Holmes_and_Watson Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Lots of activity. That we still have to replace a lot of first team minutes from last season, let alone get back to the depth/quality of the team that went down, shows what an overhaul is required. SR doing well with the pennies so far too. If we go 3 at the back, it reads to me as McCarthy KWP, THB, Bednarek, Stephens, Taylor Downes, Smallbone, Aribo AA, Stewart If it's a back 4 McCarthy KWP, THB, Bednarek, Taylor Downes, Smallbone, Aribo AA, Stewart, Edozie Defence: While SR could strengthen anywhere, I could see that being the defence for next season. If KWP leaves, Sugawara steps in, with Bree a more defensive option. Likewise, if Bednarek leaves, we've plenty of backups already bought. It's an improvement on the team that went down, moving to more unproven if Sugawara/Wood come in. Midfield: Downes coming in makes a massive difference. It was Charles before that happened, who needs more development. SR may consider Lallana to add the depth they need across some roles. They may also think an improved Aribo with Alcaraz enough for AMC. But a Stu replacement would be wise, and someone to compete with Downes, if RM doesn't fancy Charles, more of a must. Needs some improvement/ depth compared to a team that went down. That had JWP in it. Smallbone's development, Aribo's return towards his best and Downes arrival all going in the right direction. Attack: Currently missing a Fraser replacement. RM also wanted a Tella replacement, and we got Brooks in. Adams currently being replaced by unproven Stewart. AA might prefer being central, but does lots more from wide, if going 4-3-3. Edozie eeds more development, and Sule further back. Lots of improvement needed to be at level, of the team coming down, and Mo played in that a lot. SF could bring in a whole front 3, giving Edozie room, Stewart competition and giving us more flexibility in formation. The above would also need some departures so we don't have the squad bloat of before, and lower costs. ABK, Sule, Mara and Ounachu most likely, with a number of younger, fringe players possibly off on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not at all convinced we would go with the line-up you have suggested - at least not in the longer term. I personally think it will be more like this: GK: McCarthy or New Keeper Back three: THB, Bednarek, ABK/Edwards Wing-backs: KWP/Sugawara & Taylor CDM: Downes CM: Smallbone AM/wingers: AA & Alcaraz/Edozie - depending on whether he goes for 2 wingers or 2 AMs. CF: Stewart I think Bednarek will keep his place for his experience, with Wood and Stephens as the deputies for him and THB. In terms of purchases, I think there are possibly 3 priorities: Cover for Downes Cover for Smallbone Cover for Stewart Edited July 16 by SaintJackoInHurworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Very pleased about Downes but let's be honest that signing has just about got the squad to a similar level to the one that finished fourth in the Championship conceding 60+ goals. Still a significant amount to do to get us competitive in this division. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Strangely enough ...many of you (above) have selected squads that clearly seem to omit... Adam Lallana. YES... we know he's 36, and was a free transfer and is only on a one year deal (so far), and I'm sure he's on a good salary, but I don't expect to see him cheering the young / new players on from the bench all season, whilst occasionally getting a 10 minute sub. appearance. I think RM is serious about using him as often as possible, and perhaps frequently as a starting player ....at least for 60 minutes, or more. The very idea of simply ignoring him, in favour of newly-signed, and some lower league players with no experience of the Prem. is simply ridiculous. I think I may have hit a few raw nerves there, and I expect a number of specific individuals come back with acidic comments, but common sense says we didn't get him back " for old time's sake" , and we may well see him as a regular for the foreseeable future whilst he can still DAJFU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playing 5 at the back does offer alternative positions for Charly. He is a player who is always looking to try something and look forward, however the inverse to this is that he has a tenancy to give the ball away more than other players. He was most effective when playing just off the front where giving the ball when trying something ambitious isn't such an issue, so I agree with you that playing as part of a front two could work. I'm still not totally convinced by him, but at 21 years old he needs to be given time to evolve in the right position and environment; he certainly has strong potential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Like every saints fan I find the KS situation frustrating. There’s a player in there. He has Mbappe-like acceleration. But that seems to be it so far. Every match I saw him last season he looked like he was playing with weights around his ankles. Our PB tactics basically shackled him and he looked awful. It afflicted SE to a an extent also. RF was the only winger with the ability ( I think it’s mostly football intelligence and maturity) to adapt his game to the way RM wants team to play. He’s not as technically or physically gifted as the other two but was miles more impactful. KS is currently not a starter nor even an impact sub at present. Unless something changes in pre season he is on the For Sale list imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 The point about Charley learning English is well made. In fact it’s make or break for his Saints career. As others have already mentioned he should be extremely willing and able to learn much from AL - but not if there’s no interest on his part in mastering the language sufficiently - which I understand is/was RM’s main point of frustration with him, talent unquestioned.
