Summer '24 transfer window

Once we get into the three games in a week, we'll start to see a fair bit of rotation

 

I'm more than happy sitting back and enjoying. I just feel kld will want the club planning for the future, from the bottom up

 

With 43 games to go of 90 minutes high pressing and 5 possible subs then we need more first team ready players, especially midfield and attack.

 

That would be Ekwah and AA

 

I see us as playing with two "holding" midfielders, not just one. As we defend in the 4-4-2. We need both of them to be comfortable playing as "8s" as well as "6s". We then have a third central midfielder who is more attacking in the "10" and moves into the up front 2 when defending.

I see our options as being Neil, Samed, Browne, Rigg and Jobe as the "8s" and Rigg and Jobe as the "10s".

It looks stacked, and it is. But it means we always have options of the bench who are good enough to start. Thats what you need to have a good season.

 

Surely if he’s better than Neil he plays though?

 

Don't know if I am on my own here but I still want Mendy (along with Simic) as he brings a lot of experience with him, in addition to the attributes I liked on the YouTube videos - finishing, hold up play etc.
We don't know what exactly has gone on with him and Caen but I like his desire to come here and not use the current situation to go for Saudi money or have his head turned by the Mbappe takeover and use it for a better contract.

 

Like I’ve said previously - you need quality strength in depth if you’re after promotion.

 

there’s the young Serbian btw

 

This was the game I watched. I just remembered him being everywhere.

 

Absolutely

5 games in October
6 games in November
6 games in December

 

Agreed, the drop off from our starters to back ups in some positions is massive, all for having a bench full of lads that could/should be starting

 

Wow big fee for the young lad. Must be highly rated.

 

Should always be the class regardless of who it is, if he comes in and performs better then he starts

The same in every position

 

Presume he’d join the 21s at first.

 

there is the serb

 

Canny fee that mind he must be very highly thought of

 

I’ve already said this keep up cam god

 

aye - big money for under 21s that.

 

Wasn't expecting our first two players linked today to both be central midfielders
