DontTrustTheDevilInside Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thinking about cbs we can build a defence around and make a marquee signing this summer... Why not Ben Gibson from Burnley, there were rumours he was out of contention and available earlier this summer and would piss of steve Gibson massively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We need a goalkeeper,a centre half, at least one winger, an attacking midfielder and a striker. Not much time to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think at most that we'll target GK, CB, AM & wide forward/winger (bearing in mind we already have a squad that should be utilised instead of throwing wages in the bin). And at the least we'll target a CB (eg. Tomori) and an AM/wide forward (eg. Wilson). Use the squad we've got + the youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 We had Nugent last year and used him particularly early in the season. Bennett isn't prolific and Martin hasn't shown any form for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Would like to see a CB and GK bought in on permanent deals. CM and Winger as loans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I can't see many youths other than the CMs stepping up to the first team squad, except for the rare game. I think our ideal situation would be to end up with a squad such as this: GK: New, Mitchell RB: Bogle, new (cheap cover) CB: Keogh, New, Evans, Davies LB: Malone, Lowe DM: New, Huddlestone, Bird, Evans CM: Shinnie, Holmes, Dowell, Sibley, Knight W: Lawrence, New, Bennett CF: Waghorn, Marriott, Martin Youths to fill out the rest of the squad players as when when they're needed. InGK - First Choice. Permanent or view to permanentRB - Cheap cover for the few games Bogle is likely to miss. Ideally the new CB can fill in here.CB - First choice to play alongside Keogh. Loan signing so the path isn't blocked for our youths next season.DM - First choice. Evans will be CB cover, Bird is inexperienced, Huddlestone will only play about 50% of the games, so an extra body will be needed. Loan signing so the path isn't blocked for Bird to play a bigger role next season. Could be permanent if we see Huddlestone leaving at the end of the season.W - First choice / rotation with Lawrence/Bennett. Someone who is a level above FloJo. Loan signing so the path isn't blocked for our youth wingers next season. 3 more loans and 1 permanent. But, I think we need to see a lot leave as well. Out: Roos - we want better and he wants to be 1st choice Carson, Wisdom, Forsyth, Thorne, Butterfield, Jozefzoon and Anya - all high wages for squad players Realistically, we won't see that many leave, with a good chunk of those listed staying as rotation/squad options. We may not sign as many as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to want to get rid of Roos and Carson, one or the other. I agree a new keeper is needed. But Roos should be 2nd Keeper/competition. Carson will be sold. Butters released if no one takes him. Fozzy and Wisdom are both coming back from injury, suspect a loan until January. Thorne? Who knows, he might be a squad member, but he seems to keep breaking down. Anya may yet prove to be a useful squad player. 'Zoon is nailed on first team right now it seems. Unless we bring in a serious upgrade its up to Cocu to coach the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transfers out i listed where based on an "ideal situation" where we sign a new starter. Bennett is arguably above Jozefzoon (and Anya) in the pecking order meaning we're left with an expensive 4th (and 5th) choice who would likely drop in value as a result.

We may not sign as many as a result I agree with most of this. Don't mind Josefzoon staying but trust Cocu's judgment on that one. We may need two midfielders (it was a weakness last season and it hasn't really improved yet). We definitely need another winger/playmaker option. Shame about Tomori but can understand it, in a way might be a good thing, as we need a more commanding centre half alongside Keogh - Davies is obviously decent but could be difficult for him to come back from the injury and may not fit Cocu's style.

Nuwtfly Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Here's what we should be looking to bringing in over the next 16 days, in my opinion... Goalkeeper: Centre half: (to replace Tomori) Defensive midfielder: (to replace Johnson) Right-Winger: (to replace Wilson) Bonus: Another central midfielder who can act as a link-up man with the centre-forward (Ramselaar would be an ideal candidate).

I would love to give Evans a chance at CB - he really looked classy end of last season - granted small sample size. We have Shiniesta but another all action central mid would be great to allow the luxury of Sir Tom. The biggest hole is Wilson’s goals. The money and energy needs to go to into top talent winger. A young Mr Kinkladze would do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The problem with Tomori is it could stop us buying a CB which we really need to do. We have an ageing CB and a shoe in currently for LCB position. yes it’s my coping mechanism for him not coming back. Feel free to pinch it!
