Unbelievable Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Holmesy said: I'd be more than happy with Targett as our left back. I thought he did great when he first came, but the reason I, and I guess most other people don't talk about him as our first choice LB is because Eddie doesn't seem to see him as that. Even last season when most people were calling for Dan Burn to be dropped and Targett to come in, Eddie stuck with Burn and Targett warmed the bench. If he's our first choice LB this season, great! It’s almost like Howe saw no reason to break up his back four, which over the length of a full season proved to be one of the best in the Premier League. This preseason Howe and his coaching team will be working on giving us the best chance to replicate or improve on this record going in to next season, be it with Targett, Burn or someone else as yet unknown. Have some faith. The club have deserved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It’s actually really interesting how close ours and Chelsea’s transfer policies are. We are both targeting young players who are deemed to have very high potential. I think the long term plan for us will be to put ourselves in a position squad wise where we can sell anyone for daft money and actually end up being stronger due to having a wedge to reinvest. truly anti fragile.

How do they think pushing Bruno further up like he was initially playing, when Shelvey was sat deeper impacts that? I ask because I think we really need a more athletic defensive minded holding midfielder. I don't like how open our midfield looks in transition at times with Bruno sitting deep. I was following the Arsenal Vs Monaco game yesterday and Fofana the DM for Monaco looked great. He's a physical, athletic DM but his passing was quality too. Think he's now in the last year of his contract as well. Can't believe no one has gone for him. I've always thought the same thing re Bruno getting caught in transition with the way we press forward, I think this is where a lot of his fouls come from. But I wonder if Eddie is looking at all three midfielders defending according to their position on the pitch rather than have an out and out athletic defensive mid?

Kid Icarus Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) LB, back up RCB, and RW/AM and I think that'll do it. Don't think we'll be getting an RW/AM though. Edited August 3, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Doubt we’re getting an lb and a back up centre back tbh. Reckon it’ll be one or the other in the 30-40m range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really need a LB with Targett and Burn both pretty capable, defensively at least, but the back up/successor to Schar is something we'll address first I reckon. Only way we buy a new LB is if we sell Targett out of the blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll be the right two or three players to make us better." The noise from Howe wasnt that at all in his pre match presser for Chelsea.

Rich Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Think Howe said he wanted “a few more”, didn’t he? People weren’t sure whether that included Barnes or not. I’d be surprised to see more than two arriving after Livramento. If it was me, I’d be going after a LB and RW, but I can see why we’d prioritise a young right-sided centre-back.

My gut feeling with the RW/AM spot is that they're not going to go for anyone after missing out on Maddison and Szboszlai, unless there's another player at that level, in that same profile, within budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
