If we don't have 6's and 8's what are the role definitions for the 3?

something like this?:

Build Up Initiator/Ball Winner:
Biss
Bentancur
Gray

Ball Winner/Box Crasher:
Sarr
Bentancur
Bergvall

Build Up Initiator/Final 3rd Creative:
Maddison
Kulusevksi
Bergvall

If we split them that way the I can see why he still thinks we need a player who can win the ball and crash the box because Sarr is really our only one. Bentancur could maybe do it but he's athletically more suited to the first role, even if he does love to press.

Yeh something like that. If you watch how we play it’s really not that different to how Liverpool try to play under Klopp and Slot is similar, they use 4-3-3 high press, midfielders pushing in behind 3 attackers. Main difference is we use our full backs almost as midfielders and keep our wingers wider but the rest is very similar even the players we look at.

With all these links to Gallagher, Joao I think Ange wants his Henderson. Someone who is relentless.

He has 1 in Sarr but I think he feels that isn't enough for depth and last season Sarr needed to give him more in terms of box crashing for goals. Another one in not only keeps Sarr fresh but also pushes him and the new player to improve due to competing against each other.

Not sure I saw all those links but even then, I don't think any of them are #6's. There are ball winners there but that's not the same as a single pivot #6. Zubimendi is the only one really.
 
Mourinho also took over the club when it was in much worse shape, with a worse squad and a much lower budget due to COVID. And he didn't complain nearly as much, he didn't act like he was bigger than the club.

Now, this is proper ITK as it has most of the ingredients in a "proper" ITK post:
-No punctuations,
-No capital letters
-Grammatical mistakes
-Misspellings (unless he's talking Joe Gomez)

Re gomez at wolves there is an interest but wolves want massive money even more than neto we are very far apsrt

While Herclueless follows up with his usual vagueness blah blah.

Hercules on SC
There is another unnamed midfielder lined up, just Incase we can’t agree on Gomes.

We would spend that or near. Depends on a lot of factors.

“Depends on a lot of factors” - people actually pay for that shit

Here is one for free from me - we might sign Lionel Messi, it depends on a lot of factors

THEY GET PAID FOR THAT, ACTUAL MONEY
 
Mario Hermoso is being talked about. Cover for van de Ven and Udogie? He's never been known for having 'the legs' so probably not the right player. He is free though so someone might put their hand up

:levyeyes:

That lad from Bordeaux is a left back/left midfielder, he must only be 20? 21? Can't remember his name but the only reason he was let go was due to his club collapsing (kin state of football!). He might be better suited, has a larger engine and yes, he's also free
