c1982 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 We need more players with a first touch like Bernard. So many attacks die and end up back at the feet of Pickford due to our players needing too many touches or passes behind rather than into their path. Gomes fits the bill and hopefully Gbamin will too but more quality is needed. Matt, markjazzbassist and Bailey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean we need to go into the market in a serious way to take push up the table while the rest of the supposed big boys are foundering?

StevO Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 I wouldn’t let him leave, I’d have that extension on the table right now.

If we want finish further up, we definitely need a CB and I agree an actual RW would also be helpful, although we do have 2-3 options there. DCM probably 3rd priority considering we’ve hopefully got 2 coming back towards end of season and 4 currently fit for CM (though form isn’t exactly inspiring from 2 of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel has come out saying RW is thin and priority. it feels good. Fair play. You did call it. Personally I would still get in a cover CB first. We only have 3. One injury would see us in a bad position. Does not seem that the club see Gibson as the fourth spot but maybe things have changed? (if so, I would probably change my mind too). If Walcott got hurt, there are a few people that could be makeshift cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
