We wait intil a few days before our first game and sell potentially our best player. even if we waited until then we odds on wouldnt be playing him anyways if it was a cert he was leaving to avoid risk of injury and the offer going away Link to post Share on other sites

It's a risky strategy, but that's what's needed if you want to get fringe Premier League players Link to post Share on other sites

Smogzilla 7,385 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 So I went and grabbed the Alex crook chat from earlier and it's not how it was presented at all on twitter IMO. Speculating that Wilder must be frustrated that we haven't reinvested the 25 mil yet....despite the fact one player hasn't even been sold yet. How insightful 🙃 Crooks wilder.m4a 12 Link to post Share on other sites

He is far, far better at passing than Tav, more composure on the ball, and better off the ball movement. Tavernier is good for his work rate and athleticism. In terms of technical ability, composure, he is replaceable. 5g 5a last year. George Saville got 6g 4a in his last season for us, just for comparison, and I don't think anyone would suggest we are missing him. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I would sign Callum Styles as backup to McGree and Giles. He can play both LWB and LCM. He'd be available relatively cheap given Barnsley have been relegated. Burrows at Peterborough to would be a good backup to Giles. Bola can be backup to whoever we bring in LCB, fingers crossed it's Greaves. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I think we need an extra midfielder even if Boyd munce is going to play as backup to mcgree on left. Howson needs cover, currently paddy would probably cover him. Crooks doesn't have cover either, after how knackered he looked last few months of season. We can't play him every game when the 3 games a week start. I think we'll bring in another midfielder possibly starter in either dcm or rcm. If it's dcm howson can rotate with crooks spot to. I think we can get away with signing one more midfielder and another 2 strikers and be challenging for top two. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 A long time ago on this thread, I recall someone pondering whether or not we'd sign a striker before got to page 1,000. It ended up being 1,340 😱 1 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Smokedsalmon 1,247 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Provided Akpom goes, this is about what we're working with at the moment. One more striker (Hoppe), a left-sided CB, and a CM and we're about sorted. I don't think we will come top 2, but play-offs you would think is almost a certainty with that team. I don't think it's the PANIC STATIONS position some people are making it out to be. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
