Think I’d prefer to see what Vuskovic is capable of first.
Have a sneaky suspicion he pulls a Bergvall this season
I disagree, it's been reinforced
I have the same strength qualities as The Rock, even if he can bench press 250 kilos and I struggle to push 100.Estève interview from May:
“When I was young, I dreamed of playing in the Premier League. I watched basically just that on the TV […] My dream is to play for a top-six team in England. I wouldn’t say there is any club in particular but my dream is to go there,” said the Frenchman.
He then revealed that he is a fan of Tottenham Hotspur players of the past and present. “My favourite player [when I was young] was Gareth Bale when he was playing at Tottenham because when I was younger, I was a left-winger and a left-back,” said Éstève before revealing a current Tottenham defender as a player he aspires to.
“There is a player that I like a lot in the Premier League that not everyone talks about – Micky van de Ven. He is very quick and I like him a lot because I think that I have the same speedy qualities, even if he is a lot quicker. I’m inspired by him because he is a player who is of a similar profile to me,” he said.

I just think a CB needs more experience specially in the PL. Be good to let him make some mistakes someone else.
WellI put a winking emoji or something’. Otherwise it’s just a dry-assed post.Sadly; few people includingRebrov_Likes have nsoh.
"I like him, but 25mil fee + 40k pw wages is out of our price range. We don't want to do a Leeds, people! Find me a cheaper version of the kid. Has Takai got a brother or cousin?"
352 perhaps; but we haven't got dominant enough MFers to play only 2 in the middle.
Danso, VDV, Esteve + Vusko isn't enough if we're playing 3CBs.
Normally yes.
I don’t think this kid is normal
Cubarsi plays for Barca. He’s in that category
Only 3CBs registered for the CL???
Like we have the personal to play a double-pivot 4-2-3-1 ?
We need to keep things on the DL or his price will go through the roof. Right now it's just unnecessary tension building up. Let's just survey the market and review our blueprint.
I fucking hate wonky formations.
Bentancur, Bissouma, Gray, Sarr and Bergvall are all capable of playing in the double pivot.
Bentancur did it pretty well with PEH and he wasn't a specialist no 6
This is what happens when you have an unbalance squad
Diff. If you still have another 4 men ahead of them.
TBF that is mostly due to a lack of service.
The more recent incumbent selection of players are all selfish and shite City/Chelsea players. We'll no doubt struggle under Tuchel because none of them want to assist and want to score for themselves. The likes of Foden, Madueke, Bellingham, and Palmer seem so wasteful instead of actually creating chances.
It did initially look like that would also be the case at Bayern but he's found a good equilibrium there that I think comes from club football and getting used to your team mates, whereas the england meetups always seem like what I imagine youtuber meets to be (all ego and no collaboration)
"I like him, but 25mil fee + 40k pw wages is out of our price range. We don't want to do a Leeds, people! Find me a cheaper version of the kid. Has Takai got a brother or cousin?"
these kind of posts might be valid if it wasn't for the fact that we gave them £30m or so for a young winger last summer, and have just spend near that £25m on Danso.
It's what makes it more likely that we sign him
PEH begging able to clog the holes that allowed Bentancur to affective. They played very well off each other.
Not saying I miss him or anything, but we don't have a PEH in this squad. We have a bunch of ball carrying 8s.
