  • This is what i think it will be:

    Adrian
    Zabaleta, Fonte, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell
    Noble, Kouyate
    Antonio, Lanzini
    Ayew
  • Gotta assume someone will join.....surely.....right...... ;pray

    Adrian
    Zabaleta Reid Ogbonna Cresswell
    Kouyate Noble
    Antonio Ayew Lanzini
    Giroud

    Think Bilic deep down prefers 4-2-3-1 and he'll try it out this season as Zabaleta is a RB, not really got the legs as a RWB and untested (and small) for a RCB

    Gonna dream and say Giroud, even though I don't think he will join but have to stay optimistic right now and pray it comes off

    Do think we will have another couple signings but I don't think they will start

    I've just tweaked your title slightly, twist, to try to emphasise this. Let me know if you want me to change it in some other way.

    Zabaletta Reid Ogbonna Cresswell

    Adrian

    Zab Reid Fonte Ogbonna Masuaku

    Obiang Kouyate

    Antonio Lanzini

    This is what i think it will be:

    Adrian
    Zabaleta, Fonte, Reid, Ogbonna, Cresswell
    Noble, Kouyate
    Antonio, Lanzini
    Ayew

    Think that's a tad pessimistic mate. Gonna be more than one signing in the XI and I suspect Ayew might be sold this summer.
  • Why would Ayew be sold?
  • Playing Noble ahead of Obiang is a very pessimistic imo. ;biggrin
  • Why would Ayew be sold?

    Just get the feeling he's not 100% settled. Hope not though as think he has potential next season.

    But if we cashed in it would likely be the higher end of the cash spectrum.
  • Not sure we'd get more than we paid, though, and he started chipping in with a good few goals towards the end of the season, so I can't see what would convince the owners to sell.
  • Back in May Ayew's dad told Le Parisien....
    André may return to OM one day. He is a child of the club, trained in Marseilles. He has the love of the shirt, the fans know he is ready for anything for his club
    Well, what he actually said was....
    Il est possible qu'André revienne à l'OM un jour. C'est un enfant du club, formé à Marseille. Il a l'amour du maillot, les supporteurs savent qu'il est prêt à tout pour son club
    So not actually he'd be leaving for Marseille this season but that was how it was interpreted by Claret & Hugh, the Sun, the Mirror, etc.
  • Just had a quick look up on our 1st game against Chelsea last season we set up with

    Adrian
    Antonio - Reid - Collins - Masuaka
    Noble- Nordtveit - Kouyate
    Valencia - Carroll - Ayew (Tore)

    I'd be shocked if our first XI against Utd isn't better than this

    I'd also be a little surprised if we didn't go for either 3 centre backs or 3 centre midfielders

    Think Bilic prefers his 4-2-3-1 but not for a game like this
  • We played with three at the back for the last five games of the season and it was our most successful formation, W9 D4 L6 compared with W4 D5 L12 playing four at the back
  • The only problem with 3 at the back I don't see where Zabaleta fits into it as he hasn't really got the legs for a modern wingback or the stature of a centre back

    But I agree we definately looked better with 3 at the back past year

    - - - - - Adrian - - - - -
    - Fonte - Reid - Ogbonna -
    Zab - Obiang - Manu - Kouyate - Masuaka
    - - - Antonio - Gray - - - -

    With Manuel moving between a #8 and #10

    Is that possibly the best we can hope for?
  • its more then we will get ;biggrin
