CONFIRMED Djibril Soumaré signs on Season Long Loan (obligation to buy)

[Cheeky Blade]

All these loan signings are starting to be a concern, at some stage surely we should be signing our own players

If we go up we have an obligation to buy this lad, seems a good deal tbh.

Welcome to BDTBL Djibril Soumaré.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

It's going to be 4-3-3 with lots of rotation and making full use of subs. Pressing game demands that.

Yes especially with lots of games. Having good options in midfield is especially important

 

[Brian Deane]

If this lad is the real deal it’s hard to see where Arblaster fits into the starting line up once fit. I guess he’d replace O’Hare.

Off to Spurs in January

 

[grena blade]

Right can we please buy a good young cb

 

[designedbyross]

Can’t spell “Djibril Soumaré” without “AI”

 

[Aston max]

Ultimately a diamond 4-4-2 might be the best way

-------- Soumaré
Peck ‐----------- Arblaster
---------- Hamer

----- Campbell --- Barry

Barry shoved to the left and Seriki/other RB getting forward a lot on that side with good cover

Might be some shock selections

Seriki, anel, bindon, burrows
Soumare,peck
Ohare,hamer, Barry
Campbell

Where to put blaster ( when fit ) brooks ,Ukaki ,Cannon, jeff etc

I glad I'm not picking the team, especially if we get a RB,CB and a centre forward.

I'm glad your not as well you've named 9 players

 

[Wards]

I'm glad you're not either, there's only ten players there!

(Including Cooper)

I'm glad your not picking the team either. Add the Goalie and you've still got us playing with 10 men.

I'm old ,that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Jlt sent off

I wouldn't be too worried about where to fit in Ukaki, Caceres and Cannon...

I'd be willing to play O'Hare on the right if there's a good attacking RB behind him. He'd spend more time tucked in. It's for this reason I don't think we really need more wingers. Rotating Brooks, Barry and O'Hare is a good option

I like ohare as well as his attacking ability, he's a bloody nuisance when we haven't got the ball with his pressing and an uncanny ability to nick the ball off opposition players.

Given the use of 4-3-3 all summer, I'd expect it would be something like this.

----------------Cooper
Seriki-Anel*-Bindon-Burrows
---O'Hare-Soumare-Hamer
Brooks-----Campbell-----Barry

That includes all 3 of our first team signings, while our development signing Ukaki will be on the bench.

Other options:
Peck covers both CM (Hamer + O'Hare) and CDM (Soumare), Oné and Cannon cover both LW and ST, Ukaki covers RW.

Still needed:
1 x RB (maybe a bit older who Seriki can learn from)
1 x CB (if Anel stays and Robbo is still injured)
1 x ST (with Moore leaving, we need at least 1 ST to replace him)

If the rumours about Everton signing Dewsbury-Hall are true, I hope that means we can get Iroegbunam as well, even if we have to wait until towards the end of the window to get him.

We only have 3 so far, so expect another one or two.
We already have a squad of “our own players”.

 

[MayorOJC]

Blaster fits in any side in the country fit

Imagine it'll be this against the stronger teams:

Hamer -------- Arblaster
--------- Soumare ----------

And this against the weaker:

O'Hare ---------- Arblaster
---------- Hamer --------------

Sydie won't be happy

 

[MayorOJC]

Sydie won't be happy

Love me some Sydie but he ain't in the top 3 when Arblaster is fit, now Hamer is central

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Aye

Nixon?

 

[WalkelyFan]

Whilst looking at Soumare's audition tape he seems to be able to ping the long pass.

 

[ml1997]

Completely checked out this summer, but this is encouraging. After we sacked Wilder, we needed to go in a radically different direction to justify it, and this is one of those types of signings. Would be nice to sign someone permanently though.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Boils me fucking piss when you get the "Who?" comments. Followed by an immediate negative reaction regarding a player they know nothing about.

Apologies, I was commenting about how the woke BBC had ruined my favourite sci-fi programme. Must have posted in wrong thread. Soz.

 

[dn5 shaun]

Looks to be finally done!

Which police station is that?

 

[Bergen Blade]

Sydie won't be happy

Our midfield options are very exciting now and it's true it may be a struggle to keep everybody involved and happy if everybody someday get fit. I wouldn't rule out Selles tweaking the formation and rotating the personnel on occasions, even though he's kept the 4-3-3 all pre season.

 

[metalblade]

Did we have to wait to get Moore off the wage list before this could go through?

 

[Bladeloyal]

No home office hold ups ,Moore hasn't officially gone yet has he

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Peck and Soumaré will both start. If not then Soumaré will have too much work to do on his own

Interesting. How's that first eleven lining up?

EDIT: Sorry 3Cheers4Ramirez I've spotted your team above
I'm not sure he'll match your formation FWIW.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Yes if we don't go up he's gone which is a issue. Unfortunately it's the reality. Really is a gamble this year.

If we don't go up, most of the first team will be gone.
