AlbanyNYToffee Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Still want to see difference makers come in at winger and left back. Get Schneiderlin and Klaassen out. 15m each? Loan out Sandro to another PL, Champ or German club. Won't learn how to compete in Spain, France, Italy - sell him to those leagues if that's where he wants to go.

nyblue23 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Realistically, once Coleman and Baines are healthy, what are we looking at as our best XI (with subs) after the window? Mine would be: Pickford Coleman Holgate Williams Baines Rooney Gana Walcott Sigurdsson Vlasic Tosun Subs: Davies, Lookman, Keane, Kenny, McCarthy, DCL, Robles That notably leaves Sandro, Klaassen, Schneiderlin, Jags, Lennon, Bolasie, Niasse, Besic, Baningime, and Funes Mori not even on the bench (Martina is not notable). With everyone healthy, the squad will be far too big for just the PL. This leads me to think that we will definitely need to do more business this window, and that we desperately need to loan several of those younger players away to lower-tier PL clubs (or competitive Championship sides). My preferences would be Lookman, Baningime, and Sandro. We also need to trim some fat. Jags really does seem past it, and with 4 other CB ahead of him, I think he needs to be moved on or take a coaching job (preferred). I no longer rate Schneiderlin due to his inconsistency, and think we could move him on for close to what we paid still. If we loan out Lookman and Sandro, I think Bolasie can serve as a valuable backup. Lennon should move on, as should Niasse and Stek. Any cover for injuries after that can be taken care of by youth (though I'm not sure this is possible since most are out on loan already, but whatever, we're shit anyway and square pegs in round holes). This is not to say that the starting XI above is good enough to break the top 6, but I no longer think that's possible this season, and we'll need to do much better business this summer than last to have a chance at a decent 2018-19 season.

He's been very poor since returning and I'm not sure he showed enough before his injury. I think we've seen his ceiling and it's not good enough. Lookman and Vlasic are young, and given our current position, I'd rather see them get a chance. That said, I'd prefer a loan move for Lookman and that would obviously open up a spot for Bolasie. I'd be a bit disappointed if he was still one of our best options next season. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing wrong with your team is the back four, Coleman won't be the same player when he comes back, and will have a hard job removing Kenny. Keane will get in before Williams, and we might have to buy a RB to replacece Baines, other than that I like the rest. It's all about opinions and I've given you mine. ^_^ nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he showed signs of settling before his injury and people seem to have wrote him off after featuring in like 3 games this season despite spending a year out of action. I respect peoples opinion, but I see it as very harsh, give the lad the rest of the season and see where he is at then. In my view, He is far better than Lookman and Vlasic who people on here seem to massively over rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great dribbling skills, direct, pacey, questionable end product. Sure he's older, more experienced and physically stronger, but I don't see any reason why Lookman cannot be just as good if not better. One thing Lookman has got that has always been missing from Bolasie's game is goals Matt and nyblue23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
