He’s been brilliant as a defender. No denying that. We are gonna need a left back that can get up and down the park who can get involved in these famous Barnes 1-2’s

That’s mainly going to be coming from the forward or left sided 8 though surely. If our left back is spending the game in the half spaces on the edge of the oppositions area, our defensive record is going to be pretty shocking

Saw some French media claiming Jean-Clair Todibo has been identified as our main CB target. Disasi no longer of interest. OGCN value @€40m

He would certainly be a better fit for us.

Going back to the previous page. I don't anyone is disrespecting Schar, he was out best defender last season. It's more and acceptance he isn't getting any younger and will need to be rotated.


I think Howe really likes the back line we played with last season and isn’t in a rush to change any of them, however he knows that age is going to catch up with most of them sooner rather than later.

 

The sensible thing to do is what he is looking to do with Livramento, bring in a young player with potential that can gradually replace the current player in that position over a period of up to 2 years.

 

I think he might look to do the same with CB and LB this summer too if he can.

I think if we get either a left-back or another centre-back we'll be great again. A left-back would put Burn back into central-defence, a centre-back strengthens that group but keeps Burn as a left-back which isn't perfect but hopefully gets us by for one more year.

CB is top priority now. Todibo is the linked for €40m. Can’t see Andersen being pursued.
 

Can’t see us signing anyone at LB now. We don’t need any more wingers. That will be next summer, when we upgrade the RW, and shift Almiron/Murphy.

If we've decided to to stick with Burn and Targett...

 

 

It has to be a CB, that way we can stick with Burn at LB for now but still have depth with Schar, Botman and Lascelles if he stays.

I don’t see us being short in the centre of midfield, in fact I can’t remember us ever having this much depth in that position.

 

Five players covering three positions. I guess Anderson and Gordon can cover, but neither look natural there.

But they would be sixth choice, the worst case you change the midfield slightly to play 4-2-3-1 if we have that many injuries.

 

If we are not going to give Anderson and Miley a route to the first team even as sixth choice then youngsters will go to rivals instead.

I’m not sure we’re getting an rw, think Gordon will be deployed there.


I think we will look to go big if we can on someone like Chiesa, then possibly sell Almiron when the deal becomes permanent next summer.

Bruno, Tonali, Joelinton, Willock, Longstaff, Anderson, Miley....

 

I can't see us getting a CM, especially when we could easily switch to a 4231 and deploy a number 10: Gordon, Barnes, Isak, Joelinton etc.

Am sure Gordon came on and played as one of the midfield 3 in one of his earlier games for us. Obviously not going to be wanting to do that often but think he can do a job there

That NUFCGallowgate tweeted something cryptic before saying everyone needs to get used to spelling Andersen right. Not sure he has ever got info right mind. 

He wrote underneath its nowt to do with signing him he's just sick of people spelling it wrong ?
