Not bad, but in what world are we better served with Madueke than Conor?
Presumably Mudryk is having the time of his life in Strasbourg?
Onana I could definitely get behind. And Olise. Yes please. If we're adding a CB then I'd record scratch that and just keep Trev. Save a few bob.
Maatsen isn't coming back so spend the money on a LB - Doughty looks alright. Ait-Nouri maybe.
Striker? Gods knows. I'm too scarred to have any confidence in any of them TBH. Toney will do but doing business with Brentford furrows my brow. I'm tempted to let Arsenal waste their summer doing that. Osimhen? Big gamble. Looks a player, but will be in the PL? Morata looked a player, still does sometimes.
that midfield of Caicedo - Enzo and Nkunku as no 10 will get ripped apart defensively.
Put it simply we would not have got the point against City had Gallagher been not there. You need profiles like Gallagher, Onana, Rice. We made a mistake by not going for either Rice or Onana.
think then it can be Palmer / Olise on the right... both work hard though Palmer does get dispossessed a bit easily. On the left you cant have Mudryk or Sterling then. Sterling does not work hard enough and Mudryk is forever lost. So roll with Jackson plus someone as a back up.
Except how do we break the cycle of loan outs and buying expensive “finished” articles so called and cutting off the route into the team for academy players which ends up with us saying why did we sell Salah, debruyne et cetera.

You all made the decisions mate. Madueke and Conor are incomparable to me, positionally for starters.
Well, I understand the concept! Just seems a weird outcome.
Obvs they aren't positionally the same but one is putting in standout performances and one... Isn't.
So a comment on how that has translated into the wisdom of crowds, seems like different standards were collectively applied to different players.
Completely agree

Nkunku is a 2nd striker in my system, the wingers would be hard working and go both ways

I believe we need a starting left forward/winger, it is Palmer in my system
Hi Luke
Yes your right some surprising omissions, Gilchrist for one, Gallagher for another and we’ve ended very light in midfield and attack.
As for fofana starting I think it will be a long time before he starts so Colwill Disasi would be starter under current form
Can we run this again at season close please?
Gilchrist was chosen to be loaned out

Agree. Think these polls were done at a really indifferent time for the team and the results might look intriguing at the end of the season
Not sure of the appeal of Onana when he's a bench warmer for Everton?
Onana is excellent technically and physically and the right profile for the type of squad player we need in that position
