks.
And that first 4 games is very hot for us.. If u check d fixtures.

Those players you mentioned offered little to nothing last season especially Cavani and Lingard. The only player who left and will be missed is Pogboom, By the end of the window we will have 4 to 6 new signings. Malacia and Eriksen are already done deals. De Jong, Martinez and Anthony are all expected to join as well. What bad situation are you seeing?

TeslaFC:

Lol, just like saying LVG will bench Trent Arnold because of his risk taking.

I know say dem go attack me oh.

But let's be honest is De Jong an upgrade to a happy Paul pogba .. The key word is HAPPY..
. Can he do dirty work like Matic

Also note that de Jong doesn't want to come here. Same way di Maria didn't want to come too

Kdb looses more balls Dan bruno self

ChristineC:
I don't see how such goal contribution will sit down for passing the ball around. fans tend to narrow fernandes to just goals and assists. there's no need further need dissecting Bruno's contribution outside goals and assists, I believe it has been done on these pages severally.
the man features in the top brackets for almost every segment. he has also demonstrated an ability to pull a team forward by himself. he may have had a poor season by his own standards last time, I believe what he needs is adequate rest.
there's no way the manager drops an x-factor just because.

Lol, as in I fear Nairaland analyst

If we remove his goals and assists, we can point to his key passes, chances creation, big chances, through balls, etc

Mrviktor:

Even Trent Arnold, but but Bruno that plays with low IQ players shouldn't lose possession.

Nobody is attacking you. We have already seen De Jong under Eth and how he performed so we already know what to expect from him. Are you not tired of having brainless midfielders like Bruno and Mctom?

2021/ 2022 stats leaders

Chance created: Bruno
Big Chances : Bruno
Through Balls: Bruno

Waiting for how VDB will start ahead of Bruno ohhh

Play it safe like Erikssen and KDB

I am not against signing a DM but I am not certain we will sign FDJ and Lisandro and still go after a DM whilst looking at a RB, RWF and now, potentially a forward...

Expert17, if you watch Bruno and don't think he has to improve certain aspects of his game then, I can't help you...
