Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

We are probably paying out a fair bit more in wages though which is being ignored amidst all the "Our net spend is zero/-£10m" talk. 

Nas and Wes might feel that Dean has to produce results with the funding put in so far.

But the problem is there is a serious issue with the midfield that I think Ratboy was papering over the cracks of. If the owners baulk at any further spending then I suspect we'll revert to lower mid table this season and I can see Watkins off to Spuds, for starters, once they have £120M + for Kane :-(

Cheers for the comedy, needed a laugh after the disappointing result earlier.

As we knew midfield addition(s) are a must.

My concern is that we were saying this about a backup for Ollie last season, and Smith stuck with it. We were also saying the same about midfield last season for that matter, but we had a world class player that masked the issue most of the time.

I suspect the club is looking for a better DM as plenty of links lately, lets hope we get one and they hit the ground running.

Also I think we need to replace Terry, as the defence was appalling today.

[PaulWinch again]

JWP would immediately help solve our problems with pressing the opposition.

[pelty]

Watching Cantwell and he looks gash. Certainly not worth the money being quoted.

Our midfield is best appraised as total wank.

I think you can always tell what a manager feels about his midfield by the amount of long ball the team plays. Villa play quite a bit.

In fairness it does have to go across the Back line 3 or four times first
and back to the goalkeeper a few more times before that long ball is played

[sickbeggar]

Just dropping the 4-2-3-1 wank would help enourmously

Buendia and Bailey are going to be our go to wide options with Traore and Ghazi as backup. At that point, our central options need addressing. A holding mid and a real 8/10 that can carry a threat and create. We were horrible today.

Then who do you play out of ollie and mings?

[Clark W Griswold]

I’m not altogether sure we can play Watkins, Ings, Buendia and Bailey all at the same time unless we’re chasing a game and I’m pretty damn sure Watkins and Ings will both be in the team usually, unless the plan is to rotate the 4 for 3 positions. Buendia will have to up his game to justify being picked over the other 3 based on today though.

[PaulWinch again]

I wouldn’t leap to judge Buendia, he’s a cracking player.
