Ghost of Clough Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 3 hours ago, RoyMac5 said: I agree. I find it odd that so much is made of Tomori's ball skills and pace and so little about his other lacking skills. He was good for us but I'm not sure I'd want to sign him for £10m as our centre-half. Because his “lacking skills” improved tremendously throughout the season. I doubt he’ll ever be as aerially dominant as Davies, but another season at this level improving as he was and he won’t be far off. You can tell he’s determined to be as good as he possibly can be, so it’s reasonable to assume he will improve in the weaker side of his game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northantsram Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Bit off topic but imagine this team and formation (assuming we signed tomori) Roos/ new GK Keogh Davies Tomori Bogle Malone Holmes Shinnie Lawrence Marriott Waghorn I know its not Football Manager but let me explain why i think this would work.... In Defence Davies is a rock but not really a ball playing centre back so he would act as a kind of sweeper, Tomori and Keogh given a bit of licence to break through the midfield. Full backs both better attacking than defending so having the extra centre back would mean less defending. Holmes and Shinnie would provide a decent balance of energy and closing down and creativity. I still believe no 10 is Lawrences best position and he would be a major goal threat down the middle. Marriott and Waghorn... both hard working , both score goals.. Waghorn perhaps better at holding the ball up and marriott at running the channels. Can you tell im excited .. please stay Frank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Could be something like this with the contract extensions Carson wisdom. Keogh. Davies. Fozzy Shinnie Butterfield. Thorne Bennett. Jihnson Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Mel allows Lampard and his staff to join Chelsea without compensation, but Frank has to agree to let Abraham, Tomori and Mount join us on loan. We appoint Chris Hughton and Mel's flogging Pride Park to himself gives the new manager funds to buy three expensive players.

RamNut Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Carson v roos bogle malone keogh evans johnson holmes shinnie waghorn marriott jozefzoon or lawrence roos blotted his copybook at wembley - that could let carson back in evans has shown that he could play centre back, altho might lack a bit of pace and mobility shinnie ? No idea. Holding roll or box to box? however.....things will be different by august. Can't see a new manager playing 6 or 7 Lampard buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another variation on this could be the 4-4-2 diamond formation with: GK: Roos/New GK DF: Bogle, Keogh, Tomori, Malone/Lowe DM: Ball-winning anchorman CM: Holmes, Shinnie AM: Lawrence FW: Waghorn, Marriott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JfR Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Assuming a 4-3-3 and that none of the out-of-favour players will be entering back into the picture, I think what you're looking at for next season is something like this: There's every chance a few of those names could leave, but from this where does everyone think needs reinforcing?

Rest is ok I suppose but we appear reliant on Holmes staying fit given he covers a number of spots. Generally though if we want to do better this year then that squad does not look better than last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
