Summer '21 transfer lunacy and overpayment

[GP]

doesn't a no6 play centre back?

At Arsenal, number 10's play cente back.

Or whomever is captain at any point in time. One day our keeper will wear the fabled no 10

In real life, sure, but in tactics talk 6s, 8s and 10s are always your three CM types: holding, box-to-box or CAM.

Lokonga is probably a hybrid 6-8, which is all the rage these days! He says he’s better as a 6, but I reckon he’s being eyed as Partey’s immediate understudy and long-term replacement.

Understudy?

So we can look forward to Partey teaching him how to blaze it over the bar from 30 yards...?

So true!

We are building a squad of understudies for the future.

We will all be drawing our pensions by the time we start challenging again

Jeez, are you guys really complaining about not having to cover Partey and Tierney with the likes of Elneny, Ceballos, Kolasinac, etc?

Its no that, but Partey is average at best, so an understudy to an average player does not bode well for me.

Also, being grumpy makes me happy!

Tammy Abraham - views?

if you'd asked me the season before last, i'd say definitely interested, but i recall he missed a few sitters last season and let's face it if you can be pushed out of the starting eleven by Werner you've got problems...
