Perpetual Managers Rumours Thread

[NimAraya]

Switching to 4-3-3 doesn't need an overhaul. We mostly need wingers and backups for CB and MF in the summer. If necessary, we can even switch to 4-3-1-2 right about now. Skirniar and Bastoni as CBs, Dumfries (Bellanouva-Darmian) as RBs, Gosens (Dimarco-Darmian) as LBs, Midfield the same as it is, with Mkhi, Correa or Hakan behind the 2 strikers. But if we switch back to the lone striker next season, Lautaro can take that spot with Thuram and Satriano as his backups. Maybe even Correa if we fail to get rid of him.

Surely you mean Correa preferably on the bench planning BBQ recipes?

But yeah, maybe a more physical midfielder, a few quicker players in the right positions, and you'd be able to go to another formation pretty easily. Can also stick to attempting to play good football and press high with these players.

The bottom line (because I said so) from a technical point of view is that it seems like we currently have a squad that has players taped together to fit how Inzaghi wants to play. There isn't a Perisic who can stick the pieces together and fill the holes with individual quality.

Correa has no position in 4-3-3. That's why Lazio sold him when they hired Sarri. He can only play in a two forward formation as SS.

I think he can play outwide, he is quick and can dribble

Is he? Can he? I've seen sweet fuck all to suggest that.

 

[TheNetworkZ]

We couldn't play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Solid wingers are the most expensive players by position I'm pretty sure. Even the shitters go for 20m+

He can play very outwide which is at the bench where he will not disrupt our attack

I am pretty certain quality forwards are more expensive and also harder to find but let's say for the sake of the argument you're right. You don't need to have 4 solid wingers. Look at Milan for example. They have a great one in Leao but rest are players like Rebic, Salami guy and Messias.

But i agree it would be easier to move from 3-5-2 to diamond than a system with wingers.

Either way we're going to have a squad overhaul in the summer no matter how we choose to play when we have so many expiring contracts. The current group of players has reached its limit. They can't take you further. You need reinforcements.

 

[Universe]

Don't let the expiring contracts fool you, we're not going to go out and sign 15 new players to overhaul the squad. Most of these fucks will be renewed because it's obviously cheaper to extend players on lower wages than it is to go out and sign good replacements.

I expect Gagliardini, Handanovic, Dzeko, D'Ambrosio, Darmian, Acerbi, probably even De Vrij and Lukaku to all be here next season - one year older and having declined even further than they currently are.

I'm afraid of all the contracts that will be ending soon.

Ok, now I'm depressed

In France they claim Pochettino rejected Nice because he's waiting for Juventus or Inter.

 

[Nerazzurri_Ninja]

I wouldnt mind if we switched to 3412, 343, 433, 442, i truly hate 352

 

[Steevee]

Came here hoping one of you had spotted a gold plated solution to make it all better and found nothing but even more doom.

One can hope

 

[Il Drago]

They're so focused on Serie A and superiority of Italian coaches that i firmly believe if they decide to part ways with Inzaghi they will go for Ranieri because "he knows the league and they can't take risks".

 

[bubba zanetti]

2 seasons ago we buttfucked beelan, last season they were ahead of us. Last season we butfucked roma. This season they are ahead of us. Next season Fiore gonna be ahead of us. Time to sell fkn club!

I can't help but think you are absolutely spot on here.
