It did occur to me that Goldson was short on match practice and he could go out on loan? This would mean signing another central defender. I would not rule this out ??
Coming on 30 and nearly past it?
Its all very tired , older players that have been around long time.
I like the sound of younger players better;
Abraham
Che Adams
Johansen
Not that i am particularity enthusiastic about loan players.
Gibbs will be on £60K a week.
Lualua would have to be replaced. Not like for like. Currently both him an Ince make the squad on numbers and they still would do if we signed another striker (instead of Manu).
We easily qualify for the home grown quota. Walton is 22 so he would use up one place in the 25 man squad. Hints are...
Aside: Huddersfield last season had most of their squad assembled on 1st July 2017, giving the new players time to integrate. Probably will not be possible for Brighton, and for Newcastle, Bournemouth etc. Early signings are likely to be first choice targets though.
Rumours will up the silly...
Marshall showed his reaction saves capability with a succession of saves at the Amex. Not sure how he deals with crosses or his distribution though? Marshall not having a good time at Hull because of Jakupovic. I'm not sure of we are having two keepers (probable) or three? With Walton out on...
If Kazenga Lualua was fit, I would prefer him to Skalák as he provides something different. Lualua is more an athlete than Skalák. For Lualua if he learned to run into space and was nearer the penalty area he would be a continual threat (more threat than reality). Skalák is in the last year of...
George Friend looks like a younger Stephen Ward but he is 29, the same age as Pocognoli and Bong and I think we will go for a younger player?
If we got a left sided defensive midfielder he could slot in as defensive cover when we are under pressure and allow Dunk to take the ball out of...
Oliver Burke £10 million worth?
Overall
Consensus is much the same.
It is arguable whether a new winger is high priority. Jamie Murphy played well OK against Reading and I'm not sure how much worse they are compared to the negative goal difference PL sides in midfield.
Three seasons in the play-offs and then automatic promotion. But the new signings could not keep them up. This is Cardiff.
I think we might have to play mostly the bulk of the squad we already have as anything more than four signings is gonna be signing expensive duds. More like Burnley and...
We still need a speed merchant to make the opposition play deep and discourage rampaging full-backs. Give the opposition something to worry about and come up with an occasional goal (more goals than injuries). Who? Even the new improved Baldock is not quick enough to worry Championship defences...
It does seem that the limitations of a 25 man squad is a strong disincentive for keeping players with injury problems (unfair), and does very little to encourage young players coming through.
Otherwise there seems to a rough consensus of where the weaknesses lie. I don't know which players can...
I think most PL squads include 3 keepers. Bournemouth do.
The only exceptions to the recall rule is regarding goalkeepers and development squad. Goalkeepers CAN be recalled to a parent club on 24 hours notice if there are not two fit stoppers at the club. Additionally, clubs can still bring...
