not sure I agree with that, I think the squad was very well balanced for a 433/4231. Obviously talking quantity wise, rather than quality.Cafc43v3r said:

I feel slightly sorry for Gunter, in that at the moment he only seems to play as the left sided CB of the 3, rather than the right sided CB where he's more comfortable. After all he only lost his place there due to his Welsh callup as he had been playing well there.
So many of the intangibles are missing. We have 25ish good players (I don't think any of them are awful) but we don't have a great team, the right balance or the right blend. We have 8 players who have no realistic cover in the squad and need at least 6 of them on the pitch to get results. That's piss poor.1 -
Think we are pretty balanced depth wise.
Only area where we are short is striker and another natural centre back maybe a another attacking mid someone who can dictate the tempo.
Most squads aim for 2 players per position based on a 4-4-2 then add a extra centre back & centre mid which I agree with because that gives you options to go with 3 in the middle and cover injuries/suspensions.
Of course based on current 3-1-4-2 system we are overloaded with wide options having to convert a couple of players to play centre back and play deeper in a wide-midfield/wing-back role.

Is this a Villa thread ?cafcfan1990 said:
They've got lots of decent attacking players but did like that final bit of quality. Missing Grealish, Buendia been ok and Bailey not done much. Luiz and McGinn pretty decent in midfield but agree they need another one, Sanson has been a flop.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Digne apparently wasn't interested in going to Newcastle.
Will be a good signing for Villa, him and Coutinho down the left will be very dangerous. Think they're probably a top centre back and central midfielder away from being serious top 6 contenders next year.
Digne signing weird, they've got Targett with Young as cover.3 -
As the OP i can say that it was intended to be a Charlton specific thread, but organically it's expanded, and you know, the internet has it's own will.sam3110 said:

Young is only on a 1 year deal and is 37 this summer, so i guess the plan will be to rotate Digne and Targett. Besides if you can sign a French international full back for 25m then why not?1 -

In terms of we have x right backs and y midfielders it is. Once you actually get into the what's and who's it quickly falls apart.cafcfan1990 said:

5 right footed wide players, for example. There are dozens of other examples.0 - Sponsored links:

Wonder if we will go back in for Tucker and Oliver at Gillingham .. both targets in the summer only to be quoted over a million for each … now with Gillingham where they are in the league and a tax bill that now due reckon we could get both for 700,000 now …

Unfortunately need to find someone to take one of them (Would prefer to keep Matthews)SELR_addicks said:If Clare is happy playing in that role we really need to get rid of Gunter or Matthews. One of them as a reserve but having two is just a waste of a squad space.
Cant see us terminating deals, wont look good trying to sign anyone1 -
Bolton been linked to Kyle Dempsey. Be interesting if we go back in for him.2

I think our transfers will be dependant on the next 2 results. A lot of our targets will also be targets for clubs in the play offs/above us. Also TS might not want to spend any money if we’re not in a position to be promoted. Potentially winning the next 2 games could change that.However, as Jacko said a month ago everything with COVID means owners won’t risk spending loads and getting loans will be harder as Prem clubs won’t loan fringe players.I’d be surprised if we sign more than 2 players.0

From the BBCNo Dean Henderson on the Manchester United bench tonight.Told he is not injured but isn't being risked.The obvious conclusion is that a loan move is being lined up.
It'll be interesting where he goes2 -
I logged onto their website just before kick off to see our starting 11 and got that. Did make me chuckle.TheAddicks4Ever said:FFS playing a full back as a Striker 🤷🏻♂️2 -

Was it because he was the top goalscorer in the starting 11 so somebody naturally thought he must be the striker.LargeAddick said:

The defence was very well balanced, 2 for each position, including 2 left and 2 right footers at CB. CM pretty decent, lacked cover for Lee but Morgan was clearly fancied more than he should have been. Same with Davison up top.0 - Sponsored links:

True enough, just think it would be better spent on a CB and/or a CM. Either way, decent enough business and squad is starting to look top 10 material.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

They've also had to pay off Steve Evans this week, although not sure how long he had left on his contract.RonnieMoore said:Wonder if we will go back in for Tucker and Oliver at Gillingham .. both targets in the summer only to be quoted over a million for each … now with Gillingham where they are in the league and a tax bill that now due reckon we could get both for 700,000 now …0 -
