xLiaaamx Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Pointless getting rid of Fab imo even if we sign two. It puts us straight back in to on the verge of Clark starting all the time if we have an inkury. Fede is clearly Howe's last choice despite being our clear best/second best along with Schar.

54 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 What position does Cantwell play? Could be be used as a CM option, or is he more of a CAM? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I remember reading that he didn't often chuck players straight in at Bournemouth; he preferred to work with them a bit first and then would look to ease them in. Difference here is that we're, on the surface of it, signing players of a better calibre, and we don't really have the time to mess around. Still, I don't think he's going to be chucking in a new striker and CB next weekend, unless they're of ridiculous quality and/or already have PL experience.

This might be the reason he seems to favour players he's worked with in the past - he can integrate them quicker. He's worked with Trippier in the past so imagine he'll know what Eddie expects and will go straight in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 As well as defenders I hope we get someone in that centre midfield that can actually move. Need to control games and need that area to be strong to do so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotic Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 One of Eddie's little weaknesses, IMHO. He has shown that he likes to bed players in progressively. It's the right way to go about things, normally, but not when your options during a relegation battle are Ciaran Clark and Karl Darlow, ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie1892 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 who we ditching to make room in the squad GK's - gillespie and maybe woodman out on loan again or Darlow away? defenders - clark, possibly dummett, krafth, maybe fernandez?

Ikon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Striker will be the most difficult one to get. Also not always easy to get right. We need 2 most likely. Hopefully one of them can play in a more wide forwward role. Less important if we have Trippier plus a new LB to give more width, but still Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't seen enough of him to judge but I thought Irish international, might have a bit about him. He scored a goal in his first couple of games as well didn't he, but that was the only highlight of his time here. Typical Ashley signing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
