This is what I'm getting concerned about Stan.... Similar to last season. In Hughes we trust though. I would imagine everything is very calculated with him.
I think we may need 2 of them but if Naughton is signed, that moves Onuoha to CB which means we could get away with just one. We havent been linked with anyone and i think thats the area we need to upgrade most.
A quality depth of squad is always good to provide formation choices, cover off injuries, red cards etc. Just look at the Man City bench last season. We brought a pitiful squad to some of our early games (e.g. at Wigan) last season. Queens Park Rangers 01 Kenny 05 Hall (Harryman - 61' ) 06 Gabbidon 15 Perone 16 Connolly 04 Derry 07 Taarabt 11 Faurlin 14 Buzsaky (Bothroyd - 72' ) 19 Agyemang 21 Smith (Andrade - 80' ) Substitutes 26 Murphy 40 Harryman 25 Ephraim 36 Andrade 10 Bothroyd 22 Helguson 30 Hewitt
Have to say Swords that the Norwich board took your threads in great spirit, don't really get why they're so precious and touchy on the 'pool board!! I am surprised, but not overly so. I thought it was a fine piece of work, and not too cruel.
That was exactly my thought but he went to Russia on an inflated fee and wages so I dont think its feasable now.
This! This would be the final piece of the Jigsaw for me. Other than Vidic et-al Samba is as good as we could wish for at the present moment in time. I can't think of a better signing in this position. But watch TF and Sparky surprise me.
