247 597 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Quality that we've got these 2 in. I dont want to be the one to put a downer on it but lets be real here, we know we were scouting Almerion through the summer so why the fuck didnt Ashley just pull the trigger then? Its so fucking frustrating man, think about what it took for him to spend some mon- uh.. take out a loan The dreaded hope is back now.. maybe he will fuck off after all this summer and Rafa will sign a 5 year deal with new owners.

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 A desperation signing for fear of Benitez leaving. Benitez should leave anyway, if one average fee player convinces him that Ashley has turned the corner then he's pretty gullible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafas a much smarter man than that im sure. Edited January 31, 2019 by 247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 We've let Murphy, Roberts and Aarons go. Given we play with 2 wingers we really need more than 3 in the squad. We dont even own 1 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont even own 1 of them Atsu, Ritchie, Kenedy + Almiron and this Barreca kid can both apparently play as attacking wide men too. Mind you, do we really play with out and out 2 wingers? I've thought it was wingbacks and two attacking midfielders who start fairly central? If I'm right you can add Muto and Perez to the above.

acrossthepond 877 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Perez regularly plays on the wing. We'll be fine. Murphy appears so rarely anyway, and Aarons even less than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Square pegs in round holes though. The wing back formation has been forced because our only left back is currently injured. For most of the season our wingers have naturally pulled wide and gone at the opposition full backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
247 597 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Yeah im expecting to see Perez on the wing/inside forward a bit now with Almerion playing in the #10 role, we really could have done with that lad from Nantes in so Perez and Almerion could compete for the #10 spot but we are owned by Mike Ashley so Edited January 31, 2019 by 247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 35095 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 More cover would be good but we’re still in a better position than we were you would think, even in wide positions, as those who’ve been allowed to leave are probably cover at best. And I seem to remember Perez having played wide a bit. He’s not good enough to play as a no. 10 anyway but he’s played there because we haven’t had anyone else 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez seems to like the 3 CBs though and when that's arguably our strongest position it makes sense to keep using it. Can't imagine we're going to change to a 4-4-2, or owt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Murphy will run all day but has ZERO end product, literally does the hard work to get into a good position then his head explodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Might be the blind optimist in me but I reckon Muto has more than he’s shown too. Could be coming back off an Asian Cup win as well, providing Qatar’s extraordinary doping plan doesn’t prove too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I agree, he's crap. But he's also played in about 40% of our games this season as a starter or a sub. If Kenedy, Atsu or Richie gets injured we are limited in our wide options off the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this Paraguayan kid hits the ground running. Knowing our luck, he’ll look mint then get his leg broken in his second game, a’la Ben Arfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
