Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Whats the crack with getting a lb/lm anyway? I mean i know any improvement is a good thing, but surely there are other positions in more need of improvement.. Id say Fox and Lallana would cope perfectly well in the prem. Why not get a rb/rm player?

 

No back up at all?

 

I assume you mean for Lallana? If hes primarily a lb who has been known to play lm sometimes isnt he identical to fox..?

 

Lallana will probably move centrally and it makes sense to have someone else on the left.

 

For me the fact that we have no idea who the club is looking at for the teo most needed positions is a positive thing. We all know that we need a keeper and a CB yet nothing much is being heard other than the odd rumour. NC might just be laughing to himself at some of the reported sources and rumours as he tries to seal some different contracts.

 

Rodriguez can play on the left too, But i think The LBs we have aren't gonna be abler to cope wiht the premier league and i can see Fox being the back up

 

If that is the case then fine, as long as reinforcing areas that are in more dire need of reinforcing isnt jeopardised as a result

 

Another good point, but id suggest that Fox/Harding are going to cope alot better than Richardson/Butterfield...

 

I think it's fair to say the management infrastructure of one of the top 20 teams in the entire country can be trusted to not neglect areas of dire need. They're not a bunch of idiots playing Football Manager, they're a professional management system.

 

I never said they arent. Im sure there is very good reasoning behind all their moves. Doesnt mean people on a forum cant discuss them.

 

Buttner was always a winger, he's a converted full-back now.

Maybe NA can see him playing on the right hand side? With him and Lallana alternating flanks?

 

Or Lallana on the right so he doesn't have to cut in all the time.

 

Perhaps him on the right and lallana on the left cutting in from the wings onto their stronger foot in a deadly spain style 4-3-3

 

Richardson is better then Harding. Butterfield may just edge it aswell.

 

Why is everyone writing off Richardson? He was brilliant last year.

 

Well i do agree with this, As they seem to have more pace and age on their sides, But we still have 3 months basically of the transfer window.. and i'm sure NC Will bring in a very good and confident RB.. Have faith!!

 

Or 4-2-3-1
Buttner as a flying left back and Lallana as one of the three.

 

Most definitely, but i dont think they match Fox, and despite being fantastic last year im not sure they would have the pace to keep up with the Nani's, Aguero's etc

 

I'm not, I'm righting off Harding

 

Well, that's fair
