Guest Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 It's crazy really how we need 5 players. I hope LJ has learnt to only buy or loan in technical players that have pace and energy. Don't even bother with big lumps with dodgy first touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will always take the most negative angle possible won’t you. It may have escaped your notice but we’ve only just sold Webster for £20m. That opens up all sorts of possibilities that wouldn’t have been an option without that money. The transfer market is not like a trip to Tesco. Often we are waiting on a domino effect from other transfers - like the Webster sale - or other factors controlled by other clubs. The timing is not entirely in our control and often things only really start moving as the deadline approaches. This club has improved every season for five years whilst selling players we thought were irreplaceable at the time. At least try to find some perspective. Maybe even allow yourself to be excited by the prospect of new arrivals this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing he had to get the £22m outgoing from Webster first before bringing them in? Which isn’t really his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Messengo, Nkeitah, CDM, CB and RB. Can’t disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have someone in mind who is better than what we have I am for it. Creativity still looks a problem though think we could look much better with a Paterson Palmer and Eliasson behind the striker. Think we could all agree that another of superior quality would be welcome. I wish we had went out a got Costa or Cavaliero. They went to good clubs but think we need that type of quality over anything else. Need to stop wasting money on Weimann, Hunt and Watkins types. Solid pros but don’t have the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a constant evolution at all clubs. Not to mention the fact that players do actually age and need replacing. During the same period we’ve sold players he would almost certainly have rather held onto but wasn’t able to keep through no fault of his own. And all the while we’ve continuously improved our league position. Also - the targets change as the ambition and financial clout increases. Players we couldn’t previously consider may now become realistic targets. Likewise players we previously considered great signings suddenly look a little below us (Baker for example).

chowie Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 So if Massengo is not the Pack/CDM player, then we desperately need those other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds, Forest etc have been big fish in this league for years. They know how to operate with those expectations. Think we are still learning how to be a “bigger” club.

Cowshed Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Just now, BobBobSuperBob said: I was staggered by that ‘performance’ tbh Cowshed I wasn't. Defensive shape and lines. Leeds play out through their CB and the team allowed them to penetrate them again and again. It was an was easy ride because the two players in that zone where? Diedhiou and Palmer. There was no screen, no compactness because the two players have virtually no tactical know how to carry out the task. And don't even think about the two pressing = The have no defensive intensity. Predictable. Movement they don't have … Predictable. Webster gone. Whacking it back to front? Predictable. And on this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s this ‘learning to be a bigger club’ Joe What has that got to do with putting out eleven players , who look prepared , and appear to recognise each other , in some form of cohesive plan after four years in charge ?
