James Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 We signed a wide player, and we signed a proven Premier League striker. We've also signed a central midfielder, an 18 year old attacking midfielder, and we expect to sign a back up left back. Putting all that into the mix, where do we now need to look at improving? An overview of our squad looking at who can play there rather than who is good at playing there: Goalkeeper Harper Krul Forster Soderberg That Very Tall Serbian Centre Back Coloccini Williamson Steven Taylor Perch Kadar Tavernier Right Back Simpson Perch Steven Taylor Ryan Taylor Gosling Tavernier Left Back Enrique Ferguson Perch Kadar Neil Taylor Central Midfield Tiote Cabaye Barton Ben Arfa Marveaux Smith Guthrie Gosling Coloccini Perch Abeid Donaldson Vuckic Ryan Taylor Richardson Right Midfield Ben Arfa Barton Gosling Routledge Ryan Taylor Lovenkrands Guthrie Abeid Gutierrez Ranger LuaLua Left Midfield Marveaux Gutierrez Ben Arfa Ferguson Lovenkrands Abeid Vuckic Guthrie Barton Lua Lua Neil Taylor Wide striker/Inside Forward Ben Arfa Marveaux Lovenkrands Ranger Routledge Abeid Ba Xisco Lua Lua Sammy Ameobi Donaldson Striker Ba Shola Ameobi Best Lovenkrands Ranger Xisco Sammy Ameobi Donalson Airey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 We need 2 quality strikers - been the same story for some years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Depending on formations we either need to get two more strikers, or one striker and one wide striker/inside forward. Then a centre back. Then a central midfielder, preferably a non-African due to the ANC. Then if still plush a right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Nothing's changed, we need a striker and a right winger. Possibly some more cover in the middle too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maze Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Goalkeeper Fine in this position. Either Krul or Forster as 1st GK. Harper's days are over more or less. Harper Krul Forster Centre Back Coloccini indisputably the best CB. We could do with another CB Coloccini Williamson Steven Taylor Kadar (How is he progressing?) Tavernier (Loan out) Right Back Where is Perch? Simpsons a starter for me. Ryan Taylor should leave. Need a RB. Simpson Steven Taylor Ryan Taylor Gosling (more of a midfielder for me) Tavernier (see above) Left Back Fine here, as long as Enrique stays. I think he will leave though. Neil Taylor can possibly be "the new Perch." Enrique Ferguson Kadar Neil Taylor Central Midfield Very good here. Tiote Cabaye Barton Ben Arfa Marveaux Smith (Will hopefully leave) Guthrie (Should leave) Gosling Coloccini Donaldson (Loan out) Vuckic (How is he progressing?) Ryan Taylor (se above) Richardson (Loan out) Right Midfield Need a new RM. Ben Arfa Barton (As much as he is important to us now. I want him out) Gosling Routledge (Keep and see how he does) Ryan Taylor (see above) Lovenkrands (Bye, bye) Guthrie Gutierrez (its a keeper until we find a better replacement.) Ranger (Most likely gone) LuaLua (Leaving...?) Left Midfield Ok here Marveaux Gutierrez (See above) Ben Arfa Ferguson Lovenkrands (see above) Vuckic (see above) Guthrie (see above) Barton (see above) Lua Lua (see above) Neil Taylor (see above) Wide striker/Inside Forward OK here Ben Arfa Marveaux Lovenkrands (see above) Ranger (see above) Routledge (see above) Ba Lua Lua (see above) Sammy Ameobi (Loan out) Donaldson (Loan out) Striker Need two more. Xisco missing? I'd give Xisco chance. Ba Shola Ameobi (The day he's leaving I'll jizz my pants) Best (Should be kept as backup) Lovenkrands (see above) Ranger (see above) Sammy Ameobi (see above) Donalson(see above) Airey (Loan out) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Centre Back either cover or first choice partner for Colo, a right winger and another forward. Add that to a replacement for any player we sell other than Smith, and one of Shola/Loven (we need four strikers). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Ideally: Centreback, Proven Striker, N'zogbia, Right-back Realistically: Striker + miscellaneous other Then replace if/when they leave - Barton/Enrique/Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 CB, Striker, N'Zogbia and possibly a CM squad player. Probably another RB as well, or ideally someone who can cover both full back positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I see The Prophet is as ever incapable of reading. I'm yet to see any evidence Lovenkrands can play out wide/Perch in the middle/Barton the left/etc. Yes they may have been played in that position but it doesn't mean they can play it. In that case, Shola is left wing cover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Another striker or 2, another central midfielder and another wide. I wouldnt mind if we went and got another defender or 2 either, you can never have too many squad players and our back up players arnt the best.

ponsaelius Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Atleast 1 striker, hopefully two. Another winger. Maybe another CM/DM like Matuidi. CB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Incidentally we can only sign one more over-21 now before we have players who would be earning but unable to play. I'd imagine then that soon Pardew will be expected to shift a player before he can bring a new one in. Hence Smith and Best being made available.
