I’m looking for more than about 4 from a CM to be honest. 5 from two of your three CMs isn’t great. Puts so much pressure on the attacking players. It’s been a problem for us for years now.balham red said:
JFC can definitely chip in with goalscafcfan1990 said:
I'm not "writing it off", just don't agree it has the potential to be a great midfield. Fraser can score goals but I think he'll need someone also capable of chipping in next to him. We probably also need a bit of energy/presence. Either way, if you're going to play a 3 then we need plenty of options anyway, so need one quality addition.balham red said:
I'd like to see Dobson JFC and Fraser for more than 1 game before writing it off. I think its got the makings of a great midfield.cafcfan1990 said:
I think it's fine, after all in a midfield three you're going to have two players with the same preferred foot. I don't think Dobson, JFC and Fraser work though. I'd have Dobson in front of the defence and then someone alongside Fraser supporting the front three. That player needs to be capable of chipping in with goals. I'd then have JFC as cover for both Dobson and Fraser.JamesSeed said:I’ve got a weird thing against having two left footers in midfield in the side at the same time. It just doesn’t seem right somehow?1 -
So if there are replacements. Based on the rumours these are the gaps. I haven't included Burstow, Castillo or John.
Gunter =
Matthews =

Famewo =
Pearce =
Watson = Bostock?
Washington = Marquis?
Leko =
Lee is he signing?2 -
The argument is about how effective Aneke is, despite his lack of minutes. I’d rather an Aneke than a Bogle, wouldn’t you?addick1956 said:
Why introduce Bogle... that is not the argument.cafcfan1990 said:
He done a lot more in his "25 minutes" than Bogle did starting. I appreciate you've got a real issue with a player not being able to start, I actually get that, but surely you can understand it's all about what he does when he is on the pitch? Ultimately, that is what determines whether he's successful and whether he's an asset.addick1956 said:
He struggles to play 25 minutes. Perhaps he makes up for it by working from home ?😃cafcfan1990 said:
Aneke played 31 times last season, which was 6 more games than Bostock. The season before he played 41, 23 times more than Bostock. You have to go back to 2016/2017 to find a season where Bostock played more games than Aneke.addick1956 said:
We saw Aneke how many times and how many of those were 90 mins ?cafcfan1990 said:
As usual, that's incorrect.addick1956 said:
Your last statement is on the way to making him a scape goat 🐐.Scoham said:
No one has made Bostock a scapegoat. Having doubts about whether a player relegated with Doncaster who also spent a lot of time out injured would be a good signing isn’t scapegoating at all. We already have two players in Inniss and Aneke who struggle to play twice a week, Bostock would likely be another.addick1956 said:
Well said... it is not as though he cannot play so why make a scape goat of him before he arrives and plays.FishCostaFortune said:Our owner wants us to play possession based dynamic passing football, it is likely we are going to be bringing in a young progressive manager whose team had the number one stats in the relevant areas in league last season.Why wouldn’t we be linked with a player, on a free, who had the 4th highest pass success rate in the league last year, and by all means is a local lad and player we have looked to sign in the past?
Does not seem that out there a bit of business to me.
He certainly plays more regularly than Sick note Aneke.
Admittedly, Aneke does struggle to play 90 minutes but the fact is he impacts games regardless of whether he starts or not. That's the stat that really matters, not how long he plays for.
I have a problem with a player who can not start or cannot finish a game but this bloke cost £300k . How many minutes did he do at Birmingham ? The number of games may be immaterial if it is low and ask yourself this. Bowyer was quick to return him but why ?Him costing 300k is not Aneke’s fault.Why introduce Birmingham, that is not the argument. They are in the league above, I don’t care how effective he was there, I only care about how good he is for us in League 1. He’s proven how good he can be, that’s a fact.3 -
Except the number of games is NOT low. That's exactly the point. He doesnt start and finish whole games but he actually played in a lot of them, and what he achieved in less time is easily comparable to a Washington style runner who covers lots of ground but has poorer records of goals/assists in relative terms.addick1956 said:

Exactly. It’s undeniably a bit frustrating he cannot play a little longer but at least he gets the opportunity to have an impact on a lot of games. That’s still invaluablethenewbie said:

When Chucks has started I don’t think he has been effective as when he comes on as a sub. Maybe because he feels the need to pace himself?cafcfan1990 said:

He is still good from the start, but as a sub against defenders that have been on all game he has the pace to get in behind which adds a lot to his game that he doesn’t have from the start. He’s the best sub in the league and when he’s used as just that he is fit for most of the season. He turns draws into wins and losses into draws, I can’t believe there is any criticism of a signing like that and he is probably the only player in our squad other than maybe Dobson that every other team in the league would want as part of their squadRedrobo said:

Aneke could score 20 goals in league 1 without starting a game. For a team that struggled to find other sources of goals last season it would be stupid to turn that down13

I'd say he has the ability and guile to get in behind, rather than pace.0

Ok so how many minutes has Bostock played compared to Aneke over the last few years? You said Bostock "certainly plays more than sicknote Aneke". What are the stats then?addick1956 said:
And her was me thinking it was about Bostock's fitness and Aneke's fitness. It is patently obvious why I introduced his short stay at Birmingham. You raised his record for last season and included the games he appeared in there when many were no bigger than a hobgoblin Cameo broach.cafcfan1990 said:

I then mentioned thst Bowyer prised him from his bond of loyalty to us who nurtured him through 2 seasons of mostly inactive wage claiming and then promptly threw him back when he realised he was not up to it. Then we were further mugged by our own star struck delusions by having to pay £300k and take another equally ineffective player on loan from Chelsea.
That meant another 2 wage bills, one of which actually did less than Aneke.0 -

Huddersfield seem to have changed their strategy in recent years, targeting far more British lower league players rather than foreign ones, when you compare their current side with the one which got promoted to the PL.
