austsaint Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 Hughes Presser.... Was a typical last day of window, deal drifted away previously then came back to us we thought that it would not get done but all fell into place and we are delighted very pleased with our window, we have strengthened every area of the pitch Ings is on loan initially, it was why the negotiation took so long both clubs had to be comfortable with the deal, win/win for both clubs Danny wanted to come here and he has a point to prove as manager, kept away from the mechanics of signing a player I have the final say on players that get presented and it has worked very well this window I have to give the final nod and every player presented were good enough to play for us met Danny last night, the staff were in for meetings, including Mr Gao. Danny met everyone Danny said from the off that he feels part of this club and really wanted to join Danny is fit and available to play. we will see how he trains. He has had a good pre season already We had to improve goal scoring. We have brought in Armstrong, Mo is going to be a real talent Ings will complement what we have we are in a better position now, definitely Now the window is shut, all clubs know pretty much what they have. Obviously, there will be some outgoings on loan perhaps. 2-3 weeks of nonsense has now gone Cedric has been back since monday. He was ill last week. He is fit, played at the world cup, he will play we feel if he is ready and he is honest about his recovery everyone else is fully fit and ready to play there we go. Great summary Bat........I haven't enjoyed pressers as much since Koeman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 Great summary Bat........I haven't enjoyed pressers as much since Koeman. That's true. Puel's were awful, his English wasn't good enough. I admire him for the effort and determination but he should've used an interpreter. If you listen to him now, he's much more fluent. Pellegrino just spoke utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 We have to go to 4 at the back - we can't seem to get it right with 3 at the back - and a defensive midfielder to shield them. I 'd pick the following as the starting 11: --------------------------- McCarthy ---------------------------- Stephens -------- Vestergaard -------- Yoshida --------- Bertrand ----------------------------- Romeu ------------------------------ -------------- Hojberg-------------------- Armstrong ------------ ------ Gabbiadini ----------- Austin ------------ Elyounoussi --- but bring Ings, JWP and Targett on at some point.

100%Red&White Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 If we do persevere with a 3 hope it includes Yoshida, Vestergard and Bertrand with Cedric and Targett wingbacks. His best spell for us was while playing there a couple of years ago with Bertrand behind him left side of the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 Ing strikes me as more of a Gabbi type guy than Austin, I guess we'll see. Anyway, I found it interesting that Hughes said he has 4 quality strikers now all with different skillsets to offer in his presser. I guess hes already pushing out Gallagher. I would have like to see him get a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 That’s because we had Fonte and Van Dijk too.

doddisalegend Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 Games like this the first goal is the killer. Burnley score first and they'll tighten up more than a Nuns lady parts and we will spend the rest of the game trying to break down a well drilled mean defence of 10 men. If we can score early then they will have to try and play a bit and give us some chances. Hopefully it wont be a repeat of last seasons sucker punch.

Sheaf Saint Posted 10 August, 2018 Share Posted 10 August, 2018 But it takes away one of our best attacking threats in Bertrand, it won’t happen. It would also probably p!ss off three senior CBs knowing that a LB was being picked ahead of them. I thought Bednarek looked OK in a 3 towards the end of last season and he provided a goal threat from set pieces as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza82 Posted 10 August, 2018 Author Share Posted 10 August, 2018 Do u think we will Start both Cedric and Yoshida given that neither have had a pre season and could be a gamble, I think we need both to start but in this case would just start Cedric for balance Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC-TID! Posted 11 August, 2018 Share Posted 11 August, 2018 Think Long will at very least be on the bench, Hughes really likes him. Ings will be involved somehow. Heard Cedric wasn’t ill. He was lined up to move to a so called big club but it all fell through. He’s back and a bit sheepish. Could an official ITK confirm that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patred44 Posted 11 August, 2018 Share Posted 11 August, 2018 I have been impressed by JWP more than Redmond this preseason. He seems a little stronger physically, and a bit quicker.
