Based on where we are currently in establishing ourselves into this division, I would rather target players from the relegated teams: Fleming, Burnley and Hugo Bueno and Mane from Wolves.

Think you’re getting proven quality at sensible prices although sadly we may not have funds for all three.



It’s always exciting to buy an unknown rough diamond but for this season this would be my personal preference.

I'd take one right now, class.

It may be that we still need to sell players before buying? Ie, Joseph and Gruev, for example.
I'm questioning whether the club can spend 30/40 Mil right now.
Who actually knows? We can only guess.

Zero chance we sell Joseph. He's not recovering from his ACL fully for a few months yet. I believe Gruev has a short-term injury too. It seems that Farke doesn't love traditional wingers; he prefers a wide playmaker and allows the wing-backs to provide the width. I feel like that's why he's completely ostracised Ramazani, and clearly doesn't trust Gnonto.



The only traditional winger he seems to trust fully is James, unless you count Okafor as a traditional winger. I think Farke prefers one winger and one wide playmaker for each flank, basically, rather than two wingers.

Prefer a rough diamond ? to no one at all.

And, tell yer what, class looks like. Hull about to be on 6 points after 2 games. What's going on?

With five at the back, it's three midfielders plus two attackers (Okafor/DCL) , or two midfielders plus three attackers (Wilson/Aaronson/DCL) . The former, which worked so well last year, is clearly stronger, but needs Okafor available. He spent most of his career as a successful striker before Milan converted him to a winger, and now effectively plays as a second striker drifting left, freeing the right for the extreme pace of Rodon, James, etc.

The second formation is a switch up that works because Aaronson helps a 2 man mf.
