Based on our end of season I think we’d be in trouble.Given this years transfer activity appears to completely revolve around Neves leaving (and that looks less and less likely by the hour), I am revising my previous suggestion to this.View attachment 28376
I think that team will come comfortably mid-table. Does anyone disagree?
I'd rather not see Hwang anywhere near the stadium let alone the bench but would be over the moon if Ruben was still a Wolf on the 1st day of the new season.Given this years transfer activity appears to completely revolve around Neves leaving (and that looks less and less likely by the hour), I am revising my previous suggestion to this.View attachment 28376

Tbf a few of the ones above could be sold as well if an offer comes in.Sa
Semedo Kilman Coady Toti RAN
Moutinho Ronan MGW
Neto
Raul
At present, I can’t include Neves they will probably sell him on the final day of the window
I agree but we can only go on what we already have. Note - I’m annoyed with things atm. What must Lage be thinking another year of potentially the same players who’s value will decrease next season because of contracts being a year less?Tbf a few of the ones above could be sold as well if an offer comes in.
I think our current best 11 would be:Given this years transfer activity appears to completely revolve around Neves leaving (and that looks less and less likely by the hour), I am revising my previous suggestion to this.View attachment 28376

I think Traore walks into both of those teams.I think our current best 11 would be:
SaOr:
Boly Coady killman
Jonny Neves Moutinho RAN
MGW Jimenez Neto
Sa
Jonny Boly Killman RAN
Neves Moutinho
Podence MGW Neto

Probably yeah, he was one I was basically thinking of as already gone!I think Traore walks into both of those teams.

The team is the same as last two seasons, bar MGW. It’s stale and hasn’t managed more than a goal a game the past two seasons. Bruno couldn’t get them playing a more attacking game and reverted back to Nuno ball of 19/20. Bottom 6.I think our current best 11 would be:

That not strictly true, RAN and Killman have developed a lot and last season Jonny and Neto were injured for most of it. Hopefully mgw can come in as a proper player now and Jimenez can return to his best.The team is the same as last two seasons, bar MGW. It’s stale and hasn’t managed more than a goal a game the past two seasons. Bruno couldn’t get them playing a more attacking game and reverted back to Nuno ball of 19/20. Bottom 6.
May reach 35 goals with that lot .Wouldn’t playing 433 be a less risky way of evolving into a back 4?
Even with 3 fairly defensive minded midfielders. Could even just use Neves Moutinho Donk. But also in a 3 Cundle and Jordao might be viable options?

flair - podence, neto, raul, neves, id say all have more flair than adama.I think 433 would be reasonably solid. I just don't see how we can play 'attractive' football with the players that we have. The only one with any real flair is Traore. We have to cut our coat accordingly, which I think is what Bruno and Nuno before him were forced to do.

I see your point. One thing that Adama rarely does is subtlety.I wouldn't say Flair with Adama it's more brute force and direct.
Flair players for me is Podence and MGW.
Gomes for Donk and podence for traore for meAs it stands:
Sa
Dendoncker, Coady, Kilman
Semedo (Jonny), Neves, Moutinho, RAN
Traore, Raul, Neto
As it stands:
Sa
Dendoncker, Coady, Kilman
Semedo (Jonny), Neves, Moutinho, RAN
Traore, Raul, Neto
Same here so much better in that positionIf Donk stays , I would use him as a defender.
Same here so much better in that position
Based on the current squad I’d choose
Sa
Dendoncker Coady Kilman
Jonny Neves Moutinho RAN
Neto Adama Podence
Gung-ho style to win
Raul isn’t the same he shows glimpses of what he’s capable of however the last few games of the season show how much he dropped off to be honest. I’d rather start Fabio. Adama will probably leave but I’d try something differentLike your thinking but I still have faith that our best striker ( Jimenez) will rediscover his form/ confidence, also this has to be the season when Fabio is seriously challenging him for a starting place.
As it stands:
Sa
Dendoncker, Coady, Kilman
Semedo (Jonny), Neves, Moutinho, RAN
Traore, Raul, Neto
Smiffy - I actually like your line-up, I would prefer to watch this team than a defensive set-up with Coady at the back.4 at the back for me and go for it . Sick of this boring possession based ****e . Just attack with the attitude you might score 3 but we will score 4 . we will lose games but come one we want to be entertained don't we . Everyone said Pullis stoke boring etc we are not far off that level of boredom IMO.
Anyone says what about Coady . Well the transfer window has 5 weeks left doesn't it . Think he has been a great servant to the club but we must move forward unless we start signing players to play in a back 3 with him .

Jonny Toti Killman Ran
Neves Mouts

Not a bad line up Tring.As it stands:

Dendoncker, Coady, Kilman
