For me I'd say: Out: Shotton, Gestede & Saville In: Use Coulson at LB with Friend as cover New RB with Howson as cover New ball to feet CB to play alongside Fry with Ayala as cover 2 pacey wingers right & left. IMO the defensive options are realistically achievable and possibly 1 wide player with the time/funds available and obviously dependent on others leaving. I don't think we can afford to sell any of those players to be honest, we're very thin on the ground as it is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes agree liklihood of them actually being sold is low was just saying who would people like to see leave. I'd say with my earlier list that's a squad of 21 ish so yes can be a couple short: GK: Randolph, Mejas, (Pears) Defenders: Friend, Ayala, Fry, (Coulson), (Reading), (Spence), New RB, New CB Midfield: Clayton, Howson, McNair, Johnson, Wing, Tav, New LW, New RW Strikers: Fletcher, Britt Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 very happy with the players weve moved on thus far . i accept its not going to be a quick fix regarding getting the quantity and quality of additions and realistically it may take 3 years or thereabouts to reorganise in that department, in the meantime and just taking this coming season in mind id be delighted if we could shift Gestede, hopefully bring in two defenders that are comfortable ball players ,one right sided the other central , and we need two players that can be a direct supply line to the attack whether they be actual wingers or AM . at least two would have to be loans for the time being i would imagine. SO i believe were 4 players short currently if no one of major importance leaves in the next two weeks, Posibly we may be ok with 3 if Tav,Wing or McNair can operate further forward than last year Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Braithwaite, Marc Navarro and Roberto Rosales are already in Tangier with the rest of their new partners. They have flown this morning from Madrid. The normal thing is that the @CDLeganes Make your signing official in a matter of a few hours. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Foogle 2,104 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Well he would've played a few games with Fry at CB for the U21s? So that might have helped him settle in, haven't really seen him play so couldn't really comment. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 All I know of him is he got sent off for a red card tackle on Traore, I think it might have been immediately after coming on as a sub, in the 3-3 game at the Stadium of Light over a year ago. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I’m not sure we are after another CB, other positions are more of a priority. Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn’t say a priority, but we do need one imo. Ayala or Fry get injured and we are playing Friend/Shotton there. Link to post Share on other sites

You might not have seen these quotes from Woodgate, from the Gazette after Flint left: Quote The versatility of both Shotton and Friend will be useful for Woodgate this season, who also has youngsters such as Sam Stubbs and Nathan Wood knocking on the door as he assesses his options at the heart of the defence. It is, however, an area he wants to strengthen. "We'll get a replacement," he said. Link to post Share on other sites
