This is based purely on youtube videos mind, so hardly convincing evidence. I think they would enable us to play different formations effectively and would compliment each other well. Probably wont happen mind. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably wont happen mind. Fair enough. From what I know about them (admittedly not a great deal) they are both fairly similar players which made me think the club just wanted one of them. If we did get both we’d surely be selling a CM as well. Link to post Share on other sites

We’re getting closer to the curtain raiser and we’re still in a worse position squad wise than we were last season. 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

We don't know how "close" we were to signing him or even if we were actually after him. It could well be agent talk trying to get Spezia to up their offer! Cheer up KM.

Do we even have scouts in the German leagues? I can’t even remember the last player we got from there? i remember seeing him play for brentford. he was an absolute donkey. terrible back than.

We’re getting closer to the curtain raiser and we’re still in a worse position squad wise than we were last season. I think a positive amidst the 'missed out' targets has been we have coughed up millions of pounds for these guys whether it's Moore/Williams/Goode and if we even just looked at Zoet he'd be costing a million easily and a hefty wage pretty evident Warnock has been given free reign at valuing players and putting in offers. As it stands we haven't sold anyone we still have fan favourites like Spence/Coulson/Tav, we've actually settled on a system and are recruiting for that system and we've stumbled on a way to get Dijksteel and Spence in the team together we really do only need 4-5 players. There's still plenty of time and apparently plenty of money in Warnock's pockets to get quality players in. Add some firepower up front, get a holding midfielder in, commanding GK and probably another CB no reason Warnock can't do good things with that squad. Cardiff had players in their promotion squad that were worse individually than we have but he moulded them into a collective unit that functions he has more firepower in our strikers than he had from Madine/Ward/Zohore we just need an extra couple of options up there so we're stocked up. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If he can get 60+ goals come May and keep the goals conceded down we could be up there in the playoff mix easily, there is some potential in the squad McNair/Saville are quality players who've underperformed and Browne in a central midfield spot looks very comfortable. If we get in 0 bodies or end up signing 3-4 33 year old plodders whose legs have gone I'd get the negativity but we're looking at the right type of players so far, Warnock knows what he's doing I'm honestly not sure our previous 3 managers did. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t lie a few weeks ago I was feeling really bummed out about the upcoming season (I even posted about it). However, the mindset you’ve outlined is one I’ve adopted in the last week or so. Our squad is obviously too thin at the moment but there’s plenty of time to get the bodies in and, as you’ve noted, we don’t need too many now we’ve adapted to 3-5-2. If we can get those positions covered, and I’m honestly fairly confident we will at this stage, then I agree we can be up there next season. I’m just sad that I won’t be there to see the games - that’s my biggest barrier to excitement for next season. Utfb 1 Link to post Share on other sites
