Sparkle Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 13 hours ago, Kokosnuss said: If we're ditching the 5 at the back we do need someone who's somewhat competent defensively at RB (we can't really move Smith back there if we lose Bird and/or don't get a new midfielder)... although tbh I have no idea whether Yiadom is actually any good. We haven’t got a right back as both ward and Wilson are reportedly rubbish at defending - I sure would be signing Andy Carroll to give us hope of winning a header in a front 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 sounds like Wilson & Ward could be out for a while so Yiadom would make sense if that is the case, maybe a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 On 17/08/2023 at 21:47, BPV said: Although I think signing a right back and playing 4 at the back is the right move, it doesn’t half get on my t*ts that Warne couldn’t see the players he’s splashed all our wage budget on wouldn’t fit that system. So needs to now spend our remaining budget signing a 3rd player capable of playing on the right hand side of our defence. Either that or Wards injury is a bad one. Yet again another player over the age of 30 with absolutely no resale value or room to improve. I just don’t understand what is going on with our recruitment this year at all. It’s true, but resale value is only important if you’ve paid something in the first place. Paying big transfer fees for older players is bonkers but if they are on free then paying wages to a new worker is totally ok Steve How Hard?, Carnero, S6 boy and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still not completely free, even though I accept your point. Bigger problem is it just kicks the can further down the road, and you end up perpetually doing the same thing with no continuity. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thats part of the plan .. as weird as it sounds if it buys the club time, time to get away from the EFL business plan, time to reingnite the accademy , time for the accademy kids to come of age etc i agree i am a little concerned that all these senior players we’re brining in only kicks the can down the road … unless theres a genuine game plan behind it all Carnero and jono 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you’re on the money there.

Thought he looked like he might run down a few blind alleys in his cameo against Oxford, but just having the legs to gallop up the pitch was pleasing to see jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
