How many centre backs did we sign when we conceded 58 goals in Pochs first season?
No, I'm saying the other source might be.
The defence gets blamed a lot but a portion of our goals came from the lack of pressure from the front guys and the spaces that the oppo were getting into.
Any defence will look shit if you're not cutting off the supply in the first instance.
Don't know - Don't care - that's the past, another season of dier, sanchez and lenglet and Levy deserves all the toxicity that will come his way
5 centre backs currently isnt it? I think its pretty clear none of those 5 outside Romero have a future at the club and most will go this summer, even if its loans. (I suspect Dier stays for the last year of his contract) If you're a serious club, with aspirations of achieving something you need 3 front line centre backs. Tapsoba can play either side, VDV left back so there is flexability there. I think with Romeros fitness record, suspensions and international jaunts there is plenty of minutes for all 3. Tapsoba would have ACN as well.
But you know we aren't going into a season with them three and are quite clearly going for new defenders.
100 % correct. Hojbjerg and skippy plodding about and a front 3 that never got out a jog when the opportunity was there to press was just as big a problem as our defenders not doing the basics of defending at times.
Hopefully we are able to get them and get rid of the deadwood.
I don't get why though..
Vicario 16m
Maddison 40m
Van der ven 30m
with Winks going out 10m
so 76m net
then Tasoba at what? 40m?
116m net
with around 10 players still to sell. It's extremely doable.
edit
ok forgetting the Kulusevski and Porro deals which makes it 181m net.
It doesn't sound like VDV is ready for the prem then?
Never heard of him but Wiki says;
''Oscar Gloukh is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Austrian Bundesliga club Red Bull Salzburg and the Israel national team''
Talented Israeli youth player, was one of the players of the tournament for the U19 Euros in 2022, and scored a cracker in the final vs England. Salzburg just bought him last year though, it's too early for them to sell him.
Ehm, I dunno, maybe it speaks well of whoever is targeting these players but they both look pretty good and both have a chance to do well in PL. I've always thought Tapsoba a little flaky in some
of his defending at times(low crosses especially) but vdv is miles away from where you'd want him to be at clearing the ball with his head. But both a good fit for a team that wants to win back the ball high up the field and play it around quickly. Basically giving you a non-answer to that one haha, I think you'd need to be watching 15-20 full games before you can give a somewhat authoritive call
He's definitely a good player with plenty upside. Wolfsburg aren't Dortmund, but their scouting is still solid, they often spot promising young talent.
Whenever I watched him in the Bayernliga last season, he looked exciting. Bit like Vicario, he's the type that's always gonna entertain you...either by going one of them crazy runs forward that's becoming his trademark or by making a big, silly booboo 20 yards from his own goal. But he's just a boy with little experience so course he's excitable.
If Ange manages to keep him calm, composed & focused for 90+ mins, all without taking away that craziness he's got, we've got a potential beast on our hands.
Nice player, will be against England u21s tomorrow evening at 5 o'clock. Year or two away from this transfer making sense, one to watch out for if he keeps improving though. Has a really dogged, determined attitude for a creative midfield type.
How are we playing Romero, Tapsoba, VDV every match ?
Do you know which TV channel that will be on?
Uefa.tv app airing all the games for free.. not sure beyond that
He's ready. Just not as far along in his development like Tapsoba is.
It's a shame if we sign him, he'd be labelled by some as "the cheaper option" like Vic Flair was.
