That of course enables Barnes to start on the LW. In any case I'm wondering how happy Barnes will be playing second fiddle if he stays fit this season. Interesting to see how we manage him this time around. Yes. In that case, I think Gordon should be tried on the right. Or maybe Willock could play there as a false winger, leaving Trippier or Livramento all the wing. The times I've seen Gordon on the right, I've not been completely convinced. He has the natural talent to shine, but obviously he shines less on the right. I mentioned this at the beginning of the transfer window. It's a shame because I really like Barnes, but it doesn't make sense for your two most talents players to play on the left and the two who play on the right to be mediocre. So if an offer came for Barnes for the same price he cost and we could sign a great right winger with that, it would make a lot of sense. Obviously, I don't think that can happen. It's bad luck not to have been able to keep Minteh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if Gordon gets injured you're left with Joelinton or a 17 year old playing the rest of the season on the LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

En mi opinión, la plantilla está cerrada para fichajes a la espera de poder fichar a un central (Guehi). Hay que recordar que Lascelles y Borman están lesionados y, aunque se recuperen 'pronto', han tenido lesiones muy graves que les pueden impedir estar bien toda la temporada. Cuento con la salida de Lewis y Fraser. También tenemos a Ashby, aunque no lo puse porque no había espacio. Creo que es posible que se quede Targett. No me importaría que Hayden se quedara. Creo que como centrocampista suplente, un especialista en la destrucción podría ser bueno para jugar algunos partidos de Copa y darnos descanso de vez en cuando. Además, me aterroriza que volvamos a sufrir la plaga de lesiones de la temporada pasada, por lo que tendríamos que cubrir todas las bases. Espero que Kuol salga cedido. No he podido ver al chico en absoluto, pero debe estar lejos de su nivel todavía. Tenemos que solucionar el tema del portero, pero no me preocupa (y también está Gillespie, pero creo que su papel ya no será el de ser titular en el equipo). Me quedo con Osula. Apenas lo he visto, pero todos conocemos los problemas de Wilson con las lesiones (y también los de Isak en sus últimos años). Si Almirón se va, creo que deberíamos hacer un gran desembolso y traer a un muy buen jugador para la banda derecha. No sé si tendremos el dinero, pero podría ser una diferencia si ponemos a 'otro' Gordon en la banda derecha. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about having a balanced team. In any case, it is something that is not going to happen and it is not something that should be given too much thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17252 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 So Madueke is being touted as Miggy’s replacement. I saw all the games v Chelsea last season and couldn’t really remember him doing much. Fact is we played 570 minutes v Chelsea and he played in a grand total of 3 of them. So can spreadsheet dudes dish the stats that prove he’s a better player than Miggy and not just some petulant penalty kick prick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrokendoll 9203 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 looking increasingly likely we'll go in to the first game of the season with nottingham forest's third choice goalkeeper as our biggest outlay of the summer. who'd have thought it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10856 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 14 hours ago, Diego21 said: Right now we are like this. In my opinion, the squad is closed for signings while we wait for us to sign a centre-back (Guehi). We must remember that Lascelles and Borman are injured and, although they recover 'soon', they have had very serious injuries that could keep them from being good for the whole season. I am counting on the departures of Lewis and Fraser. We also have Ashby, although I didn't put him in because there was no space. I think it is possible that Targett stays. I wouldn't mind if Hayden stayed. I think that as a starting midfielder, a specialist in destruction could be good to play some Cup games and give us a rest from time to time. Also, I am terrified that we will suffer the plague of injuries from last season again, so we would have to cover all the bases. I hope that Kuol goes on loan. I haven't been able to see the boy at all, but he must be far from his level yet. We need to sort out the goalkeeping issue, but I'm not worried about it (and there's Gillespie too, but I think his role will no longer be to be a regular in the team). I'd stick with Osula. I've hardly ever seen him, but we all know Wilson's problems with injuries (and Isak has had some in his later years too). If Almiron leaves, I think we should make a big outlay and bring in a very good player for the right wing. I don't know if we'll have the money, but it could make a difference if we play 'another' Gordon on the right wing. I think Hall played quite a few minutes in the 6 role during preseason. He'll provide a little depth in that position. I wouldn't have Hayden around the first team, to be honest. He's just not at the level needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he came here he also had more of an attacking instinct. He'd done and I agree there's no point in having him around the first team. We have plenty of depth in midfield and we want to give fringe time to the young players rather than those on their decline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13863 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I like Almiron. Think his graft is excellent and he’s played his part over the last two seasons with some incredible performances and goals but I wish he’d just fuck off 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
