Like first day at secondary school, you may know one or two in your class but the majority are from other primary schools. Everyone’s called ‘mate’ for the first few weeks.
Thankfully in my opinion we seem to be heading into the season with a 433, with wingers, actual wingers.
As good as I think Colwill potentially could be, where would he even play in a 433?
Doesn't seem an out and out cm, doesn't have the best pace for out wide which isn't the end of the world but it feels like we are going to need it.
Is his best position a sort of advanced position through the centre?
I am not sure I agree with the ease of renewing contracts or not. When you look at the mess some of our previous managers have made of offering contracts and the different views everyone has on whether a player is worthy of a contract or not and the value of the contract as well as length - it can go seriously wrong - I will offer Vassell and Bacuna as well as the Macakay twins as evidence 🤣🤣
However do agree with the number of fans who maybe shouting out random names this Saturday and for a few games to come
Can't wait - it is going to be nothing short of a magical mystery ride as usual 👍
Rubin is a talent waiting to be unleashed and Steve Morison knows him better than most, remember Mick sending him on for Moore and saying in an interview he could see a striker in him ??
Rubin is the tallest outfield player in the squad (over 6'4" - just above Cedric Kipre). We don't have to play with high balls to a big front man, but Morison is making a big deal (rightly) of the crosses our new wingers should produce for strikers, and to have Rubin in the mix to get on the end of them would be a bonus. That said I have never associated Rubin Colwill with headed goals.
But the point is that he may have to adapt and re-invent his role to be effective in this team. There may be a No 9 in there?
People are not taking any account of the fact that we have signed probably around £10m of players for nothing in terms of transfer fees. To me that is a ‘great window’. That doesn't just ‘happen’ either, it takes a lot of hard work and the manager and his staff deserve a great deal of credit for pulling it off.
Maybe Colwill is about to be sold to pay for established/proven striker or even strikers in plural!
Is this why we haven’t seen him?
Maybe closer to that based on pre covid player values, the Championship has changed though, the majority of players no longer comand a transfer value, they are just a wage cost liabilty.
Unless any of them are exceptional I doub't they will move on with any large sort of transfer fees, but it will be interesting to see what happens tp player values in the future?
Colwill is very tall, taller than Mick half way down the page. He's at least 6'2

SM in the press conference just now:
Colwill?
"He just did his hamstring the last moment of the Scotland trip, the same as Isaak, he owes us a pre-season. We can’t fast track them because they are too important for the season."
