Sounds as if the club have started on their transfer targets in private. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport...-to-quadruple-transfer-breakthrough-1-7978383 With the window opening in the next week or two I'm excited to see what we have lined up. Obviously Rafa is playing his cards close to his chest but I'd love to know what positions are being looked at as it could give an indication as to who is off. Anyone got any ideas who they could be?
In his interview he stated that one target was still currently working and will sign once he finishes. So this indicates the player is at the Euro's or Copa America. Which is quite encouraging tbh. I think we will know alot more in a week or so, but i dont expect it to be anyone we have been linked with yet.
Oxford, Tomlin, McCormack, Nano, Isaac hayden, Arbeloa, Caulker, Danny williams. So hopefully It's someone we havent been linked with yet!!!
If you put two and two together you would see the Shields gazette will be up with the local news so that must give you a clue
You're would be very useful I'm, good back up for Laecelles and Mbemba and they could learn a lot from him, certainly a better role model for them than Colo anyway. Would be plausable as he's 35 and unlikely to get a top team offer. Regular goal scorer and attacking midfielder (the Rob Lee/Nolan of this season) still the obvious priority though.
Depends who leaves really? We have a lot of players still at the club who can play there - some will leave yes but who we don't know. Defense is my priority bar Mbemba, Lacselles do any of the rest fill you with confidence? Dummett maybe, Janmatt will boss it if he stay but very doubtful, Colo haha, Haidara - maybe Mbabu - will do a job at We have to, have to, have to go and buy another CB even if no one leaves and if we do have departures they need replacing ASAP.
You're missing out Anita, who looked excellent at full back , and seems likely to stay. This atm the first choice defence is Anita/Laecelles/Mbemba/Janmaat, with Janmaat looking the most likely to leave. If they all stay, we only need back up, and Toure, Haidara, Dummett and Mbabu will be fine for that. Another full back definitely need if Janmaat goes, otherwise only squad players in defence needed and focus on attack.
Wouldn't want Anita as first choice left back. Okay as support at right back but not for me at left back.
