Isnāt Florian always wrong when it comes to us?
I think on this occasion there is little there that hasnāt already been reported.
Certainly, gut feeling alone would say his tweet is likely to be correct - we donāt know how big the shortlist is but it would be surprising if Camara and Scott are not on it. Of course, that doesnāt mean that they will be the signings we prioritise from within that list.
I like the looks of Camara, and he will be less expensive. That said, we may need some homegrown players, and Scott has worked with Iraola at Bournemouth. Letās see what happens.
Wirtz isnātā¦
Ok, itās not greatā¦!
Iām sure this will be taken the wrong way but Dom isnāt the right player for us in a midfield 3. RB is his best āstartingā position in this team wanting to win the PL and CL. Heās the kind of player, like Bruno at ManU, that looks good in flashes, scores some wonder goals and appears all action but doesnāt seem to have the tactical discipline to control midfield in a team at the top. His movement is reactive and his passing (like his shooting) is erratic. Macca was poor last season which masked his performances somewhat but if you were replacing Liverpool midfielders Dom is a strong candidate and the fee could help bring in a player more suited.
Im not sure it comes to replacing dominik just get.
Itās probably good for us to have two #10s. Horses for courses.
Dominik offers certain value in setpieces as well. Just seems certain both Wirtz and dominik cant play together unless we shoehorn dominik in arB.
Iām far from the stance that Szobo should be sold.
I didnāt think he was that good when he initially joined and I certainly donāt think heās that bad now, after certain amount of time, when most if not all fans get to fully know him as a player.
Weāll see how things evolve, but Iām almost certain that Iraola holds Szobo in the ānot for saleā category. Yes, I know, there could be an offer or price for which we might do it, but I think we very much count on him for the future.
Iām not sure we want to sell him after just locking him down to a new deal, but I do know he should not be simply walking back into a team that has generally looked a lot more solid without him in it.
See this is why we need the monkey facepalm emoji
If anything thatās the one thing Iraola needs sorting.
I like Dom, but I donāt see him disciplined enough in a double pivot.
Heās fixed the defence (largely) , heās fixed the attack. The midfield remains something that needs to be sorted.
I think thatās why weāre looking at Gilberto Mora. Donāt think Dom can play the 10 effectively.
I think itās a balance/profile issue. Trey helps with that, but heās still so young. Camara (or similar) would really help with the balance in midfield. Heās far from a perfect player, but he gives us something we donāt have. Iām not sure Scott offers something we donāt have. I can see him possibly replacing one of Macca, Dom, or Grav if they are sold, but not in addition to that trio.
Against some sides , dom can do that that.
One more pertinent thing is that h ruins whether Wirtz is trying to doā¦ Wirtz drops back to get the space and then dom bombs foreward.
Can we move this discussion elsewhere we have threads on our attack, midfield and defence.
I donāt believe Wirtz is going anywhere after his last few performances. And TIA can frame it all they want.
He bombs forward and clatters into Wirtz.
I would have Dom ahead of Wirtz everyday of the week.
In the #10?
In a midfield 3
