I just think I’d rather keep Cirkin for continuity. Bard probably a better player but having two new left backs just feels odd. Maybe I just need time to get used to it
I don’t want Cirkin replaced. I want him to learn from Reineldo and improve into one of the leagues best, which I am certain he’s capable of being. I want a new deal done, Melvin is a **** name he can stay in Nice. ****ing Melvin.
I said this to my sons last season, that he managed to get us competitive despite not having the players at his disposal to play the style of play he really wanted to.
Right I’m going to bed. Wish list for tomorrow: Reinildo confirmation New credible link to a right winger Cresswell more closely linked in press Petrovic progression
Ofc I wouldn't Sadiki in the little I've seen doesn't look like a RWB and two full backs in CB is no for me I also don't see us going 5 at back as a main formation more used in closing minutes like last season Didn't RLB only use it at the very end of the Lorient spell to try and save them which failed
The recruitment team see things in the data that suggest he can perform there at a high level, RLBs prefered formation is three centre backs with non-traditional wingbacks and unique interplay between the wingbacks, midfield and forward.
Reinaldo isn't strictly a LB either, he has played a lot at left centre back and has some great stats in that position.
Hey I mean hes improved as a player since he last had to play there at 18/19 but i'd be surprised nonetheless. Any reason other than Regis last job that suggests to you he wants to play a back 5 again?
