BearSmog 1,382 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 More on Bettinelli I've always liked Marcus. He was high on my list when I was at Cardiff but he got in the Fulham team. He's been brilliant and when the opportunity came to get him I couldn't turn it down. I always another top clas keeper this summer. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) He's talking like a man who wants 6-7 bodies, we're basically closing in on 3 signings and he sounds like he wants more than another striker+CB after that... Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The written press will ask him about Sanogo you'd think I can't believe Sky, I guess Downie?, didn't ask about him. Link to post Share on other sites

Tbf anyone can look at our squad and say we have 6 or 7 gaps- it's not insiders knowledge to say that the manager wants these gaps filled, its another question as to whether we can or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 So it sounds like the ITKs have been right when they’ve expected someone to sign - we are getting close but can’t quite push them through. I’m guessing/hoping that there will be some reflection on what’s gone wrong and any lessons we can learn. Link to post Share on other sites

p_mards 1,363 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Warnock's preferred formation is 4-3-3 so signing a very high quality Championship winger like Roberts will bring us closer to being able to play that way. If we signed Roberts, however, we would either have to buy at least another winger or play a current player in an unorthodox role on the other wing like Fletcher, Tavernier, Spence or Coulson. I think Fletcher's physicality and ability to drift infield from the left - which he done well at times under Pulis - would be the best option to adapt without signing another winger. Roberts is capable of some great crosses into the box so him having Assombalonga in the box and Fletcher drifting in at either the back post or in more central areas, gives me hope despite it not being a completely natural balance. That plan B of Fletcher at LW in a 4-3-3 could give Warnock the confidence to take the plunge on signing Roberts and then try to sign another winger. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If we do that we need a left-back, because Johnson is definitely not a left-back. Link to post Share on other sites

From recent memory the only decent windows in terms of getting in who we wanted were the summer when we went up then the summer Monk was here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
