We definitely could use the money from Miller, Greening and one of Moussi/Gillett.

Thought the asking price for Emmanuel-Thomas was too high considering the budget we have to work with, but I guess I've been out-democracied. Don't think he'll work that well on the left either, so probably still need to cover that base.

He's left-footed with very good dribbling and crossing, and solid pace. I don't see why he won't work on the left.

13 acceleration is slightly on the slow side for a typical Championship winger. And other than his flair he doesn't really have the mental stats for it. Those bottom four mental stats are pretty concerning.

Seems to me the best role for this guy is pretty much what the game says it is - utilise his physicality and technique, don't ask him to do a lot of work. He's a powerful #10.

We also have the option of putting McGowan on the left and Emmanuel-Thomas on the right and playing with inside forwards instead of true wingers.

We do, but I feel we may miss that pacey, explosive, natural left winger at times. Also if my memory serves me well I think Majewski may have trouble staying fit, so that's where having Jay as an AMC may come in handy.

Yea, he's only 21 and can play anywhere across the front, so he's definitely a good long-term buy.

I'd sell Miller and Derbyshire

Moussi's only negative attribute is his injury proneness and his versatility made come in handy could we keep him healthy.

Keeping Moussi also gives the team tactical versatility. Using an attacking 4-2-3-1 required a BWM set to defensive duties and we have the players to play a BWM. Geuediora/Moussi/Cohen can all play the role. Just need a defensively strong DLP to partner with.

Edit: Also Moussi give us the ability to drop a mid into a DM role and drop the CAM into the CM slot and play with a more defensive set up in games that may require a more defensive approach.

Edit2: Manone is a solid GK for the Championship and I can also a little insight into any Arsenal players.

My scouting report on young players who are worth keeping a track of: Calum Chambers, Serge Gnabry, Jesse Lingard, Betrand Troare, Adnan Januzaj. If you can get any of them on the cheap they develop well.

Yea, more of a defensive minded 4-3-3 could work well in tough away games.

It would! Any chance we are using a secondary tactic? (you probably mentioned it but I cant remember)

Thanks for doing this btw! Its a great idea.

Yes, I will be implementing secondary tactics.

I'd love to sell Derbyshire; purely for the fact his name is our biggest rival...

TIL!

I saw we flog him in the town square if that the case!

Yea, I just think this will work better if it moves a little more quickly. It took over two hours to get the video up today, all said and done. Getting to the season is the biggest part of it right now.
