STM Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Estupinian is a player who i could see us interested in. It's shame that the selling club is Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjohnson Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 44 minutes ago, Matt1892 said: I can see us going for Lloyd Kelly at left back on a free transfer, who is currently linked with Spurs and Liverpool. The only concern about him is his injury record. Just what we need given our history and luck with injuries Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) 53 minutes ago, Ronson333 said: I really like the look of Murillo at Notts Forest, very good in the tackle and great passing ability for a centre back, probably can play left back too. He’s only 21 and reminds me of a younger Martinez at Man Utd. Yep, definitely looks like he should be playing at a higher level. Fantastic passer and really quick too. Think he'd be an ideal Burn upgrade in our system with some coaching. edit: see 1:16 on the clip below: Edited February 11 by Smal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexred Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 If Forest go down we'd likely get him for a good price. They apparently only paid €15M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 What's clear for me is we need more pace and athleticism in the back 4 and midfield positions. I think it's really holding us back especially as we have been missing Willock, Joelinton and to some extent Tonali most of the season. There are no legs in the team once you get past our front 3 and feels like every other team has an athletic advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three of those will be back by the summer though, so I wonder if we'll even be looking at midfield for new signings next time round. Unless of course we decide to sell one or more of them.

maybe_next_year Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 To miss your first choice keeper, 3 central midfielders & your new winger for most of the season (not mentioning the other injuries) is not a normal situation to find ourselves in and the summer should reflect this. Honestly, I'd be happy with 2 quality introductions into the first eleven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW CM ST CB (top class young CB to play backup to Schar and Botman for a season) Let Wilson and Almiron go if we can get a decent fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I would get two midfielders in and get rid of one or two current ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think we are at a point where we need freshen things up and not just add to the existing group. If we can move 2 or 3 on and bring 4 or 5 in then that should give us the quality and quantity needed if done right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Longstaff would give us decent FFP room if we can get £20-30m for him. £20m for Almiron and whatever we can get for Wilson and that could fund a rebuild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
janpawel Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Wonder what pope will be like after his surgery, there's a chance it could knock his confidence / performance. I've had 2 dislocations and the thought of jumping arm outstretched to then land on the floor would terrify me ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Playing a midfield 3 means needing 5 decent CMs in every match day squad and at least 6 in the 25, plus youth players behind. Always at least one short this season, two following Tonalis suspension, so some of the impact of the injuries has been self inflicted IMO only RB, LW and GK have adequate cover. (I know there’s a drop off between Pope and Dubravka but at GK there will always be a difference between first and second choice as there’s no game time for no2s), but FFP means probably restricted to fixing CM and RW plus getting cover at CB and replacing any outgoings. Unless there’s a decent young CB in the club there is going to be a cover problem there at some point soon as Dummett must be nearing the Ritchie stage of being a footballer in name only, so that leaves only 4 including Burn Edited February 11 by WilliamPS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 100% need a FW imo. It's been conclusively proven that we can't rely on Wilson and Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon_Geordie Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Pacey Young Right Central Defender Athletic Intelligent Ball Winning Midfielder Right Winger who can use both feet, with a little guile would be nice. A Forward who scores goals and is fit more than 1/3 games. Pacey Left Back (Hall? I'm not sure) A backup/No 1 GK who reads the game, is commanding and can kick a football to the above People. Eventually you'd have: GK/Pope Trippier / Tino Schar / Pacey Guy Botman Tino / Hall Athletic Ball winning MF / Tonali Bruno / Anderson Big Jo / Little Jo Gordon / Barnes Right Winger / Gordon Isak / Fit Forward / Young Forward Sell Miggy, Wilson, Lasecelles, Dubs, all the old boys.
