Atyeo's Love Child Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I wonder if those who said they’d have nothing more to do with the club after Holden’s appointment are now having a change of heart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Even though last season we signed Bents, KP, Kalas, Dasilva, Nagy and Massengo it feels like we've had a better window this year (and the transfer window doesn't close until 16th October).

On paper it looks fantastic. Now we just need to sell and loan out a number of players. And now probably the biggest question is what happens with Fam. Very true. On paper the squad looks decent But the squad looks massively heavy in midfield Now to do it on the pitch where it matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyAB Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Only slight worry is having 4 fit "proper" CBs until Christmas, other than that it's all coming together. Squad needs a trim though, but I'd expect that to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer loan possibly perm Szmodics loan or perm no problem with apparently lots of interest Nagy perm no problem with i imagine foreign clubs having interest in him Bakinson loan to league one Morton loan to league two Midfield options Brunt, Williams, Morrell, Walsh, Massengo, Paterson or Weimann if not up top. That could be bloody good Agree with most of that, but not sure that we’ll want to sell Nagy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically a fine player, but he doesnt offer protection defensively, nor is he particularly dynamic going forwards, and he doesnt carry the goal threat of pato either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing a lot of people write this guy off or tipping him to be the one sold or not involved in first choice midfield. I actually think he could be one of most important players this campaign, now he’s fully fit. There is one hell of a player there for this level.

Does restore a bit of faith in the club. I gotta be honest and I thought my lifelong City love affair was fading a bit, but, naaah, we're City fans, hope springs eternal, COYR, I'm up for it again. I'd only caution that we've seen seemingly great signings not work out, lose form, seem uninterested, sustain horrible injuries in their first game and (once) have to leave after getting into a dressing room punch-up. Let's see a few games before we get really excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Massengo that day were absolutely class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I am a bit meh about most of the signings. Not having a go just not thrilled. Martin - doesn’t make sense to me if Fam is staying. Offered Fam new deal so not sure where minutes will go. Think Famara is better than Martin Brunt - if he plays LCB which I think is possible then all for it. If in midfield who is he taking minutes from? It is not Fifa/FM where all young players get better I get that. That said we have 4 young midfielders who all deserve good minutes for 3 spots as well as “older” options in Paterson, Palmer and Nagy. Does not make sense to add another in there to me. Sessengnon - have seen him play here and there and I always got the sense he was nervous on the ball. Maybe I saw a bad game and is what I am remembering but that right side felt weak. He was nervous on the ball and nervous/rash defending. He may well be better than Hunt one day but not sure he will be better at any point in this season. I’d be happy to be wrong on this but would have preferred Pereira back. Perhaps we wanted him back but couldn’t which is fine just not sold on SS. Mawson & Williams - no problems and fanatastic signings. We did need experience and leadership but think you can get that from 25-27 year olds who still have a lot of high quality football to give.

Good post. I suspect that the arrival of Martin and especially Brunt are to give a young squad the sort of help that Wilbs and Wade Elliott did with the Cotterell promotion team. Not to block the pathway for young ones like Morrell, Walsh, Bakinson, Vyner and Semenyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You critique him defensively but notable that he had some good defensive stats this week across both his games- as well as the obvious technical excellence.

We have to cut our cloth accordingly, the type of player you mentioned would be at the top of their game and be more expensive and also more likely to go to a fashionable big club. We have here Paterson, Weimann and Famaral to name but a few who fall into the category. We must also look at player motivation, Brunt and Martin will feel wanted and surely will appreciate that this may be their last chance of glory before calling time on their careers.

steveybadger Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thought last season that Nagy would be better for a season getting used to the pace here, and benefitting from clearing the odd niggly injury. But time will tell I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to be sarcastic, I think its a little PR sweetener just to keep fans on side especially after the shambolic last few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
