fox_up_north Posted 19 June 2022 Share Posted 19 June 2022 Just been watching TV. That Richard Osman must be worth a shout as CB. Tall, good in the air, knows a lot of facts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 19 June 2022 Share Posted 19 June 2022 My prediction of us panic buying Dwight McNeil at the end of the window still looking good then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ought be looking for a far more athletic defenders with aerial presence rather than the next Maguire. In the games I’ve seen him play he has come in along and I thought he was quite athletic. In his first few games in the EPL I thought he was out of his depth but he has come on along a lot since then. I can see him continuing to improve. We don’t want another maguire though.

Phenom Posted 19 June 2022 Share Posted 19 June 2022 If true that we’re waiting to sell in order to buy – that’s an extremely worrying sign about our ownership’s financial strength. We need to strengthen certain areas whether we sell or not. Again, not sure if that’s true but if it is… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could help us see out games or just general experience in the dressing room He's just spent most of the season out injured, so not a great look for a 35 year old.

Again, not sure if that’s true but if it is… Not that different to normal really Last summer is the only time we have had a summer without a big sale to fund the majority of our summer activity - we usually only have a net spend of around £20m at most And I still think the club might have expected 1 big sale to cover last summer as well (Maddison or Tielemans) Edited 19 June 2022 by moore_94 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which summers did this happen, when a player was sold "in order to fund" our buys? 2016? We didn't want to sell Kante, and we were going on a buying spree no matter what. 2017? Danny Drinkwater was a deadline day deal he forced, and all our business was done, except for his replacement. 2018? Mahrez had been trying to force a move for years, and we bought Maddison and Ricardo before we sold him. 2019? We didn't want to sell Maguire and pulled ManU's pants down on the deal. All our business except for Praet done before he was sold. 2020? Only case where an argument could be made that we sold Chilwell because we needed the money due to COVID. In all other cases, we struck very good deals for players we didn't want to sell! What was the plan if we kept the players we very much wanted to keep? To completely stay out of the market? I know it looks like our policy is to sell a player to fund our transfers, but in reality, the club has a policy of not selling more than one "important" player a window ... hence telling Mahrez to "shut up and play" for two years and telling Maguire he wasn't going a anywhere in 2018. Yes, the club has kept net spend down, but that has been more to do with not acting payday rich when coming into cash than the club being poor.

I crave for the day where you talk to away fans and they fear how our attacking players will hurt them, seem faster/stronger than their players. A signing like Sarr is exactly what I’d love to see but I’m with you, BR rightfully so is considering teams that low block us so it’s definitely a conundrum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sort of signings are of limited use when you are no longer the plucky underdog, because as you say, teams low block us and Sarr is not much use at unlocking such defenses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing as a kid and my coach shouting the ball moves faster than any player but a combination of both is what the elite sides do. I’m not saying we have to go back to counter attacking football but our pressing from the front this (is it last yet) season didn’t seem to be with much purpose other than KDH so the more pace to cause concern and force mistakes worked against us most of the season.

Clarkey123 Posted 21 June 2022 Share Posted 21 June 2022 I’d take any of Joao Pedro, Sarr, Dennis or Cornet. All sitting in the championship probably desperate to leave. Wouldn’t of thought it would be hugely difficult to acquire them, in comparison to others in the top leagues either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
