Today's argus

[brightonmark1234]

this is the squad who is out there Albion in Segovia: Kuszczak; Ankergren; Brezovan; Bruno, Calderon, Greer, El-Abd, Upson, Dunk, Chicksen, Maksmimenko, Ince, Bridcutt, Richards, Crofts, Orlandi, Buckley, LuaLua, Forster-Caskey, March, Ulloa, Barnes, Mackail-Smith, Barker, Dickenson. still need at least 3 more players e.g creative midfielder who will pick a pass in tight games and big strong centre midfielder as i feel we are lightweight in the middle of midfield

I've heard rumours of 2 Spaniards arriving by the weekend and one Brit next week. Nothing concrete though.

Good thing too, concrete players are just a ridiculous idea

 

[somerset]

Where is Agdestein.....is he in the bin?...I was banking on him breaking through this year after being sidelined by Gus.

Agreed, a central and an attacking midfielder....I assume Hammond is not returning, so this will be key positions to resolve.

i feel we were missing a central and an attacking midfielder in some games last season

Albions young guns have been handed a chance to make an early impression on head coach Oscar garcia seven of last season's development squad have travelled to Spain with the senior pros. Solly March, jake forster caskey, George barker and vitality maksimenko are in the 25 strong party in segovia. So too are brennan dickenson, rohan ince and Courtney Richards, the latter, according to an argus source, has made the trip because the proposed signing of a unnamed spanish midfielder has yet to materialise. New capture Adam chicken from mk dons is expected to make his debut against la liga outfit getafe tomorrow night. Liam bridcutt is also with the squad at their base north west of Madrid after nursing a foot injury and sitting out the opening friendly victory at white hawk. Cms has travelled aswell as he continues his recovery from a ruptured achilles. The two significant absentees are injured striker will hoskins and fringe midfielder Ryan Harley, hoskins has stayed behind on medical advice to continue his rehabilitation from cruciate knee ligament damage but Harley still days appear to be numbered after he featured in the whitehawk game. The Albions players were put through their paces by garcia yesterday in 2 training sessions on their first full day in segovia. The development squad are in Portugal for simultaneous 2 match tour.

He sounds lively.

 

[Bladders]

Someone else who can play on the wing wouldn't go amiss either.

 

[MattBackHome]

I still maintain that Hammond was one of the key reasons for our meanness last year and I reckon that a replacement for him is crucial. Agree with Mark that I'd like to see a flair barca B midfielder with skinny legs and floppy hair bamboozling defences too.

And I want The Dagger back,.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that we could do a lot worse than bring Hammond back in as the bite in midfield as I believe that he is a better option than Crofts,m but we still need a brain in there who can pinpoint a pass to set the strikers away obviously not them but a Glen Hoddle or Denis Mortimer type player of yester year.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Would like to see us sign 2 CM's 1 LB and 1 AMR/L. If Oscar thinks some of the DS Squad are able to fill these slots than also more than happy with that.

Same as, and maybe a winger/striker as well if I'm being greedy.

 

[pishhead]

Assuming Oscar plays a similar system to Maccabi we definitely need another strong midfielder, a starter left back, a genuine number 10 plus a versatile wideman.

Hopefully not concrete. We need a bit of movement.

He is there to protect the squad against Spanish stomach upsets.

Keep up.

Was he unfairly sidelined by Gus or was he simply not good enough?

It would be good to see Development Squad players make the first team but they don't have a right to do so unless they are genuinely good enough.

Ah but if they are foreign they HAVE to be better than all our home grown lads and be future world beaters else why would we have brought them in??

 

[DavePage]

Have we ditched Rakels already?

Have we ditched Rakels already?

May have gone to Portugal with rest of DS?
