So in essence Fornals is aimed to replace Noble in games at home or where we expect to dominate, the CM with the balanced attacking/defending responsibility leaving Rice as the DM and presumably Lanzini as the more attacking. Obviously where we might need more bite then Noble/Wilshere come in for Lanzini and Fornals is pushed slightly further forward. We still have Sanchez and Snodgrass as further back up as well.

In that instance other than as cover for Rice (in particular) I cannot see the need for too many more midfielders save to replace leavers other than Obiang (who in essence Fornals is replacing).

So really now it is the pursuit of a couple of strikers (one if Hernandez stays) and a CH (especially if Ogbonna leaves/Rice does not fully recover).

Gsbgsb - that's most likely mate yes, and it's also why we perhaps could do with another centre mid ideally if/when Obiang goes.

In thing #Kabak a decision is imminent. In all likelihood, the Turk will no longer travel to the # VfB (Stuttgart) training camp in Kitzbühel.

As usual pick bits of my post to suit yourself - I have always claimed he is a number Ten or attacking MF who has played wide on occasion and is direct competition for Lanzini - he will not be playing a defensive or deeplying MF role,imo.
We have been sniffing around Jordan,Sanson,Arranguiz,et al - they will be sitting beside Rice and competing with Noble,Obiang and Wilshere.

Have ashbanki and patito made out yet?

Could cut the sexual tension in their posts with a knife.

I'd rather we went for Kabak's distant cousin, Fulbak.

That's just as good as watching the player in actual matches. Can you not see the irony in your above post at all? Image

You have literally trolled that ashbanki for 4 pages.

It is a no for me. I have seen too many prodigal returns and they never go the way you expect. It tarnished the good memories.

Exec - no I haven’t, I’ve watched him play for two seasons straight. Again the below isn’t disproving anything I’ve said, I’ve said he’s played centrally the whole time whereas ashbanki reckons he’ll be part of the front 3!

f*** me it shouldn’t be too difficult to understand!

August is going to be funny when he’s not out on the wing or up front, he’s in the middle alongside Rice and either Noble/Wilshere/Lanzini.

Sorry if i've missed some posts in between the fornal edition of love island on here, but does anyone know why the club is suddenly posting so many videos of payet? Testing the waters to see if people would welcome him back or is that giving our media department far too much credit?

Think it’s four years ago today that we signed him.

Pezza hinted that we are looking at resigning him.

On the main page there is a thread about it too.

I saw that bit wasnt sure why the official pages were showing his videos so much. Hoped it might confirm pezza and the othee thread but looks like it might just be to do with the date he first signed

Ashbanki, Exec and Mega Ron for starters.

This reminds me of last summer when people were trying to tell me Anderson was a second striker...

Pat,

Were you around when Diamanti was a West Ham player?
