Winger is an interesting one. I really really hope Kirk comes good and shows what he can do. I can't see someone like a McKirdy coming to be a rotational piece with CBT and DJ so possibly a winger that can also play central if needed as one of the loan slots? I know it didn't work out last season with Leko but someone with the flexibility to play across a front 3 would probably be my target.0

Pleased we are starting from the back with our signings. Strong believe that promotion is build on a strong defence. Obviously still lacking in plenty of areas but we look to be in a good place with first pre-season game tomorrow.J BLOCK said:Building a solid team, if we can get another 3 perm and strong loans, we are set to compete properly.3 -
So far so good with 4 good solid additions to what was a shaky defence, and looks like on decent 3 year contracts, so a new LB and strong mobile striker should be next, certainly a new intent being shown so far..4

With the Pope money, and players signed only for wages and signing on fees, I sincerely hope it doesn’t mean Dobbo leaving.
I actually hope there is still some money for a nippy, waspish goalscorer.

Have we got a talisman?0

Young attacking full back, the league 2 goalkeeper of the season and 2 players who were captain at their previous club. What's weak about them?masicat said:Weak signings and on the cheap. As predicted.

Pretty sure he's another just on a wind up these days... Possibly has been since the "Algerian and a Belgian" days.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

He scored goals regardless of position for the u18s. Assuming we’ll play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 we probably need one of the wide forwards to be scoring double figures, it’s a big step up but I think it’s worth exploring whether he can offer that at first team level. I wouldn’t want him used as a lone striker and I’m not sure we should be playing two up front just to fit him as he starts to break through.Valley11 said:
Know what you’re saying but I wouldn’t want us to switch a young out and out goalscorer to a winger in senior football. Seen that happen before over the years with the likes of Kim Grant. It dilutes that natural goal scoring ability as they adapt to a slightly different role.Scoham said:
I’d like one too, though in Kanu (spent time playing out wide for the u18s) and Campbell we’ve got two great prospects and they can be eased into the first team by coming off the bench.J BLOCK said:Still think we’re a winger short2 -

Going to depend massively on whether Garner wants to play 433 or 352. We learnt the hard way that wingers and wingbacks and very different roles. Egbo looks well suited to RWB and CBT did okay at LWB (good going forward but suspect defensively).0

Solid start but forwards are now a priority for me, a side with just Stockley, Aneke and Davison up front won't trouble the top 6.12

4-3-3 has definitely made the number 10 redundant. After Courtino left Liverpool, they changed to a 4-3-3 and became more successful without him; Plus they got a fortune for him.
You don't play two wingers and number 9 in a 3 as we tried early last season when in August we struggled to even create a chance from open play. DJ would need to improve so much in the box to get one of the 3 positions up front. Somehow you copy Liverpool's 3 forwards who can all drift wide to receive the ball but can also be deadly down the middle. Karlan Grant type forward after he came back from loan at Crawley and could play wide and down the middle.
Taylor was decent wide and central as well.
CBT can play in a 3 up front and he would be the wide man on the left or right and the other two should play slightly closer together as this is the 3rd tier not Championed League. I expect Corey to have plenty of assists and also more goals.
Garner is going for younger legs and the age of our squad will continue to fall. At League 1 level if Conor Mc and Dobbo can emulate Rice and Phillips in the Euros when instead of being two holding midfielders they had plenty of movement and Phillips even got caught off side a couple of time in first game then this revolution may start to happen.1 -
He's going to play 4-2-3-1
Dobbo and McGrandlesbistogravy will be the "2"2 -
Stockley isn’t a forward to play in the Liverpool / Man City 4-3-3 Not skilful enough with his feet and not quick enough.soapboxsam said:4-3-3 has definitely made the number 10 redundant.

If we are looking to play a 433 then left back and an extra right winger are two glaring holes in our squad. If 352 then an extra striker and a wing back. After that it will be a case of bolstering the squad with bodies and bench options really.

I wonder if Oguntayo is ready to be back up LB yet? If so could be just one LB needed.1

Nicky Cadden would be the ideal left wing back, sadly I think he will end up in the championship10

He's also recovering from a long term injury, so you could be right. I expect Castillo to be our next permanent signingsam3110 said:
I would imagine if he was in the running for a regular squad spot, he would have travelled to Spain ahead of Leaburn or ClaydenDazzler21 said:I wonder if Oguntayo is ready to be back up LB yet? If so could be just one LB needed.

Close the thread!
Not a sniff of any of the recent signings as far as I can see. Cawley also had the light switched off.5 -
Not saying they were, but do we think any of the recent leakers could have been people that have now been sacked?
A lot of rumours were leaked and not once had any substance so far. Traps set by Sandgaard maybe?

If he does, and I like the idea, I think we’ll need a new attacking central midfielder. Unlike some I rate Fraser very highly but I don’t think he fits with the need for pace and goal threat in that role.supaclive said:He's going to play 4-2-3-1

Flyod and Harvey leaking potential transfers, really @Dazzler21 we expect so much more from CL admin!Dazzler21 said:Not saying they were, but do we think any of the recent leakers could have been people that have now been sacked?

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I think JFC has played LB for us before, and did well. Wonder if that's the plan for the coming season.1
