How Dry should our Powder be?

Until we sign a player for the starting eleven, it's pretty hard to rate it any higher than a 6.

And it's only a 6 because we've managed to get rid of alot of shit that shouldn't have filled the squad up. Which is great

Weve made one addition to the squad this window and it's a teenager for 40m and he isn't even a starter.
6/10 is extremely generous. Agree with the rest.
 
None of those players could do what I've suggested Romero do - in certain scenarios - better than Romero.

A lot of hysteria going on tbh.

*Because Kane lost pace, I suggested he play #10 (AT TIMES), where he would get more assists and still score loads of goals.

SC megaminds went bonkers (some are on here now...going bonkers now); Kane went on to play not only 10 (unofficially), he dropped even deeper and controlled games - increasing his assists and ending up being our highest goal scorer.

Clear to see he had the technique to do what the fuck he wanted and still score tons. you just had to be able to see it.

It's lonely living in the future.
To be honest mate we're all individuals see things others seem to think is Alien to them. The game is about opinions.

I thought Kulusevski would be a good option(still do) at inverted LB in this system when udogie was unavailable.... I got laughed at.

As we've struggled to shift players for a number of years I'm happy so far. Deadwood around the club has caused us problems salary wise and space wise so glad we are on a better track.
I believe we will make some decent additions before the end of the window so remaining calm on that front.
 
We don’t know what Romero would be like playing as a DM, but its a difficult position to play in so the chances are he’d struggle.

If people who have played as DM’s at the highest level are struggling then the chances of him succeeding aren’t too high either.

It’s more than just defending, you need to be good on the ball andbe able to play under pressure. There’s no room for error because it will lead to a clear chance at goal for the opposition due to where you'd be positioned on the pitch.

It also requires more positional awareness because you don’t have the entire field in front of you and you need to be able to block potential passing angles which is more difficult in midfield.

Not to mention the certainty of losing our best central defender on the off chance Romero is a good DM, a position he's never played before.

Is this suicidal ?

Others call it rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
 
I see your point, but he would, I'm my opinion, against the best front lines in the league, be best suited to CB and us having our best 6 play at 6 for our forward transitions.
I don't think it's as far "out there" as some are suggesting, in light of the fact the thinky has said "for some games" repeatedly.

I think he'd be badly exposed against the more elite teams, but I highly doubt we'd ever play him there in those games.

We won't do it anyway, but I can see the logic behind it for the low block merchants. Even at DM the game would be right in front of him, very little reason for him to take the ball on the half turn in those games. Any top pressing side might expose him though.
 
Ange is our first manager to start and finish a season in so long.

Should really have given him the tools earlier in the window to make adjustments for the season ahead

Surely we must have something basically done and waiting on selling club to be ready before we announce
