On a more serious note - no Rapha & Binks… Whats going on there?

Hull will be licking their lips after that

The key is the replacements. Brentford lost their 2 best players (Watkins & Benrahma) and still got promoted - they didn't burn or lose a season Clearly our replacements fell through and we had to get Ayari. We were still pushing for Swift on deadline day IIRC (glad we missed out) Was also the...

JDS is not a Phil Parkinson player

They've got Bogle who is a better RB - unless they want MvE for depth (I doubt he'd want that) I don't see it

Surprised we haven't seen any solid links for MvE - would expect more noise at this stage There were rumours of Fulham but they've retained Tete - so I reckon they've gone cold Only team in real need in the Prem is Everton as they tried and failed to sign Tete. Galatasaray might renew their...

Quite like the design. My big issue with Hummel is that the quality won't do the design justice

A lot of flux in the other 11 at the minute: - Everton: hardly any players - Wolves: lost Cunha/Ait Nori - Brentford: lost manager & losing Mbuemo/Norgaard, interest in Wissa - Forest*: lost Gibbs-White/Elanga - Bournemouth: lost Huijsen/Kerkez, interest in Zabarnyi - West Ham: shite & lost...

We'll definitely be looking to shift a striker to get in a winger IMO For all the "options" people are adding as our depth on the wing - only 2 of them (3 if Rapha comes good but feels unlikely) actually play the role how Lampard wants & both have had injury issues in January we signed...

Agree that a winger should be a priority but we need to shift a striker first

Haji not getting a full pre-season for the 3rd season in a row is pretty frustrating

By the numbers is looks like they've been added to FB. I take your point (and you might be right) but it doesn't really matter when we don't play with WBs... in a 4231/433 wingers are most likely to be substituted meaning we could do with another quality winger as we only have 3 natural ones

Yeah last season has really skewered peoples perceptions of him - we're talking about a top 5 CM statistically in the 2 seasons prior I really want him to have a 40 game season without a 6 week mid-season injury - but evidence suggests otherwise

"In this context, the positions where the most replacements are made during the match are respectively attackers, wide and central midfielders and after these positions, fullbacks and central defenders" Source -- Position Count Avg. Minutes Full Minutes (%) > 60 Mins (%) Forward 112...

Wingers are the most substituted position in football due the energy exerted followed by CM then ST - these are the positions that you would typically prioritize 2 per position

If MvE stays you could probably manage - but he's not Winger is where you definitely need 4 quality players to rotate throughout a season

Even with the Rapha renaissance I would want to get a winger - both EMC & Saka have has injury issues and he can't be the only cover

October being mentioned now :ROFLMAO: Dovin will be back for the first game at the rate people keep shortening his recovery in their head

Did someone say Sporting are at the same resort at the same time? Could be them

"As long as" being a key point here - ACLs are tricky to time frame and causes strain on other leg muscles & ligaments He's as likely to suffer a setback and be back in March as he is to be back in November
