Westcumbrianram Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Can we please just sign Freddy Guarin already, on a free transfer and scores wonder goals and loves a good tackle. It has nothing to do with my love for him in football manager ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus youfs Fozzy doesn't seem to be being treated for injury still, he's training with the first team as everyone else is - Do we think he's off?

It's still 24 seniors at this stage however we look at it. Without outgoings we're hardly short of numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see the two players to play the most minutes so far are George Evans and Mason Bennett. Is this out of necessity or does Cocu really rate them? I still think if Bennett clicks he can be 1 hell of a force in the championship. And I just googled Mason Bennett for his age, i honestly would have said he is 25...he is only 22, still a young lad in footballing terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans and Bennett played in the 60 minute match vs Bristol whereas the other starters against Burton played in the 45 minute match. It could also be to have a better look at how they can fit into a Cocu team - Bennett has played in 3 different positions during his 185 minutes - RW, LW and AM/SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Jeffrey Bruma, 27 year old centre back, currently out of the picture Wolfsburg, surprised he's still only 27 but used to be a bit of a beast a few years back! Worked under Cocu at PSV I think? Bruma, Van Ginkel, Ramselaar... sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. What team would take a chance on an older player with such an injury record? I'd say we're doing everything we can to build him up to peak fitness without pushing him too hard, and seeing him break down again after half a dozen appearances. We have two decent alternatives for his position, so no need to push him back before he's reached full fitness, or as close as he can get. He'd be my first choice LB, but this is his last chance saloon injury wise, so I'd be overly cautious on his return date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another with long term injury concerns and not the big powerful type that some want in midfield and to be honest he would be blocking a place in the team for possibly Sibley and Knight who seem to be main two coming through at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
