Nibor Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Today at the Question and Answer he said he wants too replace McCombe, Hartley and Orr, so thats 3, he wants a 3rd goalkeeper, 4, A left sided player to address the inbalance, 5, and at least 1 striker, 6. So he actually did say it. There is a difference between "I want" and "I will". I'm sure he does want 6-8 more players, I'm damn certain he won't sign six by the end of August because he won't find players good enough available to us to fit all those holes. It's best not to have unrealistic expectations because those are what lead to you being optimistic one minute and concerned the next. Building a Steve Coppell team is a job that will not be completed until at the earliest, next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 6 coming in ? I was accused on panicking yesterday, it will be atleast 5 I reckon more. We will see. The lot we have at the moment aren't good enough but I won't start again. As SC said today, we have only about 5 players FIT that were in the team at the end of last season. The team proved they were good enough at the end of last season. Once there all fit and we get a couple left sided players we will be fine.Gary Johnson made a complete mess with an unbalenced squad and SC has to pick up the pieces. By the way, i sat there patiently today waiting for your questions to SC.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 WBA have had 3 bids for Prestons GK rejected, one assumes they're not going to bid £3M+ to have him as a no 2 ?!! Doesn't make me think WE are getting Carson mind you, more likely he'd go another Prem club. Kiely is their GK coach having semi retired last season.

Hartleysbeard Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Michael Johnson?!! That's ****ing hilarious. I would literally piss my pants if we signed him. He's miles better than half our players and when he inevitably does leave Eastlands it will be for a prem side. Where do they get this crap from?!

Hartleysbeard Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Oh and regarding potential keeper signing it won't be a big name. SC reckons it's neck and neck between Gerka and Hendo so he won't be looking for a first choice keeper, he'll be after cover for these two.

Saying that Gerken and Henderson are neck and neck doesn't mean anything about how SC rates either. It just means there isn't much to choose between them. Personally I would think he will definitely be looking for a first choice keeper, though it certainly won't be David James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleysbeard Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 You're right Nibor but I just don't see it happening that way. I am confident that Gerken will be no. 1 for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without meaning to be harsh on the lad, I hope not. I think we need a stronger first choice myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 After listening to Steve Coppell's Q and A today, he mentioned different positions he is looking to bring players in. He mentioned: GK - he preferably wants 3 RB - too replace Orr CB - too replace McCombe CM - too replace Hartley LM - to solve the inbalance ST - at least one So we maybe signing 2 strickers altogether, possible a LB aswell. He also mentioned how he has already asked about some players, and may bring some people in on loan even though he dislikes it. He mentioned Fergie about this one, so maybe some Man U youngsters. He said they will be released on loan next week as the world cup players are coming back now so the youngsters are not needed for pre-season anymore. Im quite excited about the future now! http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/127962-man-united-loanees/page__p__1248410__fromsearch__1#entry1248410 Fergie has already said Welbeck and Cleverley will go to Premier League teams on loan so no chance of either of those If we loaned anyone from Man Utd it would most likely be - Craig Cathcart, Corry Evans, Ritchie De Laet or Mame Biram Diouf http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/127962-man-united-loanees/page__p__1248410__fromsearch__1#entry1248410 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was not the case otherwise we would of signed them now........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Oh and regarding potential keeper signing it won't be a big name. SC reckons it's neck and neck between Gerka and Hendo so he won't be looking for a first choice keeper, he'll be after cover for these two. Yeah I read it like that too. Guess you could only really tell if you were there with the guy though. I'm wondering if he see's the number 1 jersey to be won and lost by Henderson/Gerken then why not blood an academy keeper? I agree with the general consesus that Gerken's downfalls are indecision whilst Henderson is relatively untested (over the course of a season) which means we need a keeper that has neither of these problems, finding one for the right price at a good age will be difficult though - I don't believe RW would be an improvement (imo). For me though, far more pressing issues are getting in a commanding centre half and a versatile left sided player in the mould of Gareth Bale who can operate as a full back/wing back or winger. obviously we can't get some of the bigger names but perhaps with the new scouting team we could unearth a talented lefty from the lower leagues?
