He looks quite slow to me Very technical, intelligent on and off the ball and makes simple but the right passes. Gives and goes a lot, just a very good footballer who isn’t rapid or physical, but he doesn’t need to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that would be unreal I’m right there with you on the need for it (and you’re not the first with similarly fanciful thinking) but how often do teams completely overhaul a starting backline in a single go? I think Tripper + a new CB is the most we’re likely to get. Edited December 28, 2021 by Tomato Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Not gonna disagree too much with what you say there. Integrating the squad will be tricky if we buy a lot of players.It’s something I’ve brought up myself a few times in here, whenever anyone has made” just go and buy a brand new eleven” posts. The problem is our defensive options are incredibly poor. With a half decent defence we win last night. Even though Lascelles had decent protection yesterday he lost Cavani multiple times with his movement. You could just see something was going to happen, and it did. Clarke isn’t a good option either. Maybe Schar and Fernandez can provide decent cover to ensure Lascelles and Clarke never see the team sheet again. as a side point it’s sad to say that about two stalwarts that re good pro’s and helped us with promotion, but they just can’t hack this level. It’s really annoyed me people calling them both cunts etc. it would be much better if we as fans have them a decent send of, and show them we appreciate their contribution over the last few years.

Guest HTT II Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 We pretty much need a whole new team, but as the past has shown, just getting two or three right players in can make all the difference even to a shit or average team. Robert and Bellamy for example and then Woodgate (how he just improved our entire back four alone). Sadly for us that team had a solid spine in Given, Speed and Shearer in particular which we lack and that’s where I’d focus on, especially in the centre of defence and midfield and hopefully with a top notch CF.

Give them realistic release fees in their contracts if we go down. Sign players on loan to perm contracts if we stay up, if we don’t they go back to their parent club who receive a loan fee for their troubles. Players may have concerns but there’s things we can go do to mitigate them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Looks like we will be going into the transfer window only a couple of points adrift of 17th, which is a minor miracle in itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we show that we mean business early on I think we might have some luck. If we can smash in a top striker, Trippier and Botman early for example it should be easier to get top players. If we fail to make a statement early on I can see a lot of players being reluctant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
