Starting to think Dybalas been leaked to cover other deals dragging and keep us keen.
What would be the point of that?

I completely agree with not moving him deeper, however it looks like it. Hope I’m wrong. Also pretty clear was probably the wrong phrase, I just feel that if we do sign Dybala (Big IF), Dele would be moved deeper, Dybala wouldn’t bench or play cm.I wouldn’t say that it’s clear at all. Last season we were down to minimal midfield numbers and had to play him there. Two pre season game doesn’t necessarily mean he’s going to be played deeper.
It would also be idiotic to play him there as his real threat is his goal scoring ability. He’s wasted when played deep.
Anyone on twitter claiming to be ‘ITK’, is not ‘ITK’.Is the twitter account epllion legit or utter WUM?
Comments on there that dybala is in advanced talks.
My first though was our plans have constantly been in flux due to decisions outside of our control.
First iteration was adding Lo Celso and Ceballos to replace Eriksen, but then Real not willing to allow Ceballos purchase option shifted things.
Then second iteration, the Eriksen / Real move appeared to cool and it looked like Eriksen was going to stay, so we’d end up with Lo Celso and Eriksen.
Now the third iteration, Dybala possibility has unexpectedly fallen in our laps, so now we have to rejig the plan, two from three out of Eriksen, Lo Celso and Dybala.
Slightly different options based on their skill sets and best positions. Eriksen and Lo Celso both seem capable of sitting in either bank of 3 in a proposed 433 formation, so add flexibility. Dybala more of an attacker, but arguably on another level?
Now the interesting bit, there was ITK yesterday that our deals have stalled due to shuffling the terms due to other options presented. Initially I thought that was the selling teams asking for change on terms due to their needs, but it may be us asking to juggle the terms to allow us to go after all three. It’s a bold leap, but given the timing of the new sponsorship deal also, plus the record profit season despite the new stadium, just maybe it’s an option.
DM/CM - Dier, Winks, Ndombele, Sissoko, Eriksen and Lo Celso, plus Skipp, and Alli & Lamela can slot in deeper.
AM/WF/CF - Lamela, Moura, Alli, Son, Kane and Dybala, with Eriksen and Lo Celso able to play AM also.
Quite fluid options.
I think this would have the opposite affect on fans. As when perfectly good signings such as Lo Celso and sessegnon are completed fans will be disappointed because they aren’t Dybala.Starting to think Dybalas been leaked to cover other deals dragging and keep us keen.
Fair enough. If we sign Lo Celso and Dybala, Alli could soon see himself dropped. He was bang average last season. Him and Dier seem to have this idea that they are irreplaceable, mainly because we have never had any competition for them.I completely agree with not moving him deeper, however it looks like it.

Possibly, but would be a PR disaster if the fax machine breaks on deadline day and we've made only one major signing. The fans will be even more frustrated after talk of Dybala. Risky move if we aren't prepared to back it up.Starting to think Dybalas been leaked to cover other deals dragging and keep us keen.

I love Dele, think it would only be good for him and Eriksen to have competition for their spots and someone to come in for them when they need rest. I don’t want to judge either on last season as I think both honestly had too much asked of them with no restFair enough. If we sign Lo Celso and Dybala, Alli could soon see himself dropped.

I just hate that major business is all up in the air this late in the window. Will be a lot more relaxed when Sessegnon and Lo Celso are confirmed.True.. I was very excited about Lo Celso coming in now if we just get him after Dybala it’s a bit merh when it shouldn’t be
Yeah, bit pointless really.What would be the point of that?

We dont know that yetDybala is a classic 'we tried but it was too hard' optimistic signing. Echo of glory and all that.

In previous years I'd certainly feel that was the case but it does seem that Juve approached us about him not the other way. So I don't feel like we can really jump on the club about this. You've got to grab these opportunities.Dybala is a classic 'we tried but it was too hard' optimistic signing. Echo of glory and all that.
