Dr Jinx Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 There’s not loads I’d change about our squad, it’s become a unit again. GK to challenge Pope RCB to compete with Schär CM to replace Longstaff or Miley. CF to replace Wilson RW to compete with Murphy If Gordon leaves let Cordero be backup for Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An insane opinion, IMHO. I feel like recency bias is reigning over this list you've made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Certainly nothing wrong with our scouting, that Andrey Santos is now one of the best midfielders in France after his unsuccessful loan at Forrest. Thinks it’s just been our finances and timing that has prevented us from having more young talent on the books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 11 hours ago, Thumbheed said: Might be being delusional but I'd put our pull right the way up there at the moment. We're currently the best team in the most watched league in the world and constantly growing with a new stadium in the works. It's all gonna be fresh in players memories come the summer, plus the pathway to the first team is almost guaranteed, respectfully to Murphy. Best coach in the world at developing players Just broken very long trophy drought Handful of top class players already If we qualify for CL it’s 2 in 3 seasons Finishing the season in fantastic form Play in the most watched league in the world Wealthy owners with stated ambition of being number 1 We have an awful lot going for us.

Keegans Export Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I think today has shown that while we may be one or two away from having a top quality side, we are still a long way from having a top quality squad. Obviously I have no idea what our budget is but we have to stretch it as far as we can. I don't want to see us spend £60m on a marquee RW and still have to look to the likes of Longstaff, Wilson and Krafth on the bench if a game isn't going our way.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Think tonight just reaffirmed we need: - A keeper who can pass through the lines. - A centre-back with a bit of pace. - A right-winger. We'll be a 4th to 7th place team as we are with Howe and our high intensity/quality in the middle and in attack, but for the next level we need those 3.

nemtizz Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 and a CM that can hit the ball further than 10 yards without winding up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Another CM needed as well still imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Also another midfielder. Ours has been immense but when they're coming off second best and it's not going well, and the opposition can then put on someone like Onana while we have Willock, Longstaff & Miley...it's a bit of a hindrance.

He's twice the player Mbuemo is, for reference on value. Mbuemo 18 goals and premier league established? Twice is a huge statement, be lucky to live up to the standard Mbuemo has already set.

I feel like I've been saying this forever. If we go back into Europe without filling out the squad more, especially now there's even more games to play in Europe, I don't think it's going to go well. As things stand we have one player coming off the bench that is consistently good, in Barnes/Gordon. All the rest are a mish mash of inconsistency, poor play, a lack of experience or struggles with injuries. We really had better figure out a way to stretch that budget this summer.

Yeah a new gk, RW and CB with speed takes us up a notch for sure but it’s going to be a struggle during the next window to equip the squad with the depth needed.

The Prophet Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I actually think we'll need another midfielder in the summer. The drop off from the three first choices is enormous at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
