Nah, in 343 the one that is usually responsible for opp dm is the 3 attacker as in 343 the front 3 tend to be narrow defensively

Selling Cucurella is normal stuff. Pool sold diaz last season. We sold Matic a while ago. You don't want to sell starter however if the player is close to 30, you need to make a decision because there won't be another chance to cash in.

International football is less transitiony than PL. In international tourney, you can play Enzo or even jorgi as dm and it won't be a big problem

I don't think you will like the reason why Sunderland can do that.

I am not sure this is true. It is hard to sell Enzo and Caicedo because those two are already in completely different salary bracket to the three player that you mentioned. I think you can easily find buyer for Santos if you want to.

Santos, Caicedo, enzo can do this just fine.

United is trying to reduce their salary. We don't hear anything bad about Chilwell yet we sent him to bomb squad.

This. Many talked about signing this or this or that. We have signed Quenda, Emegha and Barco.

No team will sign Rashford as he is 29 on crazy salary, it is as simple as that. For free and reasonable salary, Rashford is definitely an option. The problem we already have so many attacker in the squad

If Rashford is not on crazy salary, you will have a lot of team queuing for him. All of this "attitude/toxic" issue is really more for fans. In reality most of the time player get along just fine.

If signing Semenyo guarantee cl then blue co would have signed Semenyo but I am not sure this true. If you sign Semenyo and you don't finish top 5,then it is worse.

The money is there however let's just last summer as example. If you combine Garnacho and Gittens transfer, you probably get Semenyo. The problem is Semenyo is 26, 4 years from now you cannot sell him as he will be 30 on massive wages. So in 4 years you need to shell another 70 m. With gittens and garnacho, 4 years from now they will be only 25. Even if both flop you can probably sell them 25 m each and get 50 m to sign another winger.

Should we sign Rashford? He is 29 on crazy salary, nobody will sign him.

This, it is bizzare reading how fans asses talent. Rashford straight away will be one of our best attacker.

Our problem last season is not cb.

There are only two tactic in Madrid. How do you get all this superstar player to run/press defensively and how do you get them to do stuff that they don't really like offensively. Done

This thread is strange. Can we compete for top 5 with current squad? Yes. We have top 5 salary.

Playing fast/riskier and pressing sound good on theory. The riskier ball you play, the more you lose the ball and you have to press more. The last time we were a crazy good pressing team was under TT, it was not just because TT is a very good coach, it was because mount, Timo, Kai were very good at pressing and you have Kante destroying everyone, two athletic fb and two lightning quick wide cb. When we played Lukaku straight away our pressing effectiveness drop.

I think you misunderstood the quote, being flexible is not about the manager. Tactic is more about the quality of the playe and how the player interpret the situation.

This. I remembered posting this here during poch season. There is also another video that I posted here of Alonso talking abou that he wanted more consistent players and leverkusen signed 3 elderly players. Find it

Juventus salary in 2025 was just slightly more than West ham

So obvious. Regardless what you think of Konate, by now, all of us know what type of player that we will sign.

Once again, you make this too complicated. In perfect world, I want 11 wc players, we will finish with 100+ points and win everything but that is not realistic. Regardless what you think of Jp, who you rather have. WC ST + Gittens Or WC winger + JP

So you agree that you can win without having elite st if the goal come everywhere and you have very good defense.

Gyokeres, Kai are not elite st. It is that simple. You are making football too difficult. Having elite st help, but not having one is not a problem. Rather than position, we need to look more on what aspect do we need to imrpove on next season as a team?
