Scott Sinclair - now gone

[Louzie0]

Yes like this for me

         Sanchez             Delphi

Gil                                           Sinclair

            Weimann         Benteke

That would be my choice as well.

That looks rather exciting and, dare I say it, potentially dangerous doesn't it?

Don't worry, Lambo will find a way to shoe-horn Cleverley and Gabby in there.

It would be what I would go for as well.  It's the formation Manchester City have played (albeit with better players) with Silva and Nasri tucking in at times. 

Going to stick my neck out and accepting that it was against a Championship side, but I thought Cleverley did better in a midfield two last weekend rather than the usual flat three.  Still would have Sanchez and Delph as the midfield two though.  Hopefully a spell on the bench would fire Gabby up as well and he could have one of his purple patches at the end of the season.

I'd love to see Weimann given a chance up front with Benteke. He's not the second Gary Shaw but I think there's 30 league goals a season between them.

Agreed as long as Benteke gets 29 of them.

Really gone off Weimann. Shame as I used to like him, but now I just can't stand seeing him on the pitch. I do think he deserves a chance in his natural position though.

[ozzjim]

Weimann is a bit of a strange one but playing more centrally suddenly was in the box in scoring positions against Bournmouth. If you put him up with Benteke it might just work, but I think it is more likely that Lambert will have him and Sinclair wide with Gil in a free role behind Benteke and then Sanchez and Delph sitting in.

Dangerous for whom? Us or them?

[nigel]

Agreed. Weimann's a striker who knows where the goal is, but he's utterly wasted playing out in the sticks.

I've mentioned this before, too.
He looks a different player when alongside the big man.
I think Benteke also plays better with Weimann around him

I agree, Weimann is a striker he is not a wide player.

[Ron Manager]

Im fairly sure Lambert likes three in the middle  Those three will be Cleverley,Sanchez and Delph. with Gil, Weimann and Benteke up front.

I think he will use Sinclair off the bench.

I have a feeling that we'll see a bit more from Cleverley now that we'll (hopefully) have Gil and Sinclair in the team.

[Clampy]

There's no way he'll drop both Cleverley and Westwood.  They'll both play in the next two games for a start.

OBHSTS?

Now we have Sinclair and Gil, there is absolutely no reason for Weimann to play wide. I have said before that I have felt sorry for him, because he's a victim of his own work rate and Lambert's inability to get flair/wide players in sooner.

Him playing off Benteke, where he can get in the box and do damage or where he can drop a little deeper to rough up the opposition midfield, as was the case against Borunemouth, is where he should be playing.

[PaulWinch again]

Has he actually been confirmed as a signing yet?

Later today.
