Not worried about his time at Heerenveen? Granted I’ve seen nothing of him but could easily just be on an excellent season rather than being a consistent performer.

 

Personally I prefer Kasper Hogh at Bodo Glimt. I’m struggling for CF options though, maybe Thom Van Bergen at Groningen or if we have the money, Salech from Cardiff.

No, not worried at all. The cost difference between him and Hogh would be about quarter the price.

Shuto Machino from Kiel.

 

11 goals and 4 assists in a relegated side last season, good link up. £5m being talked about as enough to get him in.

The squad is still extremely strong for the championship when you get rid of the dead wood like bouba, faes etc.

 

we still need fresh blood and at a minimum we need new quality starting CM,ST and you could argue everywhere else we have depth especially with the return of Fatawu and some younger lads. Id be open to a new defender aswell.

Unless there's many sales in CM I don't think we'll do much. Can see Ricardo playing CM now with Winks, Skipp and Hamza back up and some kids as and when. Surely Soumare and Ndidi go.

 

Quite concerned about a 10 and ST though with BEK likely leaving.

likes of 

Josef Erabi,

Otto Rosengren

Hugo Bolin

etc

Erabi is a shout as a CF/AM option, probably more as a squad player for now.

 

I can see Cifuentes going back to Hammarby for Markus Karlsson, would be a natural Winks replacement, probably good enough going forward to play alongside him too.

Alves and Monga?

Monga hasn't been used there for us and I think he played on the wing for the U21s, Alves likewise has played predominantly LW.

I'm not even that bothered about them leaving - in the Championship they're two of the best in their positions.

 

Ideally they do though and we make a profit for PSR/get their wages gone, but I don't expect much demand.

I think he said somewhere that 10 was his preferred position, which is why I suggested it if BEK goes.

Yeah agree but beyond ability i think they are just bad egg mentalities and just cant be arsed to play for this club in the championship.

Can see Alves being used as a 10 more, would actually love during pre season to see a front 4 of Fatawu, Alves, Monga and Mavididi, purely for the dribbles.


We will need an attacking midfielder and a centre forward as high priority.

To be honest the squad doesn’t really need much, at most 4 signings as far as I’m concerned, Focusing mainly on free agents to reset PSR and spend whatever budget we do have on a quality striker. I expect us to only bring in a GK and CM though. 

 

GK - Begovic - That goalkeeper room needs some experience in it. Begovic is a very good No. 2 goalkeeper in the championship, experience through the roof at the top level, previously managed by Marti.

 

CB - Michael Keane or Lascelles -  Dependent on if we can get all three of Coady, Faes and Vesty off the books. Get a cheap leader with experience as 3rd/4th choice, more leadership needed with the squad likely to be so young. 

 

CM - Josh Brownhill - Fits Marti’s system in a 4-3-3 like a glove. Offers goal contributions and more natural in the No.8 role than any other midfielder on the books.
 

ST - Fotis Ioanndis - Bit of a gamble this one as he had a poor season last year. But his style of play again fits us like a glove. Focusing more on fit than goal return. I don’t have much knowledge of strikers across Europe that could be available. I wouldn’t be surprised if we stick with Daka, Ayew and Evans however.


SQUAD:

 

GK - Jakub, Begovic, Bausor

 

Fullbacks - JJ, Ricky, Woyo, Thomas, Aluko

 

Centre backs - Okoli, Nelson, New signing, Soutts, Aluko

 

Centre Mid - Winks, Skipp, Hamza, new signing, Page

 

Attacking Mid - Bilal, Alves, Monga, Evans 

 

Wingers - Abdul, Mav, McAteer, Monga, Alves, Wanya

 

Strikers - New signing, Daka, Evans

If we end up looking for a backup AM/winger and money is tight, I could very well see us going for Lucas Andersen. 

Played for MC at Aalborg (it might even have been him that signed him) and then he signed him for QPR. Now a free agent.

Keep seeing his name come up but I've not seen anything from Coulibaly to suggest he's good enough. I appreciate he was cheap, but he's not shown he's at our level.

That's the point! None of us have seen enough to judge either way

Generally  agree but no thanks to Keane.  I don't really get the leaders thing. Or certainly not getting in experienced pros as leaders.  Look at Coady.  Utter flop.  His leadership did nothing for us last season.

 

I prefer the Thomas Frank approach.  Don't recruit dicks.  Leaders can be any age, let's focus on young leaders not tired old pros.

Well played, Agent Smith…..  :ph34r:

 

Charlotte FC star Patrick Agyemang may be closing in on a move to Derby County, but his club manager has urged him to reconsider.
