We do need a CB and a wing forward who can stretch defences in January.

We don't have any natural wingers in our squad. Our best dribbler is Iwobi ffs. We play way too narrow.

I would trade Ramsey for Bailey. So we would just need to buy this wing forward which should be financially possible.

Since the start of the season, I've been dreading the fact that our squad is paperthin. Now those fears are starting to materialise.

Massive investment needed.

A winger like Bailey or Pavon would be huge.

Also would not mind seeing Rabiot join. We don't really have a lot of depth in our midfield, and with Mesut's injuries and Rambo leaving in the summer, some real investment in midfield is needed. Rabiot is set to leave PSG asap.

Would put Holding for Mustafi when fit but this is our best formation imo. Maybe Monreal for Kola in bigger games as he can't defend for f**k.

My formation was just for the next game where we play our first choice. It's clear that we'll go with 3412 or 3421 in the immediate future so I want to see us try that.

Personally I think 3 at the back suits us better anyway, instead of the 41212 we've been talking about. It gives our fulbacks full attacking license and I think that is important until we get real wingers in the squad

Until we make more signings and to play this we do need a 3rd striker to replace Welbeck then I wouldn't mind seeing this if Emery is going to persist with the 3 at the back system, although today we started with 4 so it seems like it'll keep changing.

Obviously when Holding is back he can alternate with the CB's.

The Irish one. Looks like chocolate, fantastic spirit to help the team out, something you can count on in many situations, and can be included in multiple combinations without being out of place.
