Time to seal that extension NOW, before Arsenal and Newcastle even make an offer, because there have been reports they have been sniffing around, prepared to make an offer if the extension gets any more delayed. And give him a first team number. Let him take over number 11, he's a better LW...

Future club captain as well. For me he has to be already be made 2nd captain next season after Ter Stegen...and even that only because of Ter Stegen's longevity at the club, but Araujo has to be next in line for the captaincy. Get rid of the 3 remaining captains this summer. And then no more...

Yep. Christensen is too good to be benched when he's like this. And with him and Araujo already developing some good chemistry and complimenting each other and canceling each other's weaknesses so nicely (just please stay healthy, you two!) Kounde just might have to settle with playing RB...

Best moment in the game was towards the end of the first half when literally banished Vini all the way to RW. :lol: I guess the diver got tired of getting bullied by our tank. ;)

Hopefully Gavi can get used into playing alongside De Jong in that deeper position in the 4-2-3-1 or in our case more of a 4-3-3 with a CAM (which I hope will be our standard formation going forward), even though I worry that he's not defensive enough or that we'd be wasting his ability to get...

I'm wondering if this formation would work with Gavi alongside De Jong and a classic LW? Would be absolutely massive for us if it did. De Jong can take care of the defensive side, Gavi is everywhere on the pitch anyway, but the biggest strength in that position being his tenacity and ball...

If it happens (don't think Inter will go for it), for once, I believe we'd come better off in a swap. Even though Brozovic has 4 years on Kessie, he'd fit us much more than (slow poke) Kessie does. Brozo would make the post-Busquets transition much easier, and would probably thankfully encourage...

Could Gavi be that ball winner though? He certainly has the lungs and the aggression and tenacity for it. Even though he killed it tonight as an inside LW. Would still rather have him in that midfield, and having two classic wingers up front.

This aged well tonight. :p

So Balde played LW? I thought it was more of a 4-2-2-2, but with Balde bombing forward quite a lot. Huh, maybe it was was 3-2-2-3, at least when attacking.

Might not even go anywhere. Napoli are notorious for being a not selling club, when it comes to their best players. Very different from for example Ajax and Dortmund, who also produce many great players, but they always sell them basically at the first big offer. Plus Osimhen is reportedly very...

Or Madrid, if Benzema returns to Lyon. Kinda always saw him joining Madrid, he's very similar to Benzema in terms of being a complete attacking package, link up play and all, sometimes even playing as a CAM (or at least CF) more than a typical target man. And Madrid does have a big history of...

Close! :p

I actually find Martinelli much more impressive. Maybe it's the Brazilian flair. And he can play up front too.

That's funny, I think he's struggled at Inter exactly because he has to play second striker in their 3-5-2 formation. Would suit a team with wingers much more. At least he has good pace and dribbling...unlike Ferran and Depay, who we keep wanting to play as wingers, even though they're anything but.

I think we wanted Carrasco first and would do the swap with Atletico, but they refused, so we're trying anything to get at least something (or someone) before his contract runs out, which makes complete sense. At least we put Correa on maybe an 18 month contract, so we have leverage, even if we...

You'd think permanent, considering Depay's contract ends in 5 months. Don't think we're stupid enough to gift Depay to anyone just to get someone on loan. Will probably put Correa on a lot lower salary than Depay as well, and most likely a similar length wise as we offered Depay when we got him...

Better than letting Depay go for free in 5 months for sure. Probably better than Carrasco too, since he's a year younger, so he has a bit more (not much though) re-sale value. Even though Carrasco could bring something good too, but I'm kinda glad we refuse to deal with Pathetico again, cause...

Nice joke :lol: If you mean 'almost falling asleep when we're passing it at the back' many chances to score, then yes.

Yep. Him and Casemiro together would be pretty great, Massive upgrade on Fred, who did play fantastic today though, credit to him.
