der Berliner 3,457 Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Pendikspor? Never heard of them ... probably because they have only been promoted this year. There sure is better in store for Wright, as well as safer and higher wages. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 14,258 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Getting Wright off the wage bill is a good thing, regardless of the fee. Good luck to him but we need better players. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,879 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 @der Berliner - I never stated we hadn't played a 4-2-3-1 under Beale (we definately did). I was only responding to your comment: "As for the set up ... what did MB [do] different to Gio et al? One striker up top remained the order of the day". We generally played a 4-3-3 under GvB, with wide wingers. Under MB we started with a 4-2-3-1, with narrower wide men, before changing to a 4-3-1-2 or 4-4-2 diamond. MB also went back to the Christmas tree played under Gerrard at times, too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 9,879 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Getting rid of some of the lesser squad players for transfer fees is good business. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSocksRedTops 3,536 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 If we can shift Wright and Kamara for anywhere near 5.5 million that is decent business. If you factor in Colaks transfer, that would be a net profit of over 6 million on those 3 players. It would also mean our net spend this summer would be close to zero (so far). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These pics look rather interesting, having Hagi up there as a left sided striker ... or in the middle behind Sakala and Matondo. Who created that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who created that? That one was more of a Christmas tree, iirc, with Hagi and Cantwell playing as two #10s, but we pressed with a front two. Matondo played there often just because he was the only one capable as playing as a pressing forward. I suspect if we had another capable forward Matondo would have been dropped.

Well, these line-ups look rather fanciful and not how I (and quite a few others) saw them play in these games. Well, perhaps they did, for the odd minute. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
