STM Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Anita, Gamez, Dummett, Haidara, Mbabu and Clark. We will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hope Lascelles gets the #5, want our main man (and hopefully captain) to have a proper CB's #. Perez to get the #10 from Siem. Ritchie to get the #11 from Gouff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 How many left footed attacking LB's do we have? Every single play (almost) started on our right hand side last season which made it too easy for the opposition to press and nullify us. I like Dummett defensively but he just can't handle a football. We are gonna push teams back more now compared to last season and having that extra attacking option through a LB in the last third will enable us to get another player in the box. One with end product providing width as well. You don't always need both full backs attacking. It's about balance and I think Rafa sees it like that. The players we have in front of full backs should make the difference attacking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Winger is priority IMO. I think that is what Rafa was talking about, when he said "balance". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players we have in front of full backs should make the difference attacking It's about the fact Dummett can hardly control a football tbh Not so bothered about attacking part personally, but having a solid LB who is comfortable on the ball would be great IMO. But like i said i do think what we have is enough to get through the division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah we "should" be ok anyway that's why it's not the end of the world if we don't sign one. I'm ok with waiting until january or when/if we go up. But i really want one Nowt wrong with having or aspiring to have a quality specialist LB. We may have several options but they're mostly a bit s*** like. More pressing is a winger and another forward proven to get goals at this level. A central player who can create would be nice but we do have plenty in the middle and maybe it's more about finding the right blend of players in there rather than needing another. We get those 2 (winger and forward) in we can look forward to a good season. Edit to add - forgot about Mbabu completely, I like him and think he might have what it takes.

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Don't reckon any of the numbers for the players that were here before the summer will change - with the exception of Mitro maybe getting 9 - tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like i said i do think what we have is enough to get through the division. Fairly confident if Dummet is terrible that we have enough cover that won't be. I would rather sign further up the pitch. We have signed 4 defenders already if include Hayden. Need wing / attacking options Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, when he mentioned to the press for the first time a few days ago i think he meant a CM who can score too but Diame seems to have that covered.

LionOfGosforth Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Bit surprised we weren't in for McCormack, not like we couldn't afford him. Basically guarantees goals at this level. After Gayle who I think will do well, not sure about our main striker options, Mitrovic suspended for 4 and not proven (at any level really), Armstrong still seems to be a year or two away. I hope Gayle hits the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Let's just spend money on Will Hughes. Maybe we still have an interest in the Anderlecht winger or maybe some Spanish on horizon. We have now signed a lot of British players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
