All Falcao, All The Time! - The Transfers and Rumors Thread

Reus definitely plays wing. Best german winger available. Im starting to think some users here only watch epl and madrid play.

 

i only watch el clasicos

 

I don't even watch those, I just read the summaries of the games on goal.com. I'm a very busy person.

 

So like Walcott then?

And yes,I'm the type that only watches Madrid and EPL teams nowadays. For real.

 

He is definitely a winger with a scoring touch but lets not make it out like he can't make an assist to save his life. I'd say he is a much better playmaker then both Ronaldo and Di Maria. Both for different reasons.

Ronaldo obviously has the tools to provide the assists from the left side but he's too selfish and goal hungry to do that. As for Di Maria, he has no right foot so it's always obvious to defenders where he's going. Reus is less selfish then Ronaldo, is two footed, great pace, great football brain, and the biggest upside is he'll gel with Ozil immediately.

He's played 31 games in 2012/2013 for club and country, 15 goals / 9 assists playing as a striker or a winger. He can be an inverted winger or the classic one. He seems to be on a fast track to being the best German player so I hope we get him while he's relatively "cheap".

 

Di Maria and his left foot would be more than enough if he would have some brain.

Bah just ship Kaka to MLS, buy some replacement and that`s it. Also Mou can ******** off. As for summer it all depends on Cristiano, i say let him go for proper money if he wants to go. With this transfer we can buy another winger, striker ( if Benzema and Higuain cant cut it ) and bring back Carjaval.

Also Jese should be getting some proper time to play in first team. Just sayin...

Do it Perez.

 

For a 4-4-2 system, I would say that you don't need to look any further than Valencia from United, he is very comfortable on the right side of midfield, and we would be more than open to converting the midfield into a diamond formation with Mesut stepping further into attack, with Di Maria (left) and Valencia (right) having the energy and pace to charge on the flanks as well as helping out at the back.

Not the sort of position that Reus would be best utilised in (the right side of a 4-4-2 is hardly the same as the right side of a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3), as for Walcott, I would rather have another Arsenal player there; Oxlade-Chamberlain.

 

4-4-2 is played out....and we can't buy Valencia, especially not if Ronaldo leaves, because we all laughed when Man Utd signed him as their replacement for the Portuguese

 

I can't believe people are taking this 4-4-2 formation seriously.


How about no?

 

Uh-oh, we opened the door to the tactical flexibility discussion with Alma Merengue

4-4-2 is whack juice though....

 

Cant play two strikers if we only have two and Morata. One gets injured/out of form and we're ********ed. Also can't play two as well as a creative midielder, if we're also using Ronaldo.I'd rather see Ozil behind a striker.

Ruud was phenomenal. I miss him regularly.

 

I don't get it. Why do we need a different striker again? Last time I checked the problem was our midfield and wingers, not our strikers.

 

+100%

 

Ronaldo can also play as a striker. But then what do we do with DiMaria and Callejon and that's all our wingers?

 

Yes, because Ozil is our whole midfield.

I was talking about Xabi, Khedira, Essien all being in very poor form (not to mention Di Maria). And yes Ronaldo who is the face of this team and is playing crap the last 10 games. If our best player plays like he does, no wonder we're behind 16 point. Don't get me wrong, he's not the sole reason why we're looking so out of it, but last year he was the one who was pulling the cart and this year he just looks like he's given up.

 

It's quite obvious that with the players which we have there is little to no chance of us moving to a 4-1-2-1-2 / 4-4-2 formation, and I personally wouldn't want this anyway...just offering some thought on the topic.

However there is no doubt that it can be painful to watch a team with two inverted wingers trying to get through a defence when you have someone like Gonzalo Higuain in the centre.

 

Or unless Benz or Pipita (more likely of the two, unfortunately) gets shipped off...
