It's clear we have been in discussions about various Players but either they don't want to come or their Club have put a ludicrous fee on them or it may happen but their current Club won't release them just yet. None of that is the fault of the Recruitment Team, the alternative is just to out and put bums on the bench for the sake of it which it appears is close to what happened in January if Wilder is to be believed. We can't force Fulham or Southampton to sell or loan us a Player that they aren't ready to release just yet. If you're targeting players that don't want to or can't come, I think you can blame the recruitment team if they focus on them and they're then not signed. As mentioned by another poster recently, Scott made a big deal about this being a brilliant summer window for free agents, we've only signed one outfield player on a free, about 80% of our signings and links have been PL loanees. It's not a vacuum, and obviously other clubs are in competition for the signings, but there being outside circumstances for transfer failings doesn't stop them being failings. Things may well look a lot better on the 2nd of September, but I am certain that what's currently happening was not the plan going in to this summer window. We'll be behind schedule.

I watched the Marseille stream and saw a player who was played in an advanced role but still managed to drop in the number 6 position at different times to set up play so hardly someone not getting involved enough in the game. I've seen him play some great passes in the preseason highlights so far, I'm not saying that he can't improve further but you definitely are not giving him credit for the ability that he has. He will do whatever is asked by the manager and is an intelligent footballer although you obviously can't see it. I didn't watch the whole Marseille game and I don't pay much attention to how players perform in friendlies. I watched him last season enough while he was in the team to see that he doesn't cover the pitch or defend well enough in the defensive 3rd to be able to replace tavernier if we play as we were playing last season. Yeh hes decent on the ball im not saying he's poor he's quite a clever footballer and technically sound. Looking at him I'd say 10 would he his best position. We either need to buy a more solid and mobile DM or mcgree is going to need to change his game and become a much better defensive player otherwise we are going to get exposed too often down the left imo in which case his attacking output would most likely drop as a result. On the other hand wilder could instruct the LCB not to get as far forward and while Fry is there maybe this might happen and mcgree will hopefully benefit we would have to see how we set up on Saturday. If mcnair goes back in to LCB I'd be concerned about us defensively with mcgree mcnair and Giles as unit on the left hand side. Link to post Share on other sites

If we want 4 strikers it could end up being Muniz, Forss, Hoppee, and then an attempt for a bigger name later in the window (Armstrong or equivalent) Link to post Share on other sites
