StarkFox Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 I want to get it off my chest and just want to run through the squad to point out players we don't need. IVERSON - KEEP WARD - SELL SMITHIES - KEEP (I GUESS AS ONLY 3RD CHOICE) FOFANA - KEEP SOYUNCU - SELL JUSTIN - KEEP BERTRAND - SELL EVANS - KEEP THOMAS - SELL CASTAGNE - KEEP VESTERGAARD - SELL RICKY P - KEEP AMARTEY - SELL BARNES - KEEP TEILEMANS - KEEP MADDERS - KEEP ALBRIGHTON - SELL (WELL OVERDUE) KDH - KEEP MENDY - SELL NDIDI - KEEP PRAET - KEEP SOUMARE - SELL VARDY - KEEP DAKA - KEEP KELECHI - SELL AYOZE - SELL Honestly when you look at the squad compared to other teams we are soo soo poor, got no good depth in so many positions. People talking about how we need a winger, hahah we need 3, we literally just have Barnes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav_LCFC14 Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 (edited) I can't see anyone who is going to elevate the starting XI coming in. Maybe some more bench warmers that get 10 mins here or there. The premium required for top quality players this late into the window makes signing top players extremely difficult for a club in our position, especially now more leagues are kicking off across Europe. Unfortunately, come September 1st our starting XI at the end of the window will be worse off than the start of the window.

StarkFox Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 such a shambles, best training ground in the land, but just not got the quality personel training in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Fresh Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Motika who left Bayern to join Red Star is going to be huge, sort of player we should move for before he makes his next move. Same with Schjelderup at Nordsjælland started this season in great form and is only going to end up playing at the highest level. Mentioned Nagalo from Nordsjælland before, we should just take the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 433/4231 midfield/wings is Ndidi, Youri, KDH, Barnes, Maddison - anyone we sign isn't displacing any of them from the off, but we definitely someone for depth. Sell Youri, sign a right winger, get Maddison playing through the middle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Fresh Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Missed out on the brother of Luis Diaz, although we'd of needed him to have left Barranquilla and joined their parent club Junior to play in continental games to get a permit. Joined Porto during this window as a loan with option to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teblin Posted 17 August 2022 Share Posted 17 August 2022 As fofana looks like he is on his way. obviously a new CB is needed. But I’d argue we don’t need a flash centre back that bring the ball out. We need a solid dependable defender who can do simple things well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Szalai from Fenerbahce. 24 years old, left footed, 6ft 4. Fenerbahce are after £17m, pretty close to risk free at that price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 17 August 2022 Share Posted 17 August 2022 (edited) Sell Fofana Sell Soumare Buy Adama Traore Buy Kossounou This would leave us with a very balanced squad imo GK: Ward Iversen Smithies RB: Ricardo Castagne CB: Evans Kossounou Soyuncu Amartey Vestergaard LB: Justin Thomas Bertrand CDM: Ndidi Mendy No 8: Tielemans KDH No.10: Maddison Praet RHS Attk: Traore Perez LHS Atttk: Barnes Albrighton CF: Vardy Iheanacho Daka So 26 listed. Wouldn't need to list Thomas (as under 21 rule), maybe Bertrand and /or Ricardo for the first 6 months. So well in the 25.

Also, in all seriousness, a front three of Traore - Vardy - Barnes seriously makes teams stop and think about how they approach playing us. The lesser teams change their style to counter our strengths, thus giving us the upper hand before a ball is kicked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
