These players are not 5, 10 or 20 times better than ours but their values are I very much agree that many of the prices for these players and many in the top leagues are nuts. Arsenal do have more quality than we do in the overall squad. Kaydubya11 and Bluekev 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A £2m player is not twice as good as a £1m player. They will be say 10% better. A £4m player will be say 10% better than a £2m player. An £8m player will be 10% better than a £4m player. etc. The more that little bit of quality that you want, the more exponential the price you have to pay to get it. When everyone is limited to playing 11 players vs 11, the more the demand for that extra bit of quality, and the more the price goes up.

I'd keep Bassey too but I don't think he's adequate cover at full back.......thats an area I feel we might suffer when Borna is out.

Misteral 2,930 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 A result that flatters us as Arsenal were pretty good most of the time. Blackpool should be fun for travelling Bears. Bluekev 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,287 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 People always refer friendlies to fitness but finding the right chemistry when integrating new players into a system is equally important to getting off to a fast start. Not having Morelos, Helander, Barisic, Sakala, Kent or Aribo half way through pre season is not ideal. We look a little combobulated without them. Play the best team possible against Blackpool & Real Madrid and fringe players against Brighton. Leftpegcoopz11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,585 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Is this last page a reflection of how the thread went during the match? I thought we played pretty well in spells and was generally happy with what I was seeing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Gerrard talked post match about finding a way to play both Patterson and Tav. For me Tav is not a midfielder and never will be. In a situation where others are injured or suspended I would not be unhappy if he played as one of the front three. Whips in mean balls and has an eye for goal. For me we have to stick with Borna and Tav with Patterson and Bassey as more than decent back ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Patterson is too good to warm the bench, Id take the money for Tav, if a good bid comes in, and play Patterson. 16BlueSherbert90, GeeSS, Flatcap and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Shaw 30,130 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Was impressed with Bassey, I think with a run in the team this boy could be an outstanding player for us. He’s in a similar position to Paterson though in that we already have a quality player in his position. Game reminded me a bit of our Europa league games against some of the better teams when we’ve looked dodgy at the back and conceded goals but still managed to do enough going forward to create our own chances and score goals. Think we just need to accept that we will concede goals at this level. Not the best 90 minutes performance but played decent in spells could/should have went 3-1 up, also could have been 3 down 🤣 Thought Middleton done ok going forward. Boy Kelly looks decent. Lundstram looks a good signing. Was a decent run out and test for our players canny wait to see us at full strength though.
