If the efl crack down on the boom or bust tactics of the championship, the clubs going up will be far less prepared to take on the big guns in the premier league and 9 times out of 10 will come straight back down again. Add to that the contract clauses scenario and they become far less attractive to play for for new signings as their wages could get cut massively in 12 months time. How do they then compete with established sides? Any reform has to come from the top down, not the other way around. And while the TV money exists as it does for premier league sides, nothing is changing any time soon. Promoted sides rarely survive by changing vast amount of players anyway, I think it just puts more faith in football league and existing players rather than doing a Fulham every few years.

Changing Times 12,219 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This Roberts thing is taking a while. Do you think it's possible that we're trying to sort another deal out as well, before announcing them both? Link to post Share on other sites

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Lmao as if someone reported you, CT! What's the delay on Roberts? He's obviously at Rockliffe as we speak given the photo posted earlier. Link to post Share on other sites

Could just be all of the medical stuff of course. Link to post Share on other sites

We have done it for years Kind of disagree about Dijksteel I mean he was a failing DM before bowyer tried him at rb where he was a revelation for them and a similar thing has happened here. He’s basically playing a hybrid of the 2 roles in the right of a 3 cb role do not in a totally alien position to him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We have done it for years Dijksteel is a RCB in a 3, he's not a CB in the sense that you'd whack him in a back 4 and be happy with it. He's a CDM that got moved to RB due to his athleticism and has about one full season of experience there too, so it could be argued that he doesn't necessarily have his best position nailed down yet. As mentioned by @LinoJo3 the RCB probably actually suits him because it's the blend of DM and RB. Link to post Share on other sites

"Bielsa has often converted midfielders into versatile defenders, and a prime example of this was the 2010 World Cup. He used Waldo Ponce as a dominant central defender and slotted two quick defensive-minded midfielders either side of him in Gonzalo Jara and Gary Medel." Link to post Share on other sites
2plus2 290 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) So, Roberts. Not done yet? +1? Any rumours? Not that I think we should be busting a nut to bring in a ton, but all v quiet this evening for transfer deadline day... Are the club just better at keeping it under wraps? Or is our business done? ITK's... Where you all hiding? Link to post Share on other sites
