No such thing as 4-5-1 anymore. Every team staggers a 5 man midfield so it’s either a 4-1-4-1 like Man City or a 4-2-3-1 which is very popular nowadays. As long as midfielders are given freedom to go forward then we’ll score goals with this formation...just like other teams can score with these formations.
Agreed. Too often last year you saw Lerma scrambling about trying to make up for his central midfield teammates.Yep. The signing of another 'engine room' midfielder would give us loads of tactical flexibility. Loads of ways we could mix and match 4-5-1, 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 type systems, with our positionally flexible players like King, L.Cook, Brooks, Fraser able to play between the lines or in central or wide areas. It would also give us less reliance on L.Cook coming back fit and firing immediately, Less reliance on Gosling and Surman, as useful as both can be on their day. And less reliance on Lerma walking a suspension tight-rope as our only physical midfielder. And when paired up those two provide more cover for the defence.
So many up-sides to this. Let's hope it comes off.
Apparently his price is 14 m, we don't want to pay that for him.According to the transfer show, we’ve had a bid rejected for Billing, no mention as to how much
How much mate?I understand the Billing deal is close to being completed.
How do you know more than the rest of us? Anyone can say that since it’s common knowledge we want him!I understand the Billing deal is close to being completed.
