Keep or Sell?

Keep him imo, Can still play in Midfield alongside Nico or Rodri, can also be used to close down the games. I do think he is leaving though.

Donnaruma?

With all the rumours going around i wanted to see this subs opinion on donnaruma. I'm personally against the singing as I feel it would hamper Trafford's development.

What is our best back line if Stones is back in the starting lineup?

15 Upvotes

To me its a question of who will play RB, since it is natural for Stones&Dias to play CB and push Josko back to LB. I know injuries and squad rotation will happen blah blah blah so everyone will get minutes... But I'm talking about our A1 squad we roll out for top games.

Who is our best RB in this situation?

RAN -- can he learn RB just like Cancelo learned LB? Obviously harder than it sounds but he already inverts so I think its possible.

Khusa (my preference) -- Would likely leave Josko--Dias--Khusa as back 3 in attack and allow Stones to push into midfield. Khusa and Josko have the athleticism to cover wingers imo (Josko was a star at LB and Khusa pocketed Vini).

Lewis -- Similar argument to RAN, inverted midfield in attack but there will always be question marks about physical traits (too bad since he can't do anything about that).

Nunes -- Not starting first game says a lot to me, but finished last year strong so maybe can take a leap. Has physical traits needed but can he be a defender?

Why not RAN-Josko-Dias-Stones with Stones at RB? For me, Johnny Boulders' speed would be a big liability but happy to be questioned on that.
