Cocu's first signing at PSV was Luuk De Jong whose massive so I think it's an important position for him to have the right player Yes I think he might go for someone like Cyriel Dessers who is 25 and causing trauma in every defense in the Eredivisie. In the summer we probably could have got him for 1M tops now probably 4-5M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t stay fit either. Still rate him....he's had a few injuries but he's looked decent when I've seen him play he obviously doesn't score highly on your stats calculator......

Ask Leeds fans on their opinion. Most wish he had never joined them. Even against our U23s he did little of note on the ball and struggled to deal with Hepburn-Murphy.

I think that’s very unlikely. I’m not sure he could influence a premier league match as much as he does in the championship (big fish - small pond and all that).

Van der MoodHoover Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 This season's gone more or less as I thought it would...albeit with loads of added off field shenanigans.

Emson Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 We need to get the best out of the players we have - if they play to their full potential they can be excellent. And we have to have a majority of the team capable of playing in the Premier if we get there , so cannot let go our better ones. Whilst retaining players who have proven ability in the champ. The key for the defence is to get a quality keeper in , one who wins us points like Carson regularly used to do. And who inspires his defence . The sort who might have stopped the equalisers by Huddersfield and Fulham. And for whom letting in 3 goals in a game is a rarity. If Carson can no longer do that I would try to pick up Westwood from Wednesday. 35 I know but always looks immense for them when they come to PP. If not him, Wigans Marshall is also quality. Neither would cost a bomb. Bogle clearly is quality , we do not want to let him go. He's just having second season syndrome and will be back better than ever before long. Personally I am more than happy for Forsyth to be the left back - a proper defender with height . Max Lowe needs to work on his desire to be a defender and would be good backup. If he doesn't fancy that he can go to Brentford. The new dutch guy fills one of the CB places and I would put Bielik next to him : we have plenty of good midfielders, ts Bieliks natural position. Davies/Evans perfectly good backup. Midfield is sorted. Bird, Rooney, Knight, Sibley, Shinnie, Hudds, Lawrence Up front we all know Marriott can be something special - its up to the management and himself to make that happen. Waggy is so reliable and hardworking and picks up plenty of goals, and Chrissy Martin a good alternative for another year. And plenty from the academy pushing. So it just needs a good winger. God knows who. They you are - new keeper, new winger. Splash the cash on them two. All that's needed. And forget loans, they don't help. We should use the academy instead.

JustOneBiblicalKazim Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Apart from the areas where we’re in real need of reinforcements like goalkeeper, centre half and winger, one thing I’d really love is a proper clinical striker, just a shame any half decent ones cost an arm and a leg.

RamNut Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Optimism depends upon whether there will be a points deduction this season, next season or both. we certainly need to have made a big cut in the wages in order to avoid further problems. The defence needs a rebuild; the midfield can still be improved; and none of our strikers look quite right in a 4231. Keeper: I had high hopes for roos, but along with one or two others he seems to have plateaued and remains prone to errors. Ravas probably needs a loan. new signing(s) required. full backs; wizz and fozzy are doing ok. The jury is out on bogle and Lowe. Ebosele, Buchanan and Archie brown seem to be bubbling under. Perry ng has been linked too. Depends on whether we attract big money bids for bogle and Lowe. Malone will stay if there is no interest in him, and I wouldn’t really expect any. central defence: te wierik and Davies are confirmed, but we certainly need one or two more. A Clarke / bogle exchange deal might be a possibility. Alternatively we might be linked with another Chelsea youngster on loan. I quite like the look of the tomori lookalike at Swansea. Not sure about wizz after that display at Swansea. holding midfield: max bird has blossomed and we should expect big money interest in him. Huddz might get another year if bird goes. (Cocu seems to like him). Bielik is out. Evans and shinnie are decent squad players. Jason brown is emerging at a rate of knots. wide men: it looks like we will continue to rely on full backs for width, rather than wingers. Lawrence is an inside forward, not a winger. Knight is playing out of position. Holmes might shift out wide to accommodate Rooney. Hepburn-Murphy might be the surprise package. Jozefzoon and anya will surely both go. central midfield; Rooney is the man. knight and sibley may have to be patient. Holmes - see above. striker; Waghorn, Whittaker and one other? I don’t see Marriott or Martin surviving for long under cocu. I think he would prefer a more mobile pacy striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
