Man, talking about brave new ideas and strengthening the club, giving Poch the proper backing he needs then buying this guy for a crazy sum is going to be incredibly underwhelming.

Don’t go slashing your wrists just yet the Transfer season has just begun. Long way to go until 9th August 2018.

Not slashing my wrists at all just will be disappointed if we're talking about Martial and Pulisic and we end up with Sessegnon for just slightly less money.

If we were to sign him this summer, I'm curious as to what position we play him in given our interest in other attacking midfielders such as Martial.

Would Ryan play as a left AM or would we choose to play him as a LWB whilst playing three at the back.

Lloris
Toby-Sanchez-Jan
Trippier-Dier/Wanyama-Eriksen-Rose/Sess
Son/Alli-Sess/Martial
Kane

Would be pretty sweet. Sessegnon would get loads of games as second both LWB and LF.

It is make or break for Fulham today (same for villa too) they are operating above 100% of their turnover for wages etc and their parachute payments stop this year. They may be forced to sell if they don't win the play offs

I wouldn't mind playing eriksen next to the DM but i really can't see poch using him there. Plus we also have Moura and lamela too.

I want us to switch to a city system

they play

Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Mendy
Fernandinho
KDB Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

So ours would be

LLoris
Trippier Sanchez Vert Sessegnon
Dier
Eriksen Winks
Moura Kane Dele

So to cover our bases for this thread today:

If Fulham win then he was too expensive and we didn't really want him anyway.

If Villa win then he is clearly not a winner and we only need winners at his price so we don't want him anyway.

Can't do that with Trippier or Winks, as not dynamic enough, and in Trippier's case, he lacks the pace and thrust of Walker

I love Winksy but I was only assuming the sessegnon transfer here

I'm hoping with our signings we can also do 3-5-2

I want us to play a Pochettinho / Tottenham system.

With the right wingbacks and high intensity press in place it's a fantastic system to watch.

I thought the play off final was Monday for some reason - thanks for the reminder.

It's the most suited system to our current crop of players, with Eriksen and Alli as number 8s.

Dele at LW in a 4-3-3 lol.

Walker doesn't go up and down the wing for City as he did for us. That's why players like Delph and Zinchenko have been able to play well at LB for them. So Trippier would be fine in City's system.

That's the only difference i'd want from Guardiola's City. I'd like our full backs to be generally wider. Perhaps with Moura on the right we could get away with a narrower RB but in that case we'd definitely need width on the other side to stretch a game. This is where Sessegnon could really help us.

I think we should utilise Dier more smartly, using him to switch formations. We should have an attacking shape (the 4-3-3) and a defensive one to shut out games. That for me would be a 3-5-2 with 3 CMs and two strikers. Dier would be able to drop into the back three to make us difficult to break down.

Something like this:

Lloris
RB Sanchez Verts LB
Dier/DM
Eriksen ---- Alli
Moura---------------Son
Kane

Lloris
Sanchez Dier Verts
RB -------Winks/Wanyama------LB
Eriksen --------- Alli
Kane --- Son
