Why is there such a hefty price tag on Kabak? Watched him against RBL, and he did 5 or 6 things that worried me.Someone's been watching some Schalke. That's two I would think about as well.

Was just giving you shit. I think it's a fun exercise but I didn't feel many would do it.The fact of the matter is that I need to expand my database.
Watching Sabitzer closely, I see that he does not want to receive the ball under pressure. You know what that kind of thing does to me.
I guess it's because he is a 19yo CB and he also does a few things that are good. I like him and am interested in seeing more and will. That was a horrible 'tumble' he took. I would have considered him in my team but BC did say 'realistic' and they are not letting him go...and we'd rather waste another 3 years on making a decision on Sanchez that I was comfortable making a couple years ago.Why is there such a hefty price tag on Kabak?

That's fair enough. This is my first season watching Ligue 1 and BuLi. I barely watch any La Liga or Serie A. And I haven't heard of a lot of the names being thrown around by guys like you and reachingforthestars.Was just giving you shit. I think it's a fun exercise but I didn't feel many would do it.
In the clips I put together? Dived in a bit, and got it badly wrong.That was a horrible 'tumble' he took.
I watch NO Serie A. No time and just no fun anyway. But I think my 'pick a team' and watch all their games plan is inspired if I say so myself. And though I am a HLM (as I am told) I'd like to think I'm being objective there. I watched that Rennes-Nantes game somewhat because of this.That's fair enough.

Will DL be considering things like this when the price is 'right'?70 mins into this Eintracht Frankfurt v RBL game, and my boner for Sabitzer has shriveled into nothing. When RBL's CBs are playing out from the back, he does not show for the ball at all. He is, as you might say, a counter-attacking player.
He puts his players into positions and tactical setups to succeed. I like him. I still never would have switched Poch for him (loyalty may be my downfall as well) but I sure as fuck would have taken him immediately afterward. I was crushed when I was taking in a Hoffenheim game and they mention he signed that early contract...to fucking RBL. But truth be told it's a perfect situation for him. Glad he didn't go directly to Bayern (if that is his desire).It is remarkable what Nagelsmann can do with 2 CMs (Laimer and Sabitzer) who do not want the ball from their CBs. That is a hell of a handicap to have. But they (RBL) do everything in numbers; they are quite exhilarating in that regard.
They're on the transfer thread.I know nothing of your clips.
Because of what?I watched that Rennes-Nantes game somewhat because of this.

Yeah, I'm there trying to catch up AND respond to the absolute bollocks that BC posted, again, while also keeping my train of thought and making my post intelligible...and you keep pulling me out of that.They're on the transfer thread.
Well, I was following Rennes somewhat since you suggested. But also because it was a derby, I've been keeping tabs on Blas since he was 1 of my Guingamp 3, and I wanted to concentrate on Louza. Mulitiple reasons but 15 birds with 1 stone on the other side of the fence in the green grass with the spilled milk.Because of what?

We do not have the third best squad very odd that anyone can reach that conclusion.I wouldn’t go crazy with a total overhaul. Despite how shite it’s felt like we’ve been for the last year or so, talent wise I still feel we’ve got the 3rd best squad in the league.
Would get rid of those in bold below which would generate £70m (I’m not counting the £10m allocated for Jan given his contract).
Hardest of those to decide on was Moura - torn between him and Alli who I’m not sure where he fits if we play our best suited formations - but ultimately there’s a world class player in there.
So with £170m I would then sign Foster (free) Aarons (£30m), Atal (£40m), Partey (£50m), Matuidi (free) and King (£20m). Leaving £30m free for any January additions.

Chelsea have out played us twice so far and were unfortunate not to have won by more, utd are getting it together now, only Woolwich who are starting to get their defence right are probably as weak as us.skywalker68 Would you swap our squad for Utd, Chelsea or Woolwich’s?

I think we have more problems than that both RBs need changing and a DM needs to come in, but imo we still need to replace the CBs, goalkeeper and another forward is required before we get back amongst it.Would you swap our squad for Utd, Chelsea or Woolwich’s?
Wholeheartedly agree ....but would you swap their playing squads?
For me the most despicable aspect of those two Chelsea non-performances is that both times I looked at the respective teams before kick off and thought “we SHOULD have these”.
my point is, we’ve got a couple of glaring holes at Right back and defensive midfield which if fixed along with a change of tactics and attitude easily has us in the top 4
The DM role is vital. It was a long time ago but I remember us being all over the place like now and we brought in Terry Yorath as DM and the change in our performance and results was startling. Redknapp did the same when he arrived bringing in a new DM in the first transfer window. Yes it looks like we need numerous changes but get the right DM in and some of the other problems will reduce.I think we have more problems than that both RBs need changing and a DM needs to come in, but imo we still need to replace the CBs, goalkeeper and another forward is required before we get back amongst it.
Cor your going back to the 80s I do remember that but yes the DM position is vital, although that doesn't stop poor positional sense of our full backs nor does that stop our keepers from spilling or failing to save easy shots.The DM role is vital.

You’ve not answered my question tho about whether you’d swap our squad with Utd, Chavs or Woolwich?I think we have more problems than that both RBs need changing and a DM needs to come in, but imo we still need to replace the CBs, goalkeeper and another forward is required before we get back amongst it.
Probably would swap some of our squad out yes although I don't think we was ever in a title race previously as you mentioned.You’ve not answered my question tho about whether you’d swap our squad with Utd, Chavs or Woolwich?
I’m far from happy with the state of things at the club at the minute. But I still think we’ve got more talent overall than those 3 - which makes the current predicament worse.
Poch’s best years came when we clearly had a squad for 4th-6th but were competing for the title those 2 years. That was an overachievement whereas now I think we’re underachieving with what we have!
