Osh will have to do as backup unless we find a rare player who can play 2 positions, both full back positions, cb and rb or rb and rm.0

I'd rather Deji at RB than CB, I prefer my CBs to be more steadyjacob_CAFC said:I put RB in as what happens if Gunter gets injured? Is Deji good enough to do the job for us there? I'm not convinced.

No doubt Bowyer and Gallen are working through their wish list.killerandflash said:
Washington is another player he wanted last year, while Maddison is someone we wanted in January! A bit of a trend hereSteveKielyCambridge said:Great signing. Throughout all this, I just really want to see Bowyer get the players that he could reasonably want, to be given the chance that he deserves to succeed. It seems very apparent that Gunter is someone that he has wanted for some time, so I am all for it.
One thing though, it seems to be last season's Championship wish list - trying to build a team that not only can challenge for promotion in L1 ...... but with sufficient quality to be the nucleus of a side in the Championship next season.

I've tweeted Rich Cawley in a desperate attempt to be able to post something as "ITK" but I fear that train has left the station.
Can you see what I did there?0 -
expect our striker signing to be Kezman then ....killerandflash said:

Gunter a good signing.
Now the two real key areas to get sorted.
A CB
A CF1 -
I'd imagine all those positions are a priority if the right player becomes available at the right price.Lazy_eye_metaphor said:

I think we need a striker and a RCB as a priority. If we can bring in a good striker then we've got Aneke as back up to come on as needed, but I think we should be looking to do better than Deji at CH so I'd like to see us fill that ahead of getting a second striker. From there we still need a winger and preferably another LB, though Purrington is good at this level

Minimum requirement:
CB, CF
Ideally:
CB, LB, CM, CF, CF17 -
I thought Purrington did a good job last week at CB before he was moved to LB, perhaps Bowyer sees that as his better position and brings in Koikai as natural LB?3

Depends on the gameplan, with attacking fullbacks/wingbacks ....... it could work.Showmetheway2gohome said:Purrington played CB or sweeper first 30 minutes against Sunderland bowyer might see this as a new position for him.so koikai new left back.
I always think a central defender needs to be a strong header of the ball. Purrington has decent enough ability on the ground, but weak in the air.
But then you could say the same thing about Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer!

Would be satisfied to see something like:
Koiki - competition for Purrington
Right Sided CB
Striker
I was gonna add in another midfielder but if its more of a wide attacker, that could be done in exchange for letting someone like Lapslie of JFC go on loan. As we have enough of these relatively vanilla CMs. And I think it would benefit them both.
So that would leave:
GK - Amos / AMB
RB - Gunter / Oshilaja
LB - Purrington / Koiki
RCB - NEW / Oshilaja (frankly Pratley is an option here at L1 level)
LCB - Pearce / Famewo
DM - Watson / Pratley
CM - Levitt / Gilbey / Morgan / JFC
AM - Williams / Oztumer / Maddison / Doughty
ST - NEW / Washington / Aneke / Davison
EDIT - Looking at that we may see 4 or 5 in - but Lapslie / JFC going out on loan. JFC in particular needs a loan to have any hope of getting back to what he was pre injury.
EDIT 2 - Forgot Doughty! In that case defo see Lapslie and JFC on loan, and with wages being an issue - need to go all in on just the RCB and ST now really.

2x Strikers are a must + 1 defensive player.
We can probably get away with a minimum of 1 defensive player. Either a second RB and have Deji purely as our main centre half, or a centre half only and can use Deji as back up right up.
Doesn’t sound like Peace will be back for a month or so. Personally, would priorities the budget on the two up front as think Pratley, Barker etc will be sufficient cover if we end up with some injuries or suspensions.0 -
Be nice if we can get a second Striker so Davison can go on loan, I think thats the thinking behind Bowyer wanting a second one inDamoNorthStand said:Would be satisfied to see something like:

Davison as showing this season with the U23s really will benefit more from a League Two loan rather than getting a handful of first team games here and there1 -
Proper 50p noggin.killerandflash said:2 strikers
1 CB
After that we still need an extra defender at least, as that would leave us
1 LB (+ Doughty and Famewo)
4 CBs (+ Pratley)
1 RB (+ Oshilaja)
With an extra LB (Koiki), Purrington could play in the centre as CB cover I guess0 -
I would play Doughty as a left wing back. Our priority has to be a striker and then another one.2

I don't think Dubai can get away with counting Ged Roddy as a signing, we need some moderation please @Dazzler21

It really does depend on how Bowyer intends to play as well. If we're sticking with the 4-3-3 then we have Doughty, Washington and Maddison and need another. I'm always nervous of listing players twice when we talk about squad depth, as that only works if you have hardly any injuries, which is never the case with us, so there's a lack of cover at the back. We're a bit better set up to stick with the diamond, but I get the feeling Bowyer wants to move past that a bit

Since TS took over we have signed:
Ben Watson
Marcus Maddison
Chris Gunter
Not forgetting Famewo, you won't see many league one clubs signing three players of that pedigree.80 -

Agree with this, it's an important point.Garrymanilow said:I'm always nervous of listing players twice when we talk about squad depth, as that only works if you have hardly any injuries, which is never the case with us, so there's a lack of cover at the back.
If a player can play 2 positions well, it's a useful feature during the game for tactical reasons.
But if a player is consistently playing well in his own specialist position, then you don't really want to take him out of that to put him elsewhere in the team.
That can cause disruption to his own game and those who normally play along side him, especially in defence.
We've also seen with Pratley playing CB ....... he's done well enough there in the circumstances, but he's not a specialist CB.
And we've missed his bite, determination and ball winning energy in midfield.
Far better to have a utility man who can step in and plug various positions, if you're short of a specialist back up player for a particular position, rather than upset the rhythm and consistency of the team.

Didn't we play 3 at the back against Sunderland with Purrington on the left side of the 3?Cafc43v3r said:

The problem with 433 is it needs a very specific type of striker. One we currently don't have. Getting one AND a back up for them would be nearly impossible wouldn't it?Garrymanilow said:It really does depend on how Bowyer intends to play as well.

Plus we currently only have Maddison and Doughty for the wide positions.
If Bowyer is set on 433 it wouldn't surprise me if Williams or Oztumer went to make room for more compatible players.1 -
You can play Doughty at left back with two centre halves but I think we can also play three centre halves with players we have.Cafc43v3r said:
