Clearly we need a rebuild and the rebuild must be built on young players. Given his position and age, and that his game needs energy, he’s not going to be part of that when these players come of age. We should absolutely sell whilst we can.

Mental. Surely it obvious that we have had zero control in the middle, this guy is almost entirely absent

I really don’t like the balance of our team. I’d play Bruno on the right and bring in another CM. We keep getting overrun in the middle and concede way too many chances, its become a big problem.

Called it:drool:

I just had a quick look through our results this season and I think I’m right in saying we have not won a game in which he has started. Ominia or whatever they are called doesn’t count! We should be trying to get rid to America in January and try to loan or buy someone else for cover - at least...

I don’t think it’s ideal for him to sit on the bench and start stinking up the place with his oversized (and arguably justified) ego. We can have no place for anyone who isn’t prepared to run through walls for the club. Players not onboard with the philosophy can have such a bad effect as we...

Name me a championship winning team that didn’t have a top class defensive midfielder? It’s a position that desperately needs filling irrespective of setup if we ever want to get back.

The great Barca team had xavi, iniesta and busquets. We would need to find out busquets, which is no mean feat, but in principle you could have erikson and de jong in the middle absolutely. I think they would absolutely boss it too!

he can defo play deeper and in a possession team he would be in his element.Some of the greats went from cam to cm/ dm and he has all the ability to do it too. That’s my thinking with this Signing and I’m all for it. This is a replacement to mctominey not Bruno!

Could he not play in the Scholes role? The Scholes mk2 that is after he evolved his game into a dm deep lying type role. I don’t see why not. Passing, vision and reading of the game look top

Kondogbia looks like an absolute beast. He’d be amazing for us in the dm role.

I'm probably going to get pillaged for saying so but I think his legs have gone. For me, he doesn't move as freely especially over 5-10 yards and cant quite adjust himself. I do still think he will score goals for us as he is such an intelligent player - a once in generation player even, but...

so exactly what I said then?! Need to play 3 in the middle

Need to play 3 in the middle. Nothing will change performance wise as Fred and mctominey do not allow us to get up the pitch.

ashley youngs best moment for me. Fond memories of that one.
