The Shackles Are Off!
Arsenal have been experimenting with that formation since 2005....Did you go to the Osvaldo Ardiles school of management. He tried the "7 attackers" at Spurs without much success

Just doing a Borja Baston.
Ings for Davies not improving quality?You say the quality. Yet we haven't seen most of them in action yet properly or even together. Think we need to stop watching you tube, going by reports of others and see ourselves before judging quality.
I think if we make the signings we have in the last few days before the window, ahem, finishes, then this is a totally different conversation. I think it's obvious the club are looking at now bringing in very specific targets should they be possible but being okay waiting if they're not. If Ward-Prowse and Smith-Rowe lands differently then we've spent an additional £70-80m without the owners batting an eyelid.
I haven't seen Bailey yet but Buendia I'm already thinking "where is he playing", is he another one of those players you have to build your team around to be effective or play like Norwich.
He's not a striker he's certainly not a winger WTF is he. He was one of two no8's at Norwich, we play with a front 3 or one depending on how you look at it.
Could be another Ross Mac , but one that can open his own gates. By that I mean nobody could fit him into their team.
which brings me to how do you fit in Ings and Watkins together.
It seems a mish mash of players, rather than a plan
As long as we get decent money for them i'd lose no sleep selling any of them and reinvesting. They will all be off like a shot given the chance so i have no affinity with any of themI'd be very surprised if we are in a dogfight this season. I'd also have no problem with us consolidating for this year, ending up between 9th -14th. My only problem with this outcome is next transfer window. When Emi1, Ollie, Konsa etc all get offers from Sky 6 clubs, we will have no leverage. A finish equal or lower than last season puts us in massive danger of losing this season's top dogs. Especially as they had no affinity to the club to begin with.

i'd value them all at over £50m at the moment, Watkins maybe higher circa £65mSooner we all accept that the better, sell for more than we purchase and recruit wisely and I'll have no qualms.
It'll hurt, but it's got to happen if we're going to catch-up with the teams regularly getting the European money (unless they do an Arsenal and explode).Sooner we all accept that the better, sell for more than we purchase and recruit wisely and I'll have no qualms.
who is going to pay it is my argument we haven't got a player who makes the top 4 clubs and the rest can't pay 50m for a player. If we'd got players worth that much they all be starting for their countries every gamei'd value them all at over £50m at the moment, Watkins maybe higher circa £65m
Liverpool patiently waited for VVD, they didnt rush out to sign another world-class CB because he is the lad they wanted. His attributes were pivotal to them playing the way they do now.
Like Jack?who is going to pay it is may argument we haven't got a player who makes the top 4 clubs and the rest can't pay 50m for a player. If we'd got players worth that much they all be starting for their countries every game
He's left mate did nobody think to tell youLike Jack?
I don't think they will worship him at City , England perhaps now beaky has no option but to play him or look rather silly leaving a 100m player on the bench and playing the bloke he's keeping out of his club sideWe were in danger of becoming Aston Grealish as the hype wanted to create a god before he’d done enough to become one. I shall watch how he copes with being one to be workshipped for City and England - if he starts. At Aston Villa now everyone has to step up to the plate.
Let's put it this way if you gave Dean the choice of keeping JG and adding one of the 3 players he had brought in to replace him I'm sure he'd have kept JG and one other.
Haha! Just that you said if they were worth £50m they’d be starting for their countries every game. Jack didn’t start hardly any games for England yet we sold him for £100m.He's left mate did nobody think to tell you
I think the media worship him; after all he's good copy. Haven't heard much enthusiasm from C£ty fans.I don't think they will worship him at City , England perhaps now beaky has no option but to play him or look rather silly leaving a 100m player on the bench and playing the bloke he's keeping out of his club side
True but you are talking Beaky who just doesn't like him or trust himHaha! Just that you said if they were worth £50m they’d be starting for their countries every game. Jack didn’t start hardly any games for England yet we sold him for £100m.
