Summer window

Neebody wants him lol

 

Well what a 48 hours that has been! Some real weird posts from some very level headed posters. People who have stated trust the club they know what they are doing were suddenly agreeing with Kipper lol so called journalist writing any old crap they could find on twitter to try and get more views and clicks on their feeds.
As a fan base we settled down and I thinks that the trust started to return and the picture started to become clearer but the truth is that the hard work is only just starting now.
TM has to integrate these new signings into his team a mould us into something more than we were last year, so I think again we may need to be a little more patient than some would like to be.
Remember the league is not won in September so my hope is after the international break (which I think suits us as a club) we can start to gel and hopefully build up a head of steam and attack games both home and away.

Remember WISE MEN SAY ONLY FOOLS RUSH IN

 

Important player for us, but no player is bigger than SAFC. Seriously, thanks for the goals but we'll get by, We move onwards.

 

Morning.

Glad the other 2 got confirmed. Shame we couldn't get the CM we needed. We are very light there.

 

Surely we have options to overcome any issues.

Triantis, Hume or 09 could do a job on a part-time basis as a holding midfielder, we could go to 3 at the back or even 3241 in a City style formation.

 

We don't have any other CM to play there mate. Not interested in defenders who can do a job. It's wild to me that we just have Ekwah and Neil.

 

A few did move too, obviously Crespo was the main target but Moreton and Buckley might have done a job. M’Villa and Mendy are free agents though!
shame to lose Batth too, personally I think that leaves us slightly light there too albeit a few can play there if necessary.

 

Well O9 was a centre midfielder....I'm sure there's one in the U21 who can step up if needed.

Unfortunately most clubs can't have every position covered with adequate replacements.

 

He was never staying mate never. Seelt will be his replacement.

 

5 centre Half's in the first team squad.

 

Not sure there is another club in the championship going to January with 2 CMs mate.

09 is a centre back now. That's what Tone says anwyay. There is none in the under 21s. They may drop Jobe back if needed but would.ge hard graft whoever is next to him.

 

I think Jobe can be added to that. He’s an 8, not a 10 in my book.

 

I thought Ben Middlemas was highly thought of?

 

I also see Ba as a box to box player in the future.

 

No where close to championship football.

 

Get Yann in man.

 

I mean you can keep mentioning players but none are CM players. It's ok to say we are very light there ya know. Strange one as most games are dictated by who dominates the middle of the park.

 

Ballard, Seelt, Triantis are certainly centre halves, O’Nien can play there and Alese looks better as a left back so far ( and is injured) Pembele means we can consider Huggins as left back cover instead of Alese I suppose. I’m probably still traumatised by the last two seasons centre half injuries!
I also think Johnson is highly rated so we should be alright there really.
CDM the biggest gap I think with Evans( who I doubt will play for us again sadly) and Matete( who I think would have been sold if fit) both injured.

 

Mate if Neil or Ekwah get a knock today I have no idea who plays CM following the international break.

 

Interesting AA data
