Yeah Clarke and Neil have improved massively. I would rather no more midfielders until 2 or 3 go. Squad is bloody ballooning.
I know, it’s a shame we haven’t really exploited the loan market as well since. Has to be some great young players out there available who’d flourish in a system like ours where we want to dominate the ball and create chances
I’d say we lose 3 in Embo Matete and Ekwah and then get one. There’s a bit of me wants an emerging one but one who is comfortable there. Or could that be Triantis ?
If we can bring in a CDM and CB now we are laughing, I fear they don't see a CDM as a priority though.
But are Browne and Neil together better than Evans and Neil were? They’re both 8s and one is going to have to compensate as a 6, Evans was a natural 6 much better there than the both Neil and Browne from what I’ve seen. Rigg replacing Amad and Poveda replacing Poveda making up that midfield don’t compensate for Neil and Clarke have another season behind them imo.
Poveda The photo is in response to a Sheff Wed fan saying Sheff Wed are in pole position to sign him 18 hours ago. Cheeky wind up basically.
Someone needs to do 606 magic and find a YouTube clip of him doing a rabona and claim he’ll be the best CB in the league (behind Ballard and O’nien obviously) if he joins us
Played 5 times for them 1 goal, England youth international, that’s from Google I’ve never heard of the lad personally, might be one to fill a gap while seelt recovers?
Imagine he'll be starting if we are loaning him mind. Now that we know Ballard is staying we know it's not to replace him, maybe Le Bris just doesn't fancy O'Nien as a CB, although i'd rather not get in that debate because he's actually very good
Wouldnt get into our team. Only had a run in league 2 with Donny I think. Not what's needed. If it's a centre half they want it needs to be of a higher quality. Otherwise just stick with what we have or give AA a run out
I like O’Nien at centre half and think his ability with the ball is really useful coming out of defence but I wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility he could adapt, again, to the CDM role if really needed. He’s basically stepped up to every challenge he’s had.
