If we sign Marega and we don't bring in a DM then surely we would play 442 or 4411 - MPs preferred formation, thoughts?

Hi Kane,

Concerning a DM, i'm a little unsure the thoughts of MP with this, I did think it would be a certainty this position would be filled, but its getting late in the day and i'm starting to wonder if MP may use young Declan and Noble for this position.

Concerning Obiang its a difficult situation for all, it seemed he was on his way back to Samps which by reports I have read on here is want he wanted, now if that been blocked due to what ever reason and we need him until we / if we can get cover, the question is, will he be able to put his disappointment behind him, by all reports he was woeful on Saturday.

I really would like to know what positions are a must priority to fill before the window shuts, although the defence looks ropy still will MP think that we have enough if we can't get anyone in, its not the end of the world, the same goes for a wide players now Antonio seems to be staying, and again a striker, if we can get this chap from Porto brilliant, if not again will MP think we can get by to maybe the Jan window?

Any thoughts chaps, if we could only bring in 2 more players albeit buys or loans, which 2 positions do we need the most, or even if some feel we can get by in what we have already.

Until WH are happy with midfield OBIANG won’t be allowed to leave, if we cannot solve it he will stay, too be honest looking back at Saturday if he performs like he did then I would be happy to see him go IF everybody on this site remembers it was myself and PHIL that beat the drum for him to be bought by WH years ago , BUT he always said he wanted to return home to Sampadoria IRONMIKE.

Cheers Mike

Do we really want someone whose heart is not in it?, yes of course we can not leave ourselves short but if his disappointment is that great, and if he starts and it does not go well on the pitch and the fans get on his back surley it will be a no one situation for everyone.

Have we really got no one else in the squad albeit maybe not as good as Obiang that could not cover if we failed to bring someone in? . Surely a lesser player who is gunning to make an impression levels itself out with a player who is/ can't give it his all.

I agree Warrington. Would much rather see Rice and others given a chance than obiang who’s heart isn’t in it.

If memory serves me correctly, Pellegrini only played with one DM when he was at Man City and that was Fernandinho. If we have Noble and Declan Rice, perhaps he will rely on those two until next season and just bring in one DM next season when he can get his first choice (whoever that may be)
Maybe by bringing in Fredericks he may deploy zabaleta as a DM where he won’t be so exposed for pace?

Hiya MIKE what's your views on NOBLE because if people think he's good enough i for one don't if him and kouyate aren't replaced then for me this might sound harsh then we haven't improved our team enough was it a coincedence that when OBIANG was out we struggled to protect our defenders I've watched noble very closely last season and mike he ain't good enough mate what's your views please mike. COYI.
