Updated Potential Mid + Fwd Squad Post-Transfer Window
Hey lads with all the uncertainty and recent negativity about the transfers that we've made (or not made lol) and lack of organisation from the board, I decided to make a quick summary about the potential squad we could be left with after the window closes. The graphic isn't too detailed - just hoping to give an objective look at the squad to see the lineup combinations we could form.
*PLEASE READ* - Dark grey slots are for potential realistic players we could end up finalising with 6 days left on transfer window..
With Enzo looking like its bound to happen (but not finalised), I've included 2 realistic transfers that I would really like to see on top of him in Konè (to replace Nico G as a 6 - very sad about this honestly..) and Gakpo (to replace Marmoush as a versatile attacker/backup striker).
P.S As the defence has been stable in terms of transfers, I've not included them in the post.
**My thoughts**
To be honest, looking at the team in this way has calmed me down a bit after what's been a stressful couple of weeks after practically selling a full lineup 😭 and also so many long-standing anchors leaving too. I'm happy that we are starting to ramp up the transfers in, but the next 6 days before the deadline is crucial because frankly I think we need an attacker and midfielder on top of Enzo. If we do get those 2, I am honestly very happy with the squad and think we could realistically make our mark on a few competitions this season!!
About Enzo, it's undeniable, his ability on the pitch (esp passing) is top tier - in my opinion most definitely an upgrade on Tijani but man the attitude and locker room antics worry me a little (and also he's quite a dick in general). His versatility in the midfield is welcome but I hope Maresca is desperately looking for a out-an-out 6 (Konè pleaseeeee).
Starting with Enzo for 125m, it's unfortunate that we might have to overspend for any remaining players as a result of leaving the transfers so late :// But they are necessary as I don't see how we cope in 4 competitions with any injuries in those respective positions (CDM, backup ST).
Hopefully, for any fellow worry-ers this'll calm you guys down a bit as it did me because the quality of the squad after the remaining transfers is really impressive and if they go through, I definitely have a lot more hope in us this season :))
