StriderHiryu Posted 5 August 2023 Posted 5 August 2023 41 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: We need better 8's if that's the case too. Mavididi and Rak-Sakyi are goal scorers and should be encouraged to get in the box. It's going to take some getting used to Maresca's comments and actions because there's a fair bit that I'm quite confused on with him so far. I think he might be trying to play mind games with Mark Robbins... for example the "if I start Jamie Vardy" statement. Coventry play really narrow, there are gaps out wide, maybe he's trying to scare Robbns into having a back 4 and then exploit the half-spaces like we've seen all pre-season? As you say we don't know enough about him, he might be partly mental for all we know 2 minutes ago, Bluearmyfox28 said: Noticeable though that both wingers he has signed are comfortable with both feet. We've seen already that he loves fluid formations. Man City moved more towards players like Foden, Bernardo and Grealish because they can play multiple roles during the same game. Kasey McAteer I think is a very good example, he has played as both an attacking midfielder in some preseason games, and as a winger in others. 1

FosseSpark Posted 6 August 2023 Posted 6 August 2023 Squad id want Hermansen, Stolarcyk, Smithies Ricardo Justin, Kristiansen, Thomas Coady, Faes, ANOTHER, Doyle Winks, Casadei, KDH, Ndidi, Choudhury Praet, Mavididi, Rak-Sakyi, Albrighton, Madivadua, McAteer Vardy, Iheanacho, Piroe So thats still a CB, Casadei Rak Sakyi and Piroe to sort. Out Castagne, Daka, Souttar, Iversen, Ward. Vestergaard which should fetch another £30m or more. Our game management spine then becomes Hermansen, Ricardo, Coady, Winks, KDH, Vardy, Nacho X factor comes from Mavididi, Rak-Sakyi, Casadei, Nacho, Piroe, Vardy The only thing we miss is a nasty streak and a bit of smarts which we will need knocking in to us by Maresca and Caballero.

Been mentioned a fair bit, but yes he'd fit the bill perfectly. I'd imagine if we could move on at least one of vesty and souttar we'd be knocking on their door. Haven't they got some finance problems too?

Aware you've said or more but accepting 30 million as a minimum for those 6 would be awful business
Lambert09 Posted 6 August 2023 Posted 6 August 2023 (edited) if hamer is available at 12m as reported… and maresca thinks so highly of him, than surely that makes more sense than casadei. Id always take a permanent player over a loan if you can get equal quality. honestly we need him just for set pieces or we are going to be wasting them all season. Edited 6 August 2023 by Lambert09

They don't need to sell Hamer, even if (I think?) he's in the last year of his contract. Every chance a Premier League club come in for him towards the end of the window unfortunately, with more money and they don't strengthen a rival.

A permanent player is preferable over a loan of similair quality but if getting that loan allows us to then improve other areas by using that money elsewhere then we are gaining more by going with that option. In the short term at least.
kingfox Posted 6 August 2023 Posted 6 August 2023 After today, a ball playing centre back with pace, two ‘8’’s and two wingers are evidently needed. CB Adamo Nagalo - Nordsjaelland Edvin Kurtulus - Hammarby Leonidas Stergiou - St. Gallen 8 - Casadei and... Marcel Ruiz - Toluca Albert Gronbaek - Bodo/Glimt Amane Romeo - Hacken RW Rak-Sakyi or Manhoef LW - Competition for Mavididi Sebastian Nanasi - Malmö Ephron Mason-Clark - Peterborough Ignacio Aliseda - Lugano

Perhaps a little overweight although perhaps that's his build.
