Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Okay, fine then! You got me!

It’s not me either.

 

I'll have to confess, it's me. I've been cunningly pretending that I've got hardly any European football knowledge.

 

Hence my exchange with CR17, we don't need two players for each position.... we need flexibility of players being able to play multiple positions. Peps even looking at sliming down his squad, so as not to have too many unhappy players not in the 16, or is it 17, who can get on the field on a Saturday.

 

I'm also not Spartacus

 

strong???

 

Match day 20 next season which helps a touch. Mind, that just means 7 players sitting on the bench getting pissed off about not getting on instead of this seasons 5

 

Goodness me.

 

Does he fit into a 4141? Not sure he feels like a proper 6 or a dynamic 8

 

He doesn’t have a problem with quality of depth though. We do. It needs serious work

 

Yeh better sides can “afford” fewer players and a smaller squad because of the quality of those players being able fill multiple roles at a high level.

we can sign versatile players but they won’t be able to perform those additional roles at such a high level in the way the elite players can. Even someone like Lauriente and Mundle, both of whom “can” play right wing, neither of them are that good there versus their main role on the left.

We of course have to find a balance and not have a massive squad with lots of players unhappy, but at the same time we have to sacrifice and risk a bit of disharmony to ensure we have the right coverage in the squad. It’s a balance we have to find.

 

Anyone shared this?

 

If this was us and it was Copley posting that I can imagine that gutting feeling all Burnley fans have just gotten

 

I’m Kaiser Souze

 

It's happened way too many times.

 

I know what you mean. Hackney has got the skills to be a great 6 but not sure about the defensive ability. Boro were easy to play through if they lost the ball high up.

 

Don't think Hackney massively improves us, see his role being similar to Riggs

Also on the strikers thing, wouldn't be surprised to see us use the 442 that we used at times last season which would require at least two starting strikers and two on the bench which we currently only have 2 really

 

One of made up transfer accounts
Cresswell performance at euros will get massive head hunt by cl teams and top teams

 

He won’t like.

He is quality and a great fit for us and our progression, but he is a long way short of CL clubs at the minute.

We could potentially make bank selling him to one in 2-3 seasons, but he was going to Como, not Inter.

We’ve a great chance at him as he will play here.
