From marking one individual to stifle our creativity, we now have three players that will all be in different positions and will hurt any team if not marshalled properly.
Add in Olly and that's four players that will be looking to score and assist the others.
A dead ball specialist, (if not brought in immediately, then probably Ashley), gives a mouthwatering line up on paper; time will tell if it all clicks.

Yes the glass half full in me thinks his going could be the baking of us as we were definitely a one man team and I can’t help wondering if the other players also thought so subconsciously, hence limiting their confidence

The worry is we’ll look a little bit under done until they all get time together.

I think we'll bloom. With our front line cutting in from either side we'll batter most teams. But the proof is in the pudding.

There were times last season where we looked incredible, those West Brom and Burnley games - I know we managed to lose the latter but that was so one-sided I was almost embarrassed. We've expanded our attacking line-up and I am so incredibly excited to see what we're capable of now.

Yes it’s a good point. It could take a bit of time to get going.

His best attribute was creating masses of hitherto observable time and space for himself and others. Not many can do it so well so often with ball at feet
His best asset was wining free kicks. The records show that.
Better off with rugby league that stop start attitude.
Looking forward to some high flyers now with movement
You can keep diminishing his attributes all you want ... but the more you do it the less credible you become. JG is a pretty decent / world-acknowledged player - an all-round player - and we've received a record fee for him.
Now, we are in a position to benefit from that, thanks to the astute purchases already made; and one or two more to come over the next week or so.
But to bad-mouth him just doesn't seem right to me..

You’re right, of course, but it’s only human nature for the jilted, mate.

“Oh, she wasn’t that pretty/ he wasn’t that good-looking anyway.”

I think with those three added to the side we're going to ciabatta a few teams this season

Hard to pick a balanced 6 from these? Luiz, McGinn, Sanson, Nakamba, Ramsey, Traore, AEG, Buendia, Bailey, Ings, Watkins ....especially if another top DCM is coming in. Serious options though

It's certainly given us food for thought.

Well Sanson, Luiz and Bailey won't be ready to play next Saturday  -

So McGinn and Marv as the two.

As for the front four

Bert, Buendia (if fit) Watkins

Ings
