If the rumoured Barca interest in Verts is true we could end up with a back four of Alderwiererld, Wimmer, Dier and Carter-Vickers. That's still not bad.
 
I think there are more than enough games to keep two strikers happy, and the option for two up top might be useful against bottom-half sides that we've traditionally struggled to seal all three points against.

I just seen Kane & Austin as players who , if fit , want to on the pitch. That's my reason for doubting that Austin will come to us unless Poch uses 2 up front more often. Something I think he should do.
 
I know this is probably a waste of my time typing this, but could we keep things on the topic of transfers??? This thread is turning into dear diary or battle royale with whoever is arguing with Sammy, it's getting very tedious scrolling through the bullshit

Writes an off topic post about arguing, and nothing..... Nothing about transfers.

If we were ever able to get out of just using a 4231 and change it up a bit..
Also if we were able to get Berahino, I would personally like us to try something like this.
 
Nabil had a bad couple of games this season, okay, but now everyone rates Mason above him? what?

I think its a clear indication that they should not be our first choice pairing.

Mason tailed off drastically last year, and Bentaleb has started the season like he´s drunk. Both need to grow without the excessive weight on their shoulders.

Now we have Toby highlighting the importance of us signing a DM too.

The manager is not being backed in this window, but for the first time in a decade, people are widely celebrating it as our new policy.
 
The fact we've managed to finish 5th or higher so many times is quite incredible and a lot to do with other teams cocking up. The fact is we're the 6th richest team in the league and can not afford the significantly higher wages of the teams above us. We finished 4th the first time because City were still building and the second time because Chelsea had a horrible season in the league. Then throughout these years Liverpool seem to have been consistently under achieving which handed us the 5th and 4th place finishes they should really be getting.

Our way forwards is the new stadium, until that's built the best we can do is build the foundations of a great team and enjoy it. If we manage a miracle 4th place finish that would be great but we can't expect it.

I'm enjoying our football at the moment and I'm loving the passion shown by all our players, especially the youth graduates. The best part about where we are at the moment though is because of the way we are building our team we can really only go forwards.

Welcome back first off....

I see your point, but I just dont understand how we can accept a transitional season 3 years in a row.

I could accept stagnating between 5th and 6th, if the football was good. But we stagnate, and we never learn.

We spent years without a proper DM until we signed Palacios..we had Sandro, we had Parker, we had Capoue....all gone, and we are back with a problem that we had already fixed.

What happens next year while we are all happy and content with 6th?

Because I tell you one thing, Lloris wont be here. Maybe Eriksen and Jan too.

So, we may (MAY) have our striker by then....but oh look. We need a keeper and a playmaker.

Same shit, different part of the pitch....cant have the best keeper in Europe and be happy with 6th.

I'd like to see this. Kane has the work rate to get back and cover whilst supporting Austin or whoever we bring in. My only concern would be too lightweight in CM and not enough cover for Tobes and Jan. TOby said himself we need more cover from the CM for the defence.
