Excuse me newbie?
Everything I stated is based on how this club has been run in the last 10 years.
Have you even been a fan that long?

Terrible pick up micro
Dude's like there's zerglings, better get the feck out with my medivacTerrible pick up micro
What’s the use building a nice conservatory, when the house is falling apart !All jokes aside, this would be a lovely signing to have to add some depth to the squad.
That is we are able to competently sign any other players
Devastating Mic Controller? I guess the team could use more vocal leaders.How are we gonna play both Bruno, Eriksen and De Jong in one team? We don't even have a DMC!

Yeah, but it's Tricky.To be fair the DMC should be able to Run
As the saying goes though... don't run before you can walk this way.To be fair the DMC should be able to Run
Either we play a diamond and play all three, or we play Eriksen roughly every third game to give Bruno/ De Jong competition and keep them fresh. Injuries will also happen throughout the season, plus we're in the EL, so they'd all get a lot of playing time.How are we gonna play both Bruno, Eriksen and De Jong in one team?

That's not really the issue. Eriksen is most likely competition/rotation option for Bruno's position.How are we gonna play both Bruno, Eriksen and De Jong in one team? We don't even have a DMC!
Not sure who you are expecting to defend out of those 3.He is such an intelligent player I can see him dropping deeper as he gets older like Scholes did. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was paired with FDJ and Bruno in a midfield three.
Completely agree.Not sure what everyone is arguing about in this thread.
We’ve spent so many years being shite that people have forgotten what a top quality squad should look like. We need competition for places for every position. Sure Bruno has been a productive player, but he’s had bouts of really bad form and some very bad games. It was painful to watch that we couldn’t take him off because we had only Mata on the bench who could maybe play a 10. Or Lingard who was so shite there was no point.
Eriksen is a class player and makes a lot of sense on a free. Great for squad rotation. Might even get the nod ahead of Bruno in a lot of games if ETH is looking to play more possession based football. Nobody should take their starting position for granted.
We continuously whine when we look at City’s squad and the quality in depth they have. Well let the new manager get on with his job.
Having one of Eriksen or Bruno starting on the bench (if we can’t accomodate them both in the lineup) is so much more comforting than having Lingard / Mata.
how does that diamond work out? Ronaldo on top and Frenkie at the bottom? Maguire would absolutely implode without cover.Either we play a diamond and play all three, or we play Eriksen roughly every third game to give Bruno/ De Jong competition and keep them fresh.

Hard times ahead.To be fair the DMC should be able to Run
The issue is, we have 2 attacking midfielders in the squad already. Bruno and VDB. They may play the role differently but they essentially occupy the same position in the team and it's one of the reasons VDB hasn't got a look in since he arrived. So we're adding a 3rd player for the same position in the team.Not sure what everyone is arguing about in this thread.

Playing Eriksen into Schone‘s role probablyA pair of what, is the question.
Not a chance that. Eriksen as the more advanced midfielder with De Jong being the deep playmaker makes sense. Bruno in that case is playing as a false 9 or more likely, out wide.Playing Eriksen into Schone‘s role probably
Would be such a change from the McFred combo having 2 ball players in there. But you do worry about who would win it.Playing Eriksen into Schone‘s role probably
Is that how we call the bench these days?Not a chance that. Eriksen as the more advanced midfielder with De Jong being the deep playmaker makes sense. Bruno in that case is playing as a false 9 or more likely, out wide.
Balls of the teamA pair of what, is the question.
Not saying that it's gonna happen, but Schöne used to be an advanced midfielder before Ten Hag partnered him with De Jong in the defensive midfield.Not a chance that. Eriksen as the more advanced midfielder with De Jong being the deep playmaker makes sense. Bruno in that case is playing as a false 9 or more likely, out wide.
Schone used to be advanced midfielder or winger. He wasn’t even a DM.Not a chance that. Eriksen as the more advanced midfielder with De Jong being the deep playmaker makes sense. Bruno in that case is playing as a false 9 or more likely, out wide.
Eriksen isn't benching Bruno mate. Not a prayer. If we get him it will be to provide cover for a few positions. Probably why it's taking so long as he knows he gets more guaranteed minutes at Brentford.Not a chance that. Eriksen as the more advanced midfielder with De Jong being the deep playmaker makes sense.

You say this with absolutely no idea what Ten Hag is thinking.Eriksen isn't benching Bruno mate. Not a prayer. If we get him it will be to provide cover for a few positions. Probably why it's taking so long as he knows he gets more guaranteed minutes at Brentford.
Bruno was given a brand new contract during our talks with Ten Hag. He's a very good player but sadly fans on here can only remember recent form. Form comes and goes.You say this with absolutely no idea what Ten Hag is thinking.
Maybe he's noticed Bruno gives so much ball away and contributes to us being wide open and even the crappest team leathering through our midfield?
He might want players who keep ball more in there, and put Bruno out wide.
Bearing in mind we're not exactly red hot out wide. Rashy in a mid career slump, Greenwood done, Sancho with a difficult first season.
Could easily be Bruno and Sancho out wide, with Eriksen, DJ and one other in the centre.
Though I'm not certain we'll get either, so don't like to mention players before we sign them!
I'm a bit nervous about his signing, as I never thought he was "that" good at Spurs.Bruno was given a brand new contract during our talks with Ten Hag. He's a very good player but sadly fans on here can only remember recent form. Form comes and goes.
Eriksen has never been as good as Bruno was for 18 months. Conte didn't even pick him in Italy very often.
Bruno could also play false 9 - he almost plays there anyway, rather than as a traditional no.10You say this with absolutely no idea what Ten Hag is thinking.

Gives you some where nice to read, maybe enjoy the rain beating on the conservatory roof, and forget about your problems.What’s the use building a nice conservatory, when the house is falling apart !
Is that true?A diamond maybe? We know Ronaldo told Rangnick he doesn't like playing as the lone striker so maybe we could go for a two striker system
Sancho Ronaldo
Bruno
Fred Eriksen
De Jong
Shaw CB Varane RB
DDG
The thing is, I'm not picking on this specifically but there's no width here at all. And it's due to the quality of our full backs. If we had quality like City's, Liverpool's or City's this could work. But it's the reason why I think prioritising full-backs as much as any position is essential.A diamond maybe?

But can the DMC do that at 88MPH?To be fair the DMC should be able to Run
