He's in my Seria A fantasy team, got the assist in first match after coming off the bench, surprised he didn't start the game, could be the reason why he's leaving.

Probably not enough for it’s own thread (yet), but this account (second tweet) is very good for Ukrainian players. Would be an excellent signing.




Sorry I didn't even see someone else had posted about it otherwise I would have just quoted your post in my thread

The point is that Conte won't ever play a back 4, so there's no point theorising it.
I was responding to your point theorising about Mason taking over and what formation he'd play, which there's even less point to.

Anyway, back to Conte's preferred formation. We can all see he starts with 3 CBs, but what formation did he play between hooking Sessegnon and putting Perisic on?

And back to my main point because this is the SMS thread. We don't pay for him IMHO because, unlike Maddison, he doesn't provide an option to play wide- only central. We'll be back in for Maddison because of his versatility before the end of the window.

For me SMS comes in as a starter whereas Maddison more as an option.

And if we're going to pay big money I'd rather it was for a starter.

But, on the other hand, I don't have a big issue with our central options at the moment but we do need a wide option to come in as first choice so Maddison's versatility (as he could play as an AM) would add more value to the squad.

So the simple answer would be to buy both.

Has anyone got FB/AC's email address so I can email them this, and possibly talk tactics too? ?

Watching some of his highlight reels (which is the extent of my knowledge) he does look like he could fill a. Under of roles for us. Most interesting could be the Kane type floating forward, he has the size and presence, uses it well to win/shield the ball, also to attack the ball in the box, hold the ball, and pick a pass, but also ghosts into some great positions and is a very good passer and finisher.
No doubt it’s be a significant outlay, but we’d be getting a serious player capable of unlocking defences.

I honestly have no idea why they need him. They really need a solid DM yet keep targeting creative players. It’s hilarious.
It is reminding me of Levy and his wheelbarrow of cash around Europe during the Aguero bid. Just dragged out over a month rather than a few days

Honestly….they need players with heart and grit up and down that lineup and in their position, they should probably snap up anyone with such qualities that they can lure into that talent death trap.
