Midfield_General Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I wonder if this is essentially the squad for the season now then (with players in brackets unlikely to stay/ be available). If Onuachu, Sulemana, ABK and Manning can be shipped out over the course of tomorrow, maybe there's still room for a more traditional centre-forward type, possibly that Gift fella or someone like him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've set up this squad with two sitting midfielders. In my experience, home and away, since he arrived, RM has never fielded a team with two sitting midfielders.

Yeah I know, I'm not saying that we'll play 4-2-1-3, it's more just meant to be a rough sketch of the general areas of the pitch that these players tend to play in. Obviously many of them are interchangeable and can play different positions, we'll play different formations etc. Just trying to illustrate it in terms of the general 'at least two players for every position' rule, to see if there's anywhere that we obviously still look too weak.

Chez Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Thought Cornet was someone we should have gone for when Burnley went down, but we didn't have the funds. Not worked out at West Ham, which is a worry, but players coming in from abroad often take a while to settle, so he might at least hit the ground running...which is what we need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you move BBD out the left where he has played and Onuachu and Stewart actually depart (as your spreadsheet suggests) then the CF position is the `weak spot'.

Was flavour of the month above SAA for a bit but certainly not now. Remind me what happened. He thought he'd get first team games last season, didn't, and therefore wants to move to get game time now rather than in two years time. I think the words "unlikely to sign a new contract" were bandied around, so maybe we will try to see rather than pick up the compensation, which won't be huge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfield_General Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Just now, Chez said: If you move BBD out the left where he has played and Onuachu and Stewart actually depart (as your spreadsheet suggests) then the CF position is the `weak spot'. Yup, agree. But bringing in Cornet who likes to play on the left makes me wonder if the longer term plan is to use BBD more centrally when we need to or if Archer doesn't work out. I hope so, because BBD doesn't look like a winger to me and Armstrong has never worked down the middle. Still feeling greedy and hoping for a deadline day centre-forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 8 minutes ago, Patches O Houlihan said: I agree. Here's a screen shot of the post Decent player. Plenty of games under his belt.

SfcPhil Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Just now, gio1saints said: If we get Cornet I think Sam Edozie will get loaned out. I for one hope he does. He needs a confidence building loan to the Championship, in a side where he can play week in week out. I haven't given up on him, he just needs to fine tune his decision making. He often does the hard part by beating his man and completely snatches at the shot/cross. Like Shea Charles, he's not ready for the Premier League yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
