Monkey Alan Posted Tuesday at 11:00 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:00 1 hour ago, KingArthur said: The problem with the right footer at RW, even if he drifts inside, is that he doesn't bring a goal scoring threat from cutting in. We need a winger who likes to cut inside and let the fullback overlap, which Trippier or Tino will gladly do, and possess a decent enough left foot. after that. Bringing in a right footer will slow the play down, especially if he is not 2-footed enough. 100% agree. Round pegs and bum holes. Putting Gordon on the right is an awful idea.

Beth Posted Tuesday at 11:14 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:14 If no one else leaves then what signings will we make? RW will be obvious, but I doubt it will be mega money, perhaps £30-40m at most. Pretty much covered everywhere else now, perhaps a punt on a young ST? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted Tuesday at 11:16 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:16 31 minutes ago, KingArthur said: fair enough, I respect your opinion and think totally differently. Although there must be some reason that no top team has right winger who is right footed? At least in the PL, if I remember correctly. And I think those issues did pop up even with Murphy. And Murphy is not a technical player drifting to that pocket which Bruno often occupies. Yeah, just a difference of opinion. The inverted wingers are definitely the tactical preference nowadays, but I still think the traditional winger can still be effective. I'm cool with whichever tbh. However, I'd rather have a very good right footer in that position, rather than an okay left footer just because. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. But given the money MGW would cost, I would say we would get an efficient left footer. But really the biggest thing is that he can contribute goals+assists, that is something Almiron hasnt't been doing except for one patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted Tuesday at 11:53 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:53 If we moved on Wilson and Almiron and then brought in MGW and Mbuemo (or two players that fit those moulds) I'd feel really good about us going into next season. Isak, Gordon, MGW, Barnes and Mbuemo is a really good quintet to fill the front three spots while giving us depth and options off the bench. Lots of versatility there too. Murphy as the sixth man of the front options. Would also give us the option of going 4-2-3-1 with MGW in the hole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted Tuesday at 12:34 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:34 5 hours ago, STM said: Mental that people don't rate MGW, he's absolutely class. There's nothing not to like, big, strong, quick, good feet, big game player, leadership, versatile and he's got so much more to give. He’s decent, he raises the floor but he’s nowhere near the ceiling. Also gonna be expensive for what he is. If we sign him great, an improvement on Elliot, but there will be much better prospects and value out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted Tuesday at 12:34 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:34 Aye, RCB seems a certainty. We were very clearly keen on Tosin. RW RCB Versatile Forward GK Reckon that's the list of where we're trying to bring in impact players in order. I'd personally put the versatile forward second on the list but I think it's third for the club. I reckon we might punt on the GK situation until next year.

Joelinton7 Posted Tuesday at 13:34 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:34 We have to get a new CB. We can’t go half the season with essentially just Schar, Burn and Kelly as out and out CB’s. If any of them gets injured then we’re left with two CB’s (and Krafth to fill in). Schar will be 33 this year. Burn is 32. Kelly has previous injury woes. It’d be incredibly naive not to get more CB’s in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
