toontownman Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Reina has been linked to Barcelona hasn't he? Definitely not good enough. Not the area I would strengthen first but if krul is off he would be a great replacement. would love Redmond. Have wanted him for a few years. Pretty sure he is premier League bound though.

Redmond and Townsend on the wings would be wanktastic tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 BBC Podcast had Rafa linked to Agger and Raina, both easy assumptions but not that unlikely. Raina might not be the best goalkeeper in the world but his passing out from the back is as good as anyone's. You do know he's just helped Napoli finish second in Serie A, yeah?

nufcjb Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just hope we have enough quality and numbers in the squad. 46 games is gruelling and injuries and suspension will happen. The backup must be atleast the same quality as who plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDT Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If we are planning on playing the same style we have under Rafa in the Championship there's absolutely nothing about Thauvin or Cabella that would fit with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Keep Thauvin for his fit lass. Make her the face of the marketing department for the club. Sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 If we are planning on playing the same style we have under Rafa in the Championship there's absolutely nothing about Thauvin or Cabella that would fit with that. Technically they are wide players so in theory they should be able to do what Aarons did against Spurs, which is murder teams on the counter. From what I've seen though, they don't really offer as much pace or threat as Aarons. Cabella pisses about on the ball too much, and Thauvin prefers strolling to sprinting. Of the two Thauvin looks like he might have some potential end product if he can be a bit more aggressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 We don't need a new goalkeeper unless we get rid of two. Both Elliot and Darlow have shown that they are capable of stepping up to the plate, then we have Woodman as back up to those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Elliott and Darlow are more than good enough for the championship. If anything it will be a job to keep Darlow happy if he goes on the bench behind Krul. Elliott no one really cares about, he'll probably be happy to be here. Maybe Pardew will come in for him.

Both Elliot and Darlow have shown that they are capable of stepping up to the plate, then we have Woodman as back up to those two. I expect Krul to leave, and if so Reina would make huge sense. Darlow and Elliot looked alright I guess, but I'd still want Krul or someone with Reinas experience to help us get promoted directly. But don't see why Reina would leave Napoli for us instead of Barcelona unless playing time means a lot to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Olympique de Marseille enter administration after defaulting on predatory pay-day loan" Spaceman, Deuce hilarious Regarding GK - would love for us to have Darlow and Krul compete for the #1 shirt, but eventually would like for us to bring in a top class GK if/when we return to the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
