macapes 1,886 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 8 minutes ago, Humpty said: The Gazette make a good point today. If our most effective systems is wing back orientated, why haven’t we been recruiting specialist wing backs and why is Djed Spence available for transfer? I’m not his biggest fan by a long stretch but RWB suits his attributes down to the ground. Begs the question are we putting up with a wing back solution until we recruit players more suited to a 433? Seems like we’re no where near ready for next season. Similar question was posed the other night, when we set up with a wing back system but didn't play Spence or Coulson, both of whom have their shortcomings but would appear to be our only actual wing backs. Turned out Coulson was injured, but if we line up with Tav as LWB we know something is wrong. We've not got the players for wing backs, or Warnock doesn't like our wing backs, so why are we running with a system that needs them at all? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

You may be asking yourself why that is relevant, and to that I say the Portuguese journalist reporting on this yesterday stated that Muniz' agent was Spanish/based in Spain.

Would seem an odd person to have an inside track on this transfer. Link to post Share on other sites

Cause I personally think he does like Bola & Dijksteel as wingbacks, only one is still recovering from surgery and the other isn't actually very good at wing back. Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,385 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Suppose it's just a wait and see Re: Muniz. Clearly up against it so not gonna be too downhearted if it doesn't come off. Link to post Share on other sites

Neither of them spring to mind when I think of wing backs, which probably says something about the style of wing back Warnock might want, I guess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a positive step for me crooks 7 -3 Ikpeazu 6 -4 Ameobi 3 -2 Payero 2 - 9 (last proper season) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I do think Dijksteel has been sold a bit short by what he was asked to do in the game yesterday. I thought he was decent going forward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Surely we are best 4141 with an anchor (morsey) and then two drivers tav and Payero and then two proper wingers. I’ve been quite surprised to see Djikesteel omitted from quite a few “best xi” …along with Dael Fry I think he has the greatest potential in this squad. I agree with you at right centre half there aren’t many better at this level. I’d like to see a bit more of him in a back 2 to see how he gets on but Djikesteel starts for me whether it’s a back 3 or a back 4. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I'd be very surprised if that journalist had a clue, so I'll not get my hopes up. Link to post Share on other sites
RichAcklam2404 928 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Could it be possible that he knows about the Akpom to Besiktas deal, maybe that’s going ahead as he’s been told Muniz is coming here? It’s plausible. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
