    The Centre Forward thread

    I've had a suspicion we'll go for Mateta for a while...especially Gakpo does not happen. I cannot remember how Mateta is defensively, but I think being able to field a 6ft 4" CF against the likes of Arsenal and other bigger, more physical teams would be a massive advantage in how the league...

    Transfer thread

    I don't think that would happen in any situation TBH. We are too far down the line of needing him in now. If such a thing was on the cards (and it isn't IMO) then we'd simply have to hold our hands up (or pull our pants up!)...

    The "DM" thread

    I think this is very astute. I noticed during his post-match on Saturday, he mentioned Bergvall in context of a wider project (not verbatim but hinted - for the first time I have to say - that not every single move he makes is all him, that is it club-based even though he is doubtless getting...

    With all the requisite concern for welfare that comes with it!

    Artificial intelligence

    I confidently predict that within the US, there will be (in the next 5 years) a special low-cost 'self-health' insurance plan. for, say, $150 a month, you will be able to perform simple maintenance care plus conduct small 'home procedures' such as wound care/stitches and so on via Ai guide...

    A very fair point!!! It begs a deeper question as to whether Sonny would've been able to develop into, err, Sonny in this specific era?

    Omar Marmoush

    There are some weird things going on at City. Now they're allowing Gakpo's name to be attached to them. I think they're in a bit of a mess TBH and can't figure out what to do. I think Marmoush is done personally (just my guess) and can absolutely see a late loan deal for Mateta incoming (Palace...

    This is an important area for him to improve in for sure. He does not lack the desire or effort to contribute, just the specific skillset. I believe it is coachable.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think that is also a distinct possibility, agreed. I remain really surprised we didn't resign Palinha for another season. He would've started that game, agreed! And yes, I think that's right re: Bentancur. I chose to answer points where I didn't just agree with you, except for this last...

    The saddest element of this for me (and I generally agree with you BTW) is that of all the make-shift 10s we might operate, Sarr is the most effective (given that he is not a 10), however he is clearly being moved on. A shame IMO, but these are the moments where we must back the manager I...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I am not sure anyone has let it happen TBH mate. Mitigation for Sat would certainly have to include no Porro, no VDV, no Kudus. I think that's fair. RDZ didn't seem to feel Fernandes was ready for a full 90, and it is clear he makes a huge difference. The front three are absolutely not the...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    It's not about being 'right' it's about where we are (mate LOL)...I think part of the issue has been the realisation that as a club we absolutely do not rehab our players properly (or have not until now). I suspect this summer has seen a large shift in that approach. Which is why we started the...

    Lucas Bergvall

    I felt both of those were factors. I think he'll leave if we get good money for him. He is going to be a fine player for sure.

    Cody Gakpo

    I absolutely hope that we go in hard for Gakpo still...we need a big physical player upfront, so either him or throw the dice on go for Mateta. Otherwise we are going to suffer at set-pieces big time (people forget how great Romero was in the air and in the box - either one!)... Regarding...

    Lucas Bergvall

    I feel that maybe we're at that stage where he needs a fresh start and a new adventure at a club where he can be him? Yesterday he looked unenthused, and I could not figure out if it is because he was being asked to play a role he didn't feel comfortable playing, or if his heart is not with us...
