Saint Charlie Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 Adkins has said in a few interviews now we will see one or two more players in. Assuming one is a central defender (Jemal maybe) then hopefully the other will be a striker who runs in behind. I feel this would then give us a great squad to do pretty well in the Championship. He said he would strengthen he spine of the team which would indicate a striker as the last signing, plus we can obviously supplement with loans of needed. If we cover those two bases then IMO the weakest areas we would have are full back and GK, both of which are still more than good enough for this league. Its looking good....if the two new boys are as good as the two brought in so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 (edited) He did say one or two, but that was before de ridder. Dont be suprised if thats it for the start of the season. Actually in his latest interview he mentions "one or two". This is definitely after De Ridder signed as he is asked about how he's settling in.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 We just need a top CB to partner Fonte - that's all and we've got a fantastic squad that can make a big impression on the NPC.

Saintandy666 Posted 27 July, 2011 Share Posted 27 July, 2011 I concur. A centre back is a must. And then perhaps a centre forward, though that is less pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A well assembled squad with a strong team spirit and good understanding between each other can be more than enough to open up and beat other teams who on paper can appear to look stronger. I'm really looking forward to see how we mix it up against the other Clubs expected to be in the top six this season. I'm hoping we can be one of them but will wait until we settle into the season before making a prediction as to where I think we'll finish.

That's a done deal IMHO, work permit permitting. Seems like the Jemal deal is done and dusted really. For Adkins to be so sure that someone is definitely arriving but not being able to announce anything must mean it's a bureaucratic delay rather than a problem agreeing a fee or convincing a player to get on the bus.

Minty Posted 28 July, 2011 Share Posted 28 July, 2011 Adkins apparently stated on Solent this morning that two more should arrive before Leeds. Add that to the two we already have, that makes 4 (I know, my maths is **** hot isn't it?) Analysing the exact timings of signings is, IMO, petty and pointless. Adkins said he wanted to make some additions, he is doing so, and I believe he has earned my trust, so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 28 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 28 July, 2011 Yeah - and the apparant quality of the two so far shows they are targetting the right players - who are as good or better than our existing best players!

We could field two teams that from our squad that would be more than capable at this level. We have a lot more depth than we have had in recent years. Not to mention the signing two brilliant additions and the possibility of two more(I assume a CB and ST). There may have been numerous reasons why we didn't sign players instantly. First choice or not, I'll judge by the quality not when the arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 28 July, 2011 Share Posted 28 July, 2011 Dalek, do you just expect us to just buy players for the sake of buying them, as someone else said, if you wanted this go and support Leicester...or just go follow Hoddle with whatever he is doing now. Yawn, Try looking on the bright side for once and thinking that we have a superb young group of players who are hungry for success and we have a good vibe throughout the whole squad! Anything is possible. I'd rather we signed 2/3 good players who will improve the group but fit in, than 15 new players and then just throw them together.

I don't care if don't go up - I just want this squad gell, develop a strong team spirit and stay together. Slowly, slowly catch the monkey. (; The gelling argument is all well and good. But what happens if we have a decent season, and narrowly miss out on going up? Our players are in the shop window, so some Premier league teams come sniffing around the likes of Chamberlain, Lallana, Fonte etc etc. Those are key players for us, and if we lose just one or two of them then it really affects the team harmonic. Assuming we'll keep all of them if we don't go up is perhaps unrealistic. of course, we'd likely replace them, but then that negates the whole "gelling" argument.
