GrimsbyBoro 1,956 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 This is probably one of the biggest rebuilds I can remember. The squad is so unbelievably poor across the board. I have reservations about the keepers, the entire back four is in need of a revamp perhaps Fry and Spence to stay. We really have to creativity or goals in midfield and desperately short upfront. Its either a nightmare or a dream opportunity for a manger. I fear with the funds we will have and our recruitment of late that we won't be able to replace the cross we have.

Clubs all across Europe will be trying to shed wages and let people go for under market value fees. Players who would have been offered new contracts 6 months ago will now be free agents. If we pick our moves right we could make a team that can challenge at the right end of the table. Do I have faith that we will do that? Absolutely not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 we3 need a full rebuild in defense id only keep spence wood and shotton as squad fillers maybe cash inon fry and pears, ayala looks to have played his last game anyway , the rest arent fit for purpose. weve no good keepers at alll either. midfield id onlly want to keep howson ,tav and coulson and id bin all our forwards except fletcher. so possibly up to 12 signings required plus 3 or 4 loansand thats not even going into the coaching, management and technicaland scouting areas.

There will be plenty of free agents this summer but also a lot of clubs looking at these players. I think it will level out and still come down to who offers the best package. This is football and it never reacts as you would expect I think transfer fees will drop but wages won't. Where there us probably an opportunity is looking at youngsters released from premier clubs but we seem to have the moneyball equation in reverse. Even with the likes of Gox available in hold out little hope. Link to post Share on other sites

I said the other day that he reminds me of Mejias in a way. Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Every single summer is a massive rebuild for this club at the moment. As long as we stay in the championship I'm happy. Link to post Share on other sites

What basics are you on about? I think it takes a lot longer to adapt from the Austrian league to the championship playing in a *** team and having trained under a manager for 6 months who shouldn’t manage a football team. There is no way he can put much trust in a defence containing Friend and Johnson. Do you honestly think Woodgate and his staff trained defensive shape with the defenders and keeper? It’s not like De Gea was an instant hit. It takes a lot longer than you think to adapt. Writing off a keeper after 4-5 games in a new league is crazy. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I remember the United fans slagging De gea off in the beginning too. From what I've seen Stojanovic isn't that bad, his kicking is good, OK I think he could of done better on the free kick (which Friend should of headed) but other than that I don't think he has done that badly IMO.

Ayresome7 187 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I was told pre-Warnock we have an agreement in place with Sunderland for Lynden Gooch but it is dependent on if we stay in the Championship. We are also looking at Ruel Sotiriou but there is interest from Peterborough who seem to have a great track record of developing lower league talent then selling on for a profit with sell on for financial survival. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
