The "DM" thread

I still would have liked us to have kept Paulinio for another season.

Strange decision all round, think he would have been happy to be in a rotational role, ended up going for something like 14M.

I thought it was ok when the plan was Gray as backup at 6 (even then, wasn't sure of the using Gray to close out a game), but with hindsight of we obviously knew Spence was going and Gray's playing time will be RB, think it's a miss.

RDZ would have preferred to have Tonali, Fernandez, Palhinha and Bentancur as his main 4 in my opinion. I think he'd swap Sarr and Bergval for Palhinha in a heartbeat. RDZ would then make his 5th CM Gray knowing Archie has RB coverage as well.

What we need to now happen is for Archie to show is runway as a CM. He is still the unknown quantity to me as we don't know how far he can go in the game. Obviously, in a good way.

Yep, for me he was my player of the season last year and apart from trying to put fires out in our CB managed to score a few goals as well
