Ghost of Clough Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 3 hours ago, IlsonDerby said: Signing 2 new players in a position that doesn’t exist (wide forwards) in Warnes preferred system is bold. We need to sign a proper RWB, competition for Roberts who I think is a good enough footballer to play LWB. We need 2 first team ready CBS with Rooney deputising. An attacking mid and a striker (possibly two) closer to what Warne would want. A new goalkeeper as backup to JW. GK: Wildsmith, New RWB: New, Smith LWB: Roberts, New CB: Cash, Foz, New, New, Rooney CM: Hourihane, Bird, Knight, Thompson Att Mid: New, Sibley Strikers: McG, New, Collins, NML?? 7 new signings. At the right age profile. Squad of 21. Smith isn't a wingback Warne prefers 3 at the back. We don't yet know if he'll recruit for 343 or 352. Based on the players we have under contract for next season and the available free agents, 343 would be the better choice. We've tried Mendez-Laing and Barkhuizen as wing backs and they clearly don't enjoy it there and neither are CFs. It's either sell them (or let them leave for free) to recruit to 352, or keep them and recruit to 343. Unless we sell players, I imagine the squad would look more like this: GK: Wildsmith, New, Evans RCB: New, Rooney CB: New, New LCB: Cashin, Roberts RWB: Knight, New LWB: New RCM: Bird, Smith LCM: Hourihane, Tommo RW: Mendez-Laing, New LW: Sibley, Barkhuizen CF: McGoldrick, New, Collins Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 priority i think is wing backs so warne can play his favoured 3-4-3. put mendez laing mcgoldrick and maybe a new signing uptop. bound to be some goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGoldrick as a free agent in the summer might also leave, he said he was waiting to see what happens to Derby by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Key is another, but already linked with Championship clubs so I think we need to become one to stand any chance. A resounding NO from me on Wilson or Bonne who we've been linked with before, and I don't remember or know much about Sheehan, or Onomah to give any kind of assessment so hopefully someone on here can give us a considered opinion. Koroma, also another decent shout. Bradley Dack has had one really good season, but too much baggage for me with his wannabe Mrs. Certainly interesting suggestions.

Oldben Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wilson_(English_footballer) Not a bad tally of 23 goals in League Two in the 2021/22 season. Though I admit this season his tally wasn't great, was that injury related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldben Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 On potentially free agent goalkeeper who might be worth considering in the Sumner is Jamal Blackman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
