If he can't do it in a Simone team he can't do it anymore . The way people assume players are still at their best may as well get gazza in.

Or we could just have tactics...like at Porto one FB stayed back while the other one went forward. I prefer balance then this weird idea that only one FB can be attacking. Remember Rose and Walker - that was pretty full on.We could alternate and play Dier or Tanganga as rb with an attacking lb though.
Or a conventional 3 at the back with proper wing backs.
But a club with our ambition involved in four completions needs competition for places surely.Not if he's just gonna sit on the bench or be injured every week
And dependant on how the midfield was set up to allow it.Or we could just have tactics...like at Porto one FB stayed back while the other one went forward. I prefer balance then this weird idea that only one FB can be attacking. Remember Rose and Walker - that was pretty full on.
I don't watch so much Spanish football so get my opinions from those who do and I respect. Sid low (Spanish football podcast) is saying other than his goals Suarez is now invisible, his legs are gone and he offers nothing off the ball now. He still has quality and will score a screamer but that off the ball isn't there anymore, plus he will most likely have a injury break based on the past couple of years.Being a forward isnt just about scoring goals - look at players like Firmino.
Costa and Suarez would be a handful for defenders and would be a nightmare to player against, making more room for our skillful finishers in Alli, Son and Kane.
I highly doubt we would sign anyone over 30 that expects 150k a week+..... Unless his name rhymes with fail.
Maybe Jose wants an option to go 3 at the back with Reguilon and Doherty as wing backs in some games? He has pretty much said he doesn't think Sessegnon can do the defensive part of that job.Reguilon doesn’t really make sense. He’s really attacking and I’m expecting Doherty (if he signs) to be the one FB that is given license to get forward. That’s why I think Jose is happy to stick with Davies. He probably won’t cross the halfway line.

And if he doesn't make the grade, that'll be why we passed on him. Hindsight is 20:20.16 million fee, scouting system fails us again. No good going after the lad when he's an established prem player, if he does well his price could be 70-80m.
There is risk with all buys, see Ndombele, Soldado etc. 16m is low risk if he don't make the grade not much money is lost on him.And if he doesn't make the grade, that'll be why we passed on him. Hindsight is 20:20.
£16m in COVID times for someone who doesn't start games, or £16m for Matt Doherty? They'll sell Zaha so can see why they've done it.There is risk with all buys, see Ndombele, Soldado etc. 16m is low risk if he don't make the grade not much money is lost on him.
