Ronald Koeman

[serghei]

The "No Griezmann" lineup is a defensive nightmare.

It is. All are weak in terms of defensive players, but at least we have more fresh legs.

 

[malvolio]

I thought you want to keep Messi?

yes but make some sense of the situation. going by the rumors, koeman is not an idiot and will look for a new CF.

Probably a back-up one. Or else we'd be trying to sell Griezmann.

Even the first one... 2 low/no workrate players in front of FDJ and Alba...
Would rather not.

If we don't buy anyone now, our best lineup in 4-2-3-1 is:


-------------MATS-------------
Semedo-Pique--Lenglet-Alba
-------Pjanić-------FDJ-------
Dembele------Messi------Fati
-----------Griezmann---------

If we buy Lautaro, I would bench Griezmann and use him as a sub for both Lautaro and Messi. Also Pedri and Puig can play at CAM. At this point, we don't need Coutinho. We need high workrate players. Not Coutinho.

So, all in all, none of those two scenarios are great, but I would much rather buy Lautaro, than bring back Coutinho.

He can't view Coutinho as a LW, after what he said about playing players in their natural positions. So I guess he considers him a left midfielder on a 4-3-3??? or a 10 at the top of a Diamond.

 

[serghei]

The wide player in 4-2-3-1 is not really a LW, more like a left wide midfielder.

 

[Devils]

CB: Garcia
Midfielder: Wijnaldum
LB: Nouri or Estupi??n
RB: ????
Forward: Lautaro

 

[Messigician]

Got a bad feeling

 

[KingLeo10]

Wijnaldum would be welcome here. He's unbelievably clutch and that workrate is immense.

Yes, because you haven't taken your medicines this morning.

Yea. If you are to sign more mature players, that's the profile needed.

Yep, Coutinho was good for the first 6 months that he came to Barca when he was a LM in a 4231.

It was only as a LW in a 433 in the 18/19 season that he was not good.

Rolling into Barca offices this morning THUG life style.

Koemmander has arrived.



On a serious note him supposedly keeping Messi , Griezmann and Coutinho doesn't make sense. One of them has to go ( so either Griez or Coutinho)
