If Clarke goes would we sign a new winger? Is this part of the thinking behind Isidor signing cos he can play and score from LW? Our front 3 could be Isidor, Simic and Roberts. Then if Simic isn't available for whatever reason you could just move Isidor central and play Mundle LW, or a straight swap with Mayenda depending on the opposition/form. This would then give Watson and Ba more opportunities from the bench as currently I don't see how they get in with Clare/Mundle and Roberts/Poveda for each wing.
Romano sniffing around Roko leaving. No mention of us yet. Just la liga and serie A sides Edit: old tweet of his
We certainly have plenty of options and, of course, Roberts is a left footed winger if we need someone there.. And there's still the PL loan I was promised by an RTG who knows stuff but doesn't post it after all the flak he took. It was supposed to be a striker but, with the emergence of Mayenda, and the signings, that may have changed. No idea who we could drop though, so guaranteeing game time wouldn't be possible imo.
I'd like to think he was on our radar and when the Mendy deal went a little difficult,we activated it. No idea mind...just my guess....kind of fits in with the way I think we're being run.
I was under the impression one loan one permanent I think they’ll be buzzing with these two rather than a prem loan
It just shows how quickly perceptions can change doesn't it. Before the Sheff Wed game we'd have swapped a vital organ for a PL striker loan. Now, if Mayenda scores against Burnley, he's suddenly undroppable ... ... even if it's a tap in, or a deflection, people will have to accept it's his shirt and innocent until proven guilty
Sounds like our centre forwards last year where it seemed our game plan was to give it to Clarke ASAP and hope he created something. RLB seems to have other options in his game plan
Think a 25m package and he'll be off, though Sander Berge has just gone for £20m and he is not better than Clarke.
