I watched him quite a bit at United. He was streets ahead of MGW

Have you seen Robertson run in the last 18 months? No, because neither has anyone. He was at one point the best LB in the league, but his legs have gone.You say some mental stuff
He's here to help the vibes, our Henderson

I think he is unattainable.
Plus would still leave us physically short.

Physically short? You mean in height?

Gheorge Popescu
Savio and Odobert are our Ndiaye-style tricky wingers. Kudus is also excellent in this regard., and Tel is coming on in leaps and bounds with beating his man.
We need height, strength and an eye for goal.

Fanny Walden
Indeed.
Bedfordspurs
Bert Smith
Think that is gonna happen anyway
Marmoush isn’t tall
Kroupi isn’t
For what we need a player like MGW is better than Gakpo IMO
Yiddo
Luka Modric
Yeah lets bring in another number 10.

Willem Korsten
I think we need to just trust De Zerbi over this, I don’t think any of us definitely know where and how he intends to use Savio or Marmoush at this point, and if Gakpo is a player who he has wanted all summer there is a plan and a role for him.
Gazza Dazzla
Paul Walsh
I think that plan would be to quite often play him as a 9. Theoretically we could have some serious ability in that front 4 with him as the CF as appose to Richy/Solanke.

Gakpo isn’t a CF
Bedfordspurs
Bert Smith
That’s what I’ve been saying
There are a LOT and assumptions as to how RDZ wants us us to play that imo we cannot be sure on
We haven’t seen much of a style or pattern so far to know enough imo
And relating everything back to his past may be what he wants now that he has control and money spent on him

How that continues to need saying is astonishing

Gheorge Popescu
I know you were being facetious but since we have several players capable of playing the 8/10 role in Tonali, Fernandes, Bergvall and Gallagher, why can’t we play a 4-3-3 using Bentancur as the dedicated #6 with two of the above either side?
No need to play a system designed around a #10 if we don’t have a fit one available.
Bedfordspurs
Bert Smith
Because he has played there once or twice I guess…
For me the money we’re spending has to be on better players than we have
Gakpo is a very good player
But I don’t think he is a better CF than what we have
Is he better on the left than what we have… yes for me
But I think there are better deals to be done and someone like MGW is just a better player for me

Fanny Walden
Do you think a deal for MGW is there? Then only remote way I see it is for Bergvall plus cash.
Yiddo.1882
Willem Korsten
I have been saying this all pre season, the squad is currently better suited to a 433, at least until Deki and Xavi are both fully back.
On Wednesday we played a 433 with Bentancur as the single pivot in possession and it changed to a fluid 442/4231 out of possession, Fernandes in the initial out of possession press phase was right up next to Solanke before dropping back ahead of Bentancur and Bergvall.
MartyFunkhouser
Vivian Woodward
With the business done I question we need him for the same reason.
For me it would be either a CF or MGW type as we cant rely on Madders and Xavi is the season away.
