Agents fees, bonuses, running costs, non playing staff costs, new red bits round the pitch, new signs outside the main entrance. We are the ONLY Club that has to pay these additional costs, which is why also being the only club to make a profit from transfers in the last 5 years winning the Net spend trophy 4 years in a row, we are also the only club that cant buy anyone with selling first.

Baird of the land Posted 30 January, 2019 Share Posted 30 January, 2019 Say we get a good attacker/winger. Do you think we'd suddenly play 343 or 433? I'm not sure if we're being defensive due to personnel or intent. I really hope it's the former. Bertrand, Yoshi, Lemina and a decent forward added to this team makes the world of difference. I think we’ll largely stick with 343 this season due to defensive frailties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint lard Posted 30 January, 2019 Share Posted 30 January, 2019 Ralph just said.....we have a couple of options to come in,very difficult in the winter months to bring in players....if not,we wait until the summer.

I'm not sure if we're being defensive due to personnel or intent. I really hope it's the former. Bertrand, Yoshi, Lemina and a decent forward added to this team makes the world of difference. It's clearly personnel, in terms of the centre backs and full backs. Vestergaard is too slow to play in a 4 without being exposed, Stephens also not strong and focused enough. Valery and Targett can also be shaky without the extra insurance of the extra CB behind them. Even with another better attacker, I think Ralph would probably still stick with the 3 at the back until he is able to get a stronger CB and RB in.

Block 5 Posted 30 January, 2019 Share Posted 30 January, 2019 open top is my preference. Perhaps an old Leyland Titon rather than some modern design.That's quite a leftfield choice Chez. I glad you shied away from the AEC RT or RM options, way too obvious! An Olympian or an Atlantean would be viable alternatives to your Titan. However, I'd plump for a Bristol; either a VR or preferably a Lodekka. Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 Well Bertrand has been back in training for 2weeks.....nowhere near the squad and a saleable asset. Wouldn’t surprise me at all. Either way...we are playing s game of Russian roulette with the outgoings,and feasibly not having any incomings in blatantly lightweight areas. We may have differing opinions on the out going players importance to the squad,but we would be decisively weaker. And all for a fairly insignificant financial saving compared to relegation.

Saint Pete Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 But do the team want him back?What's that supposed to mean? The club aren't going to try the whole "he's a toxic disruptive influence" rumour thing again to justify yet another sale of a top player with no adequate replacement are they?

Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 Tyler Adams signed and Arsenal’s Rowe who’s having a medical on Thursday with RB Leipzig push Jean-Kevin Augustin further down the pecking order.

GarrettIvo Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 My guess is we will AT BEST get one in on a loan. Whether that's up front or down back who the hell knows. Can't see the Bertrand thing being true, as it would have been out there in the media by now for sure. But who the hell knows anymore. #InRalphWeTrust?

DT Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 Bertrand off is very believable. Probably been told he won’t skipper and is a bit billy big boots.

Pilchards Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 When you think about our two full backs, they really play as wingers. IMHO Taggart and Valery are not great wingers but Valery is improving for sure. Maybe we have no position for Bertrand anymore because of the way RH likes to set the team up? If Taggart did get injured then he would either use Johnson (massive gamble) or what he did when Valery went off but to the left flank instead.
