I could though see him in the starting lineup first game of the season as Gana will of been in the ACON and Delph will now of had most of the preseason. I just hope that Marco doesn’t persevere unless he really proves me wrong, which I doubt. He would not of signed for us if he was not given certain assurances about his playing time. Given that we are going to start Gomes and Siggy that leaves 1 free spot in midfield which, by the looks of it will be Delph. That means Gana and Morgan are back up to start with. I cant imagine Gana settling for that, Morgan may as there have been no offers for him. We have no European games, so there is not going to be the level of rotation that would mean we would use more than 2 players per position, which is what Silva and Brands want for the squad. I cant but help think that Gana was told in December he could go, but only in the summer, when we got a replacement, and only for the right money.

I think he’ll start the first game but I'm sure that he’ll be used as an option to provide cover in multiple positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 If he’s playing, and continuing to play, then he must be playing well to keep his place. So if he is, I’ll be happy with that. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gana is the best DM in the league, replacing him with an oft injured average player would mean we are getting run over in midfield. We’ll see how far off I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see how far off I am Very rare we have control in midfield since the McCarthy Barry pairing, mostly because Gana is chaotic. Delph I assume will at least hold position and give us a better foothold in a game. That said I'd prefer McCarthy or Davies to be given a chance first.

London Blue Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Great video that, cant wait for Thursday. I'm most gladdened by the fact we are doing this the right way, not forgetting our heritage, and with a bit of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before but whatever has happened to our media team in recent years is incredible, video production especially (we still get glitches in live streams) is night and day from what it was. I spent some time working in the field a long time ago and our offerings just a few years back were embarrassing to me; nowadays I'd be surprised if any club had better.
