Did you not make out its laughable to want Holgate over Keane? How little you rated Keane but still would have played him over Holgate says a lot about your judgement of a player. What matches did I miss at the start of the season when Sigurdssen lit the world alight under Silva? He's no centre mid but to blame the formation is laughable. Lost count of the amount of times I didn't realise he was on the pitch. The man's ghosted his career here. Lovely highlight reel once he leaves but aside from the odd banger he's done no were enough in the shirt. Pienaar is has great qualities, he just had very poor application. Said it many a time, he'd be one of the best 5aside players but in elevens he was wasteful and stupid. Just like Sigurdssen he failed at Spurs for a reason, the reason being he's not good enough. Just like Jagielka wasn't good enough to make the step up, and compared to the players I've seen at the club he should never have been more than third choice nevermind captain Baines isn't world class that's hardly controversial other than in your soggy biscuit club. Don't get why you bringing him up. He's done a good job here. If only I was a BBC pundit highlighting 1 minute of play and telling you what to think rather than you making the judgement yourself considering you've actually got more to go off.

We also have to have either a pacy box to box midfielder, or a Gana type that can read the midfield. At the moment we are done if anyone hits us with pace, or plays a ball through the middle of the park. At least we don't have to worry about having to shift more shite with him only being on loan.

markjazzbassist Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Needs - Starting RB, Starting RW, Starting DM, CB (I’m fine with Mina and holgate And keane so they just need to compete, I don’t need to blow this kitty on this one) Fringe players id keep - Morgan, Walcott, keane, kean, davies sell - tosun, gylfi, Sandro, Bolasie, besic, dowell, Pennington, Tarashaj Out of contract - Martina stek Sidibe niasse garbutt getting a proper RB and DM will go a long ways to helping our defense, that’s why I’m ok with Mina and holgate and keane and getting someone to rotate in their and fight for a spot. RW speaks for itself, Walcott as cover there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 If we are taking the 2 players for each spot we have: GK - Pickford / Lossl / Virginia (always need) LB - Digne / Baines RB - Coleman / Kenny (risky) CB - New / Mina / Keane / Holgate DM - Schneiderlin / Gbamin CM - New / Gomes (plus another new player if playing 3 men in midfield LW - Bernard / Iwobi RW - NEW / Walcott ST - Richarlison / DCL / Kean / New StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Centre back, centre mid and either a right winger or a forward. Looks like the centre half at Lille will be coming in. I’d like Dwight McNeil for the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I get lots of signing suggestions on my news feed but at present want a good outcome from this saga and all players/staff/supporters of our club to get through it. No way of knowing how the next months/year are going to pan out in terms of fixtures and competitions. Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 it's going to be an interesting window this summer. i'm reading a lot of clubs are having financial troubles and will be offloading players to try and ease the financial burden. we seem to (finally) be on firm footing finance wise, so hopefully we can take advantage of this. Barca in particular has been reported to put everyone except Messi, Ter Stegen, and De Jong, available for sale. Could be some bargain deals to be had and we know Brands and Bill get along well with the Barca people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be some bargain deals to be had and we know Brands and Bill get along well with the Barca people. It works both ways though, if everyone is having to sell due to unforseen loss of income then there won't be tons of clubs throwing money around as they can't afford to spend themselves - as exciting as the prospect of cheap transfers is, there's absolutely no way that clubs will sell plays for 50% less than what they are worth when money could be saved in other areas such as staff redundancies, selling property and government grants. As you mentioned Barcelona, they will look to swap Greizmann with Neymar as this is a deal that has been in the works for over six months, along with Ivan Rakatic who they've been trying to flog all season. As you rightly pointed out, Ter Stegen, Messi and De Jong will be going nowhere. As for the transfer window in general, I don't think there will be much movement at all. Clubs will not have the money to spend that they normally do and will probably focus on the summer after next for any big targets, especially as this is when the European Championships will be starting and some bargains will be found throughout the lesser known nations. For us, Brands has always said that he wants to get to a point where we bring in 1-2 players a window as signing 11 and 12 players is just insane. I think we will probably add a center back (Gabriel?) and a right-back to replace Sidibe and compete with Coleman/Kenny. A number 10 is needed too, but after that I think the line will be drawn, 3 players in maximum with the option to then add a further one or two in January.

Gwlad Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I'd guess Carlo is already planning to work with what he's got, I totally agree about a lack of movement in the summer. If there's any opportunity to strengthen then I trust Brands to be on to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh start when all this is over - Gbamin back to fitness with no rush is the most ideal outcome to this, genuinely believe he is going to lockdown the midfield with Gomes, would love us to sign another top top CM Allan/Kondogbia and go 3 in the middle. CB - this Gabriel is highly rated, fingers crossed. Mina still relatively young and Holgate getting better all the time. Made my thoughts on Keane clear. RB - Depends on how much they rate Kenny. Would love for him to slot in and us not to have to sign someone. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW the biggest need we have. we have fit CBs, we have no RW (walcott is a bench player). That is the biggest need then a CB. RB will be kenny and coleman it seems. i'm fine with that.

StevO Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Bring back Kenny and hope he can compete or back up Coleman. If we can get a solid centre half it would be great for us. A strong centre midfielder to play next to Gomes. If we can get a winger in, they need to be left footed for me. With Bernard, Walcott, Iwobi and Richarlison (rather him be upfront) being our wide options, they are all right footed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
