Deacs Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 4 hours ago, markjazzbassist said: Other than spurs and city I don’t know of anyone who has a starting quality FB or CB on their bench. Most CB and FB are durable and holgate is good, he was good even under koeman. Leicester won the league with the same 4 Backline the whole season. We have a good keeper and good CM as well. The area for me to spend the money is striker if we must. I think we need to offload a lot of players before we can do anything though. The wage bill is massive and the squad is too big. Totally agree about needing to offload some players and I’d like to see a striker come in as well. Leicester winning the league was just a freak though, we still need more depth at centre half.

Bailey Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 12 hours ago, Btay said: No chance - we should be looking at a solid cb. Even a loan and agree a fee Zouma for next season. We can’t depend on a kid who played mostly as RB as our back up CB Coleman was hit and miss - Blaine’s is almost done. I agree. We definitely need another starting CB and I presume one of the young lads will take the 4th position. Personally I have no confidence in Holgate as a starting CB as he just doesnt concentrate enough for 90 minutes. He can get away with it at RB most of the time and he should be Colemans back up with Kenny gone. With Baines signing, left back is sorted, at least from a first 11 perspective until January. I doubt they would have extended his contract if that wasnt the plan. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 For me we need a RB Coleman only showed glimpse of his best form last season and Holgate would not make a good replacement if needed, we also need a CB Keane and Mina could make a good pairing but I worry about Minas ability to stay injury free all season, and Holgate is not good enough to stand in for either of them, we also need a striker our lack of goals to chances created is poor we need a frontman who can score regularly, because our two main strikers aren’t doing the business.

Finn balor Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 In the echo tonight Marco has said he wants Zouma. After that he wants another three or four players. Let’s say we get Zouma. I think he wants three more and if gana goes that makes four. A striker a left footed winger and a right back. Then a like for like if gana goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 That’s what I’ve been saying in the longest thread for Everton, but when I said it I was accused of wanting to completely change the team, well now you’ve heard it from the horses mouth I expect the Silva thread to be berating him for saying the same thing. So I still standby my stance that with the positions that have been earmarked for improvement we should have been seeing more business being done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Coleman did really well towards the end of the season. I wasnt convinced for the first half of the season but he turned it around. I guess the question is, if Coleman got injured on the day after the window closed, would we be happy with Holgate playing until January?

markjazzbassist Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 if sandro loan and mirallas sale are to be believed, this is what's left of the deadwood pennington, garbutt, martina, mccarthy, dowell, bolasie, tarashaj, niasse maybes - lookman, onyekuru, tosun that's still a lot of people to get rid of.

Have a Bolasie and a Besic as well. seriously though - brands has some massive work ahead of him cleaning up after Walsh and Koeman. I think now some of the European comps are coming to an end a lot more activity will happen. If we finish this window with additions like - Gomes, Zouma, Malcom, Kean, Lossl + 1st team rb while moving on players like - Mirallas, Bolasie, Besic, Schniderlain, Niasse ect.
