Thread: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

  1. #1

    What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    These are the three signings I think we need the most going forward.

    1: A tough as nails CB, similar in profile to Goutas who will not be bullied off the ball, is rough and tumble, will get up immediately after getting down and is used to the scraps of lower Leagues.

    2: A LB cover for Bagan. Collins and Rinomhota are both gone, and we're screwed if Bagan gets injured or suspended, and Bagan is a card magnet. Obviously, the higher quality, the better.

    3: A winger with quality crossing and ability to playmake. One that is adaptable to play either wing is ideal, but we can make it work. I'd personally pair him with Ashford, with Davies and Tanner as substitute options. Willock can be a reserve/in emergency, break glass for the season.

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    I think we need a starting LB with Bagan being cover.

    at least one winger.

    A combative mobile central midfielder - I know the CBs have looked pretty ropey, in both games, but I think that's partly because our midfield can be very porous

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    I think we could do with a full back who could play on both sides, a centreback who is an organiser and can cope with the physical side of things, the sort of winger you talk about and, if, as I suspect we will, we sell a midfielder, then we’ll need someone to come in there as well.

    Yeah, I'm happy with Bagan being cover, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if Bagan is the starter. Depends how much we're willing to spend, but I'm obviously happy if we get someone better in.

    I think Joel has looked quite good in being combative so far, I think the midfield is the strongest part of our team at the moment, it's just about getting consistent performances and putting in effort every game.

    Absolute priority is a CB.

    Even if we don't sign anybody id start to worry about BBM if Chambers lines up there next game.

    I think to challenge for the play offs we need at least another 4 straight in the team players all over the pitch.

    I dont think the clowns will back the manager though.

    However CB he should be kicking in their door demanding a dominant player.

    A leader, I don’t care where they play

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    According to our manager/coach..

    "So we want to buy goalkeeper and one other, then the other two will probably be loans.

    "We don't really need that many new players. I think the squad is pretty good."


    I think he said previously he was waiting for PL clubs to finalise their squads before making approaches for loans, but I'd doubt they're going to be anything special, most with league experience that are available will go to PL or Championship clubs. Which leaves ONE signing.

    The emergency position is CB. It was criminal last how PV won nearly all the set piece delivery into our box. If I was Darren Moore I would be pissed off that at least one of them didn't go in.

    Got better when Fish came on but Chambers seems like an accident waiting to happen. We need a dominant CH to play along side Fish

    Definitely need a strong CB to play alongside Lawlor or Fish or maybe both in some games, Chambers is not what we need right now
    A LB who can play on the right if needed
    A winger who can beat a defender and put a decent cross in
    We could also do with a domineering striker as cover for Salech, almost like a LFW no nonsense no fear operator who can let an opposing defender know that he’s there, Salech is going to be targeted no doubt about that and we need someone who can help lighten the load for him
    Wycombe used to have a big lump up front who looked like he could really handle himself, he’s name escapes me now but that sort of target man

    4 players for me:
    1 - Strong CB who can organise the rest of the defence
    2 - Strong CM who can influence the game
    3 - Another left back as we only have one
    4 - Pacy winger

    1&2 need to be older and experienced, 3&4 could be young loanees.

    And a strong centre forward who can deputise for Salech.

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    2 for me to start

    a gnarly CB and a even Gnarlier CM or CDM

    I stumbled across the Leeds V city FA cup game last night on YouTube, saw kav and thought he would fit in well with what it appears BBM wants and is just want we need at the mo

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    Having said that three of the four teams kicking off at lunchtime have a centre forward starting who is shorter than Robinson.

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    So reading the above, someone for each position.

    My opinion.
    #1 A commanding Centre half (or two) > Daland out
    #2 A winger who can take people on & cross > Willock out
    #3 A left fullback > Collins replacement
    #4 Another centre forward > Etete / Simic replacement

    Think we might need a central midfielder to replace the one that leaves.

    Who's leaving ?

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    At least five players including two veterans with proven leadership skills. One in central defence and one in midfield. There are going to be a lot of tough sides that are going to try to bully us this season. We need a bigger squad. We need men in the team.

    agree with above.

    Bagan has to be the cover for LB.... he's too one dimentional to play a FB the way BBM seems to want. most his passes go to the CB, seems unable to play it down the line or naturally support the attack.

    Wintle in both games so far showed his set peice balls are still poor - whilst he seems a Lg1 DM his quality for a dead ball is non existant. I think Robertson might go so if one comes in, a decent delivery from 40yard freekicks would help

    Re: What do we need going forward, transfer-wise?

    Flipping through some of the games this morning, almost every team has more pace, physicality and moves the ball forward quicker than us.

    Think CB and CM are the two most important positions but also if we don’t get upgrades on the wing I can’t see us doing much.

    I don't know why he's on set piece delivery, it's as balmy as Bulut playing him in the 10 role.
