Ram1988 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 27 minutes ago, McMuffin said: Rodak or Iverson? I think they are of a similar level. So there isn't a lot between them. The only thing about Rodak is he hasn't played as much football as Iverson recently. I would rather our number 1 be a permanent signing as opposed to a loan though.

Nuwtfly Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) Interesting one this morning… someone spotted this in the background of that recent podcast. Image on the left has 13 white circles. Warne mentioned he wanted to sign 12 players this summer I think? Does this indicate the positions we’re after? Edited July 17 by Nuwtfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Not sure what it indicates, but I count 13 white circles on the left. There's two Keepers, and two strikers which would make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby'sThighs Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 9 hours ago, IslandExile said: Could the loan targets at CB and LB be the two youngsters that Southampton have signed, presumably with an eye to the future? https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24435512.southampton-fc-fans-reacted-edwards-wood-joining/ Peterborough do it again! - Ronnie Edwards picked up for next-to-nothing from Barnet, sold on for £3m a few seasons later. They have a knack for finding youngsters, giving them 100+ games to develop, then taking a reasonable fee for them. I don't remember him standing out particularly when we played them though... jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like we're trying to sign: x2 goalkeepers x2 central defenders x1 left-wing back x4 central midfielders x2 wingers x2 strikers inter politics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not definite of course and all subject to change. Edited July 17 by Caerphilly Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s varied things regularly based on form, availability and opposition. We’ve been pretty adaptable. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt be surprised to see Rooney go out on loan having not had much football last season and will they try and move Bradley on? Hopefully Cash is staying.

It doesn't seem like red circles can represent multiple players (as seen at RWB) Nuwtfly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I'm pretty happy we're possibly looking at 3-4-3 as our plan A. If it's approached in the same way Leverkusen used it last season then it's a solid shape to control games and can be dynamic going forward. The key to it is to have 3 centre backs who are comfortable on the ball and are able to play it forward and to have 2 midfielders in front who can break up play and pick a pass. Looks like the Ebou and Kenzo are good candidates for midfield. Cashin and Nelson can be 2 of the defenders. Not sure that Bradley is good enough with his feet to be one of the starting CBs, but a good option to bring on to defend the lead or add extra height for set pieces when chasing a game. Paul Warne is the Championship Xabi Alonso? Who knew? 🙂 jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
