swannymere Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Some of the posts with regards to former players and how they left the club are cringeworthy. They're not your ex-girlfriend they're an asset to the club and they can choose to leave.

Every time I watch O'Hare (admittedly only about 6 times) I see a wonderful little footballer that drifts into pockets of space and links the play beautifully. He has a great first touch and a little like Lallana, controls the ball brilliantly while on the move to enable the attack to flow at pace. You have to have the right formation for him to work, and Cov certainly did. Not sure we do, although we seem to have become a little more fluid in the last month or two. Not sure we are flush with cash, so a free transfer would be a nice pick up. I've only seen Clarke four times and apart from the game when they stuffed us, he has underwhelmed a little to be honest. Good ability, but a little lightweight. Great potential, but not sure he is ready for the Prem next season. Edited May 28 by Chez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 2 hours ago, SNSUN said: The problem we have with Downes is that if we want him, we'll have to wait. Can we afford to go into pre-season with only Charles as a DM whilst we bide our time for Downes (a move which could ultimately not happen if they want to keep him)? Personally I'd be bringing in another DM or CM that can play DM anyway even if the move for Downes proves fruitful long term. Agree. And RM simply didn't trust Charles, and that was in the championship. He was far too lethargic and some of his passing was woeful. He's young, but whether he will improve enough between now and September for RM to trust him against better and more ruthless opponents is debatable. He needs to be loaned out and an upgrade made in that position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamer at Sheff United might be another option if we are looking for that small, technically good link up player to play in the hole. I think he did OK in the Prem. I wonder what his relegation contract clause might look like. I thought you were more of a tried and tested Prem player fan? I guess it's not easy to attract those types as a newly promoted club. We had our chance to go for that type two seasons ago and went City youth team instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in positions like keeper and centre back. I think for a club like us you need an experienced spine and blend in young, hungry, guaranteed to improvers around them. For example we’d been crying out for an experienced centre back for years before our relegation someone to organise the back four but instead of bringing one in we wasted near on £60m on crap like Vestergaard, Hoedt and Salisu hoping one of them would become the new Van Dijk.

JRM Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 2 hours ago, Appy said: Lallana is a sensible signing, probably as a player/coach, from his time under Potter/De Zerbi etc at Brighton he’ll be used to a similar style to us and is a good squad option on not much money, not really arsed with how he left, it was ten years ago, move on. For me he'd be the perfect signing to get "the wall" going, imagine 6000 packed in the Northam end swaying, hands in the air, he plays on the left , he plays on the riiight, Adam Lallana makes Messi look (is Messi retired now?) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Has anyone like Swiss Ramble taken a punt at working out what we could potentially spend this summer?

suewhistle Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 There's a 'latest transfers' thread in the Guardian and good to see THB as an entry, but it's also interesting the released players who are now free agents. I've no idea of the standard of some of them - I noticed Anthony Martial of Manchester United and Wissam Ben Yedder of Monaco - so maybe worth keeping an eye on? As long as we're not paying. At least we haven't got Les Reed around now to insist on paying Monaco £19m for him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvSFC Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I can't back the Lavia or Phillips claims. Lavia's clearly a very good player and in our relegation season we were over reliant on him. However, he was injury prone during that season and since his move to Chelsea his injuries have only gotten worse, missing a whole season. We need someone who can actually step out onto the pitch and is dependable for our first season back. As for Phillips. Pre-Bielsa Phillips wasn't very highly thought of at Leeds, then Bielsa got his hands on him and the rest is history... He had a very good Euros with England also, but since his move to City he has reverted to a bog standard player, like only Bielsa knew how to use him, Guardiola couldn't suss out how to and his loan to West Ham was a horror show. Let Everton pay the expense of his Man City wages as they aren't going to be low as I can't see him being much of a success here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
