Ghost of Clough Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Which positions are we most likely to recruit? I'm assuming we'll stick with our current 4411/4231 system with 2 players per position. GK - Allsop, Roos, Marshall RB - Byrne, Festy CB - Jagielka, Stearman CB - Davies, Cashin LB - Forsyth, Buchanan, Williams RM - Jozwiak, Sibley CM - Bird, Tommo CM - Shinnie, Bielik LM - Knight AM - Lawrence, Ravel CF - Plange, Baldock, Kazim, Stretton We're heavy at GK, LB and CF, but light on the wings. Unless we get good offers for players, this will be where our activity in the transfer window will be. Marshall should be looking for a new club. LB is dependent on plans for next season - which two LBs do we plan to go into next season with. With Stretton's injury record, I don't expect any changes at CF. The player(s) we'll be looking at will most certainly be wingers, which fits in with the Diallo links. hintonsboots and Carl Sagan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it’s down in black and white it’s easier to see where the gaps are, and I agree, the squad does look light out wide Ghost of Clough 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHomunculusLives Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'd sell Buchanan and Sibley if decent offers come in, and let Baldock and Marshall go so we can bring in new faces in squad areas where we need more bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly Rooney will be extending Baldock (out of loyalty) whilst Marshall is still here so nothing imminent - Buchanan he clearly wants to keep and rightly so whilst Sibley could be available for the right money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Elanga currently the best attacking threat Man U have got against Villa. If he wants to come to us, then I think we’d get a great return from him. Would have champ defenders pants down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crewton Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 The Baldock decision may mean we have a good chance of bringing in a striker on loan. Hard on Baldock, but given his injury issues we can't afford to pay him to be unavailable. Fingers crossed the EFL are reasonable about Jagielka.

The decision on Baldock makes sense, but maybe suggests the plan is for Plange to lead the line for the rest of the season. Kazim and Stretton being options off the bench depending what style of forward we need. IslandExile and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he always tried his hardest but I think when you have a small squad every player needs to be right and I don’t think he’s right for us at the moment Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not surprised to see Baldock leave. Worked hard for us and made a bit of an impact so can only thank him for that. With CKR, Plange and Stretton, I think Baldock isn't really needed. On top of that, Lawrence has played down the middle this season and wouldn't surprise me if he was ahead of Baldock for that position too.
