That’s a good point. Didn’t bissouma have an injury and then also Covid? Might help explain it. Surely he starts over bentancur eventually?

COVID-19 in Korea and a knock of some kind but if he is in the team then those must no longer be an issue surely?

A start doesn’t mean 90 minutes. He needs minutes and he hasn’t looked great in the appearance he has made but it’s hard to show anything in a late cameo…..especially as a defensive midfielder

Thanks for recognising that I knocked out brockville with my wit and intellect.

Always knew you weren’t all bad!

the boring unoriginal sheep jokes I thought were beyond you and your big bald bonce though! I was wrong there! Now mind your business slaphead - Woolwich mania is missing you.
 
My view is to ignore this thread until Monday of next week. We’re clearly in shift the players mode and just doing enquiries and behind the scenes talks with incomings.

Once the outgoings actually put pen to paper then I expect we will go all out mid-next week for an AM, try for a CB but ultimately end up empty handed. Gun to my head it looks like we’ll sign one AM but that’s it, maybe a youth prospect or something.

I'm not sure what ENIC has to do with my question regarding available players that we are after, or where I brought ENIC up in the conversation. It just makes you look silly when, instead of answering a simple question, you make stuff up about what I said and change the topic.

We ended last season with huge momentum, IMO, for morale it was best to give that team the first game(s). Sess scored first, so was kept, missed big chance Vs Chelsea and Perisic has taken over.

Bissouma was injured/hampered, so his challenge to Hojbjerg and Bentancur has been held back.

Richarlison - felt he deserved Wolves start, but, understand Son has huge merit in the bank.

Lenglet - minor injury, was always going to have to oust Ben in training, or a poor game from Ben.

Personally, seems Conte has played it near perfect for meritocracy.

The overall depth of the squad is better but the quality into the first team hasn't improved that much imo.

Not easy to do. On points we are the 3rd best team in 2022 and only marginally off Liverpool. Perisic improves us. Bissouma probably will. Lenglet and Richardson at least push the first eleven to improve and have a shout of getting in. Spence is unknown but could be unreal and most likely will get into first 11.

Hope so. This place is about to self destruct between the what a great fucking window camp and the we just haven’t done enough camp hating on each other .

For me, I’m in the middle but my biggest concern is that the new signings have been here since Korea and yet only Perisic has made a start after 3 matches. We moved early so we could get them to hit the ground for the start of the season and yet that doesn’t seem to be the case…..Bissouma was the one that really gets me, third game and a 5 minute cameo??

Son is struggling, Richy looking decent and still no start??

Wolves buy a player last week and he starts against us on the weekend.

That is what concerns me about this window. Does Conte see it as depth and depth only or will we see these new faces improve the starting 11??

Richarlison couldn't feature in one. Lenglet couldn't feature in one. Surprised Bissouma hasn't played more given our weakness has clearly been getting heavily outnumbered in the middle.
Fraser and Spence aren't playing any time soon.

We have needed another CB all summer plus a more creative midfielder they still are not here.
Whilst the squad has been added to the lack of quality in those areas will cost us.

We. Don't. Need. A creative. Midfielder.

I mean, how many times does this need to be said????

Regarding a CB, which one should we go for, Antonio? VvD? De Ligt? Gvardiol? Bastoni? Rudiger? Maybe we should unsettle Ruben Dias so he would rather join us instead of that dump of a team he's playing for.

Gaaaaaah - this!!!!
Sometimes a player may not look like they're world class but they make other tick. There was a time when Carrick wasn't overly appreciated and he firmly fell into this category.
I'd even say Jenas did - often didn't look brilliant himself but the whole team was better when he was in it.

Of all the batshit mental stuff he's spouted lately, this is the one you pick him up on? He has a point, throwing all your new signings in leads to a lack of cohesion.

I just cannot comprehend how many people are so utterly oblivious to how pointless it would be to sign a player who's only role in the game is "creative midfielder"
We don't need it with the forward players at our disposal. We outscore almost everyone. We create plenty of chances. We are playing a system that is maybe too modern for some people who grew up in the 1990's and need a name for each position.

Quite a lot of hypothetical going on here I don't think we are as good as some of you think we are.

You keep saying this but there's been pretty solid links to the likes of Paqueta & Malinovski from the club, and if they aren't creative midfielders then what are they? We were also linked to Maddison but it seems either Conte wasn't on board or the finances didn't make sense.

I think it's pretty clear that we want someone in that vein, but just aren't prepared to spend huge on the position.
