Griffon:




Someone said Havertz signing looks like an odd tactical fit unless Lampard will find a way to fit in the pieces, and I really agree with him.

In Leverkusen's 3-4-2-1 system, Havertz features as the right forward. He starts on the inside right channel, then cuts inside onto his lethal left foot and have an effect on the game, almost exact job we signed Ziyech to do. So who drops for the other?

His numbers doesn't suggest he'll be a fit for the CM position - 17 goals and three assists definitely looks like a figure that belongs to someone who prefers spending more time on the final third and the opposition's box. When not playing as a right forward, he's often deployed as a false nine. So clearly, he's far more of an attacker than a midfielder.

So where do we place him?

Just unless Lampard is looking to create a dream team, where Havertz gets pushed up field to partner Timo Werner, that's the only way this signing makes sense.

However, that'll still impede the development of Mount, as we'll need two natural CMs to always start if we must feature our fantastic four.

Fig 1:

Kante Kovacic


Ziyech Havertz Werner Pulisic
exactly but consider that Ziyech can play behind those three and Mount could replace Kovacic when necessary
4-3-3
Havertz Kante Mount
Ziyech Werner Pulisic

4-3-3
Barkley, Jorginho, Kovacic
Ziyech Werner Pulisic

4-4-2
Kante Kovacic
Ziyech RM, Pulisic LM
Havertz RF, Werner CF

or in diamond
Kante
Ziyech, Pulisic
Mount (either as AM or LM)

Signing Havertz would affect who plays 9 in a way.

He's a great addition, no doubt. But shouldn't we be prioritizing the GK, LB, and CB position? Abi what's the usefulness of scoring 3 goals and conceding another 3?

I guess people don't know havertz that's why they are critical of his addition.

I swear the havertz I follow is a perfect addition any team can wish for, he can do everything as a player; he can pass, he can run, he can nod, he can shoot, he can dribble, their is a German name they gave him which translate to someone that can do everything.
He can play 8, 10, 11, 9 and 7
He is very neat and tidy on the ball.
He can use both legs quite well.
And he said he like playing in 8 because it will allow him to have more of the ball I think lampard is going to use him there or 10 role.

I am just praying and hoping he doesn't flop in EPL.

Well, i still maintain my stance that coughing out £75m on him is a waste of money when you have similar players in Hakim & Reuben.
Imagine selling Mario Pasalic for a paltry sum of £13m , a player who has performed admirably similarly to Havertz run in the Serea A and the champions league.
A central/Attacking midfielder who's tall, strong ,very good in the air and can also play behind the striker .
His goal & assists stats for over 2 seasons are awesome. His ability to drive from the midfield and make defining passes sets him apart from our current mid fielders. He's even more defensively sound than this overrated Havertz.

I see another KDB/Mo Salah situation playing out in 2/3seasons.

pasalic may be as good as you say maybe better. But after 5seasons on loan and looked past by the three previous managers and no other club was interested. Considering that the loans he has been in over the past 6years would have fetched 10m-15m plus the 15m they sold him for, it's still cheap but at times relationship with clubs are important especially if we end up signing one of Atlanta's good player easily. We are rumoured after their LB or LWB, he might be as good at ajax & Porto lb.

look at van ginkel as good as he is supposed to be, he is just there.

Did you want us to compete or just participate in competition next season?

Havertz is better than all our current AM, did you we even have a proper AM except mount?
Ruben and Barkley we just let us participate in competition but not with realistic chance of winning it.
Ruben is still an upcoming at 24 and we don't know what to expect,
Barkley is best as an option not the main because we don't know the Barkley that will show up in matches.
We can afford to keep our hope on Barkley and Ruben to make us competitive next season.
I support the view of blueangel on that pasalic claim.

Mehn. Kanye is at it again. It's more sad than hilarious this time around. Nigga went on a rant on Twitter and said Kim tried to lock him up with the doctors. Called out everyone from his mother-in-law to Drake. The guy just totally lost it.

Black mental health needs to be taken seriously. We, especially Africans think mental issues is a white man's thing. You hear people say things like "they are too soft" or "they are spoilt". The truth is we are all battling one form of mental illness or the other. It's more dangerous than physical ailments in that it's more subtle. It creeps up on you and eats at your psyche bit by bit.

Tamar Braxton attempted suicide over the weekend but was rescued in time. Avicii, Chester Bennington and others weren't so lucky. That shows you being rich and famous doesn't make you immune to this disease. Suicide rates are going up everyday.

I would have kept Pasalic over Barkley but that ship has sailed.

Guys are being harsh on RLC sha. It's not that easy to come back from 1 full year injury just like that. You can't judge him on this season. Also recall he missed the latter half of his loan at Palace with back problem which was just clearing up halfway through Sarris tenure, so he only really played half a season under Sarri at full fitness.

Havertz is a good buy though. If we can complement him with a GK, LB and CB, we should be good to go. We have enough deadwood to sell to afford all of them. We can buy decent ones in all those positions for £25m-£30m average which selling Emerson, Bakayoko, Alonso, Moses, Zappacosta, Jorginho, Chris, Batsman, Barkley and even Tammy etc should be able to get us. So far we are still spending Hazard, Morata, Boga and Pasalic money. I still need another fast striker with good hold up play though. Both Giroud and Werner limit your tactical options. With Giroud you can't play fast counterattack or efficient high pressing. With Werner, you can't play long balls when under pressure. We still need a striker with both qualities.

This is the problem. Everyone keeps trivializing this issue. Someone that admits he is bipolar and had a serious mental breakdown few years ago. Is it until you wake up one morning and hear Kanye killed Kim and their kids before commiting suicide before you people start taking these things seriously?
