Wonder if that's who RM had in mind for the role? Have to say they are playing a blinder. a creative winger (maybe THAT one) and it's a 9/10 window (assuming Stewart signs) No chance. Another striker needed on top for certain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good business, especially as we're not committed to buying THB if we don't go up, and still have ABK at our disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 Welcome THB! So squad summery and movement on deadline day, does it look something like this - GK: Fine, we probably need to ship out McCarthy but I think he stays. If he went we'd need to source a 3rd keeper and I think we have too much going on in other positions. RB: PLEASE KEEP KWP!!! Him with Bree as back up will be fine. We've been looking at RBs though I wonder if we're trying to ship Bree out rather than KWP. I will keep everything crossed tonight that KWP stays. LB: Manning, Larios and Meghoma. Fine. Can't see any movement there. CB: Bednarek, Stephens, THB and Holgate. Should be enough with Charles as 5th choice. Bednarek goes? We need another. I can't see it but you never know. ABK to go. CM: Charles, Downes, Smallbone, Armstrong, Doyle, Alcaraz. I think we're done here. AM/Wing: SAA, Edozie, Fraser, Aribo, Djenepo, Sulemana. We've said we want to replace Tella. Aribo and Djenepo surplus to requirements? Roberts in? Sulemana out? Striker: Well fuck me if this needs work today. AA, Adams, Onuachu, Mara, Ballard as it stands. Adams, Mara, Onuachu and Ballard could all go today leaving us with AA. Stewart in. SURELY we need a third striker. I'm really surprised we seem to be loaning Ballard out. Risky IMO. If we go into the meat of this season with AA and Stewart as our only two strikers we are in big trouble. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen. AA is not a striker (though he'll get a few) and Stewart's fitness is questionable. In SFC we trust! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WALK DMC Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 8 minutes ago, Dman said: it has to be 2 strikers. We cannot go into the season with 1 striker who has a questionable injury record and wont be fit for a month. and no, AA cannot play through the middle, we've seen that more than enough times Against QPR & Sheff W, Adam Armstrong played up front and he made no impression on the game. When he played behind his performance improved enormously. However, when he scored 28 goals for Blackburn in the Championship he played up front, so I wouldn't (yet) dismiss his ability to play there. I certainly don't think that it works when the opponents play a low block which neutralises his pace and lack of physical presence. It may yet work in games where the opposition have more of the ball and leave more space at the back (i.e. against better teams, away from home). I'm not convinced, but think that it could still work on a selective basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too dissimilar to how he's been playing here. Personally, I think at this level, he's absolutely brilliant in the deeper role and starts ahead of Alcaraz for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't let his contract run down to give him away next year, nobody will pay us what we want in the way that we want to be paid, he won't commit to a new deal and stay here playing, and why on earth would we sign him up to potentially be stuck with him when we're in the PL? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyNumber7 Posted 1 September, 2023 Share Posted 1 September, 2023 Really happy with the THB signing, although I can't see any mention on the website of this obligation to buy people are talking about? The only things I'm really nervous about today are losing KWP and being left short up front. All window I've been sure we'd lose KWP so it would be brilliant if he stays, but if he does go he needs replacing. If we are losing Che and possibly Mara/Ballard/Tall Paul as well then we need another addition on top of Stewart. Get these two positions sorted and I think we'll have had an excellent window.
