Exciting signing. Hopefully if he stays fit, should be a really good signing. Just need a first choice left back before next weekend and I will be confident going to Leeds (any more signings would be a bonus).
I'd say 4 is about right. I agree about Vicente but we do need to replace Bridge, Lopez and Hammond. The fourth, in my view, should be a player to play in the front three (either winger or striker as said earlier) unless Oscar has real faith in March, Barker and Dickenson.
Barnes played wide of a front three with Dickenson up front yesterday and Orlandi played at the front of the midfield three so it still leaves you a bit short in the front three, depending on how much faith you have in Dickenson, Barker and March.
That is kind of my point. I think we certainly need one more player for the front three. Whether it is a centre forward with Barnes playing wide still or the wide player you mention meaning Barnes is sub for Ulloa, I definitely think we need one more. Of course, if we replace Lopez, we also have...
Sounds promising. Is very soon tomorrow/Tuesday? I think if we went to Leeds with Agustien and a new left back, we would be okay initially with no injuries. Could do with 2 or 3 more before the window closes though.
But Barnes is often played wide in a 3 man forward line so that leaves you with only youngsters as back up until CMS and Hoskins get fit. Assuming Orlandi is going to play the advanced role in the 3 man midfield (not as one of the 3 forwards as he did at times last season), that leaves you with...
As has been said elsewhere, when competing with clubs who have parachute payments, we have to gamble on players like Agustien. Not all of them will come off but it seems that every comment (even if they don't rate him as highly as you) says that he will be a good player if we can sort out injury...
Sounds like an interesting signing. If we could get him fit and playing, he sounds like an improvement on Hammond. Would fit well into our style too as he comes from Swansea.
Andy Naylor doesn't often mention transfers until they are close so hope for some news soon.
