t would make sense if it were a younger player to build with the rest of the group.
Cant go into a game always having the same method and formation unless you have world class players as city ,liverpool and others do,even they shake it up a bit from time to time.
I agree with everything you’ve said and would also expect to switch between the flat 3 and a more attacking 3. I’d also expect us to experiment more with the 4-4-2 diamond as Bogle and Burke could play wide in that system. I can only speak to the Warnock relation from the prem as it’s the only one I’ve seen but that group had arguably reached its peak and still dropped where as we’ve spent this summer and last building a new young core if that process could be complete next summer then hopefully we’d have a new group trending upwards with lots of development room rather than and older group trending downwards.
as you know i like the 433 system but if were in the championship 442 is an interesting one and could work plus especially at home we could use burke in his natural position out wide right if rnd comes back weve 4 players already for the lb and lm role so covered there maybe get besic back as the dm that would just leave us to find the elusive am freeman might be the answer there but he hasnt pulled any trees up for forest (sorry about the pun ) so i think we would be looking for somebody else for that role maybe back in for jon swift in the summer if reading dont go up
I think we could be incredibly fluid tactically like you say we have some interesting options on the right now with Bogle, baldock and Basham. RND will add that kind of flexibility on the left able to play at left back, wing back and centrehalf. If we could find a midfielder capable of playing RCM and AM we’d be able to switch between a 3 or a 4 at the back seamlessly in game which would cause teams serious problems.
Where does it say about money? Also take anything coming out arsenal regarding contracts player signings etc with a pinch of salt. The bloke basically running the show now is poison and nearly killed inter to the extent he is banned from the club. Anything around this lads contract is now performance art. I’m not saying we can afford him or he’d come here just that arsenal aren’t all sweetness and light right now.
In short yes. He’s a top young talent highly rated with international recognition but would take time to adapt to men’s football as nearly all young players do. But if he’s available for free then it’s not really a gamble.
Mate when is it not about money? Very rarely...although in this case he probably wants games too ...but games on the right money.
This could be about money but the lad has consistently said he wants games for the last 18 months. Going off the teams who have reportedly tried to buy him from arsenal that being us and Brentford his wage demands might not be extortionate as neither pays highly and clubs don’t bid for players without a nudge and a wink from the agent that the player is interested.
if were still interested in balagun it has to be for next season in the championship possibly replacing mousset who i very much doubt will still be with us come august mcburnie brewster burke balogun hackford and possibly billy and goldie would be a fantastic set of strikers for championship football
It would be very good and very diverse in terms of skill sets. Theoretically with a functioning midfield that sort of striking groups should have the answers to any defence.
there lies the problem yogi midfield at least 2 new faces got to come in this summer besic and swift could be quite interesting hopefully fleck will come back to form at a lower level although think norwoods race might be run i expect us to move him on
#457 which is exactly the reason i posted what i posted,there will be more interested clubs than us.
For me it has to be 3 if all the current players stay. 1 at DM 1 box to box player to push/cover for Berge and then one AM. That gives us cover/options as well as giving us the ability to tweak formation.
Fair enough. However, given our lack of goals, were we to sign another striker who then wasn't played (for the reasons you outline) there would be questions asked and a clamour for him to play. If he then did play and didn't score (for the reasons outlined above) he'd be getting the stick that Brewster is. In short, it's probably an unnecessary gamble for him, more than anything.
Oh yeah right now we aren’t an attractive option when like you say we don’t create chances.
you may be right yogi mind wouldnt suprise me if regan slater isnt in our plans for next season i think we will use the lundstrum money to fund swift and maybe even a double swoop on blackburn for lenihan and dack
In terms of planning our transfer business the emergence of a slater or brunt or any of the youngsters should be a bonus not something which factors into our short term planning imo.
i think 3 or 4 of these young lads have to be integrated in to the squad next season but yeah midfield has to be the priority next season do you think chris will stick with 352 ? im hoping not
As we only offered them three bob for him can we really have been in for him, seriously, or as someone so in touch with the real world has reported, “Another one slips through the net”. ! FFS !!!
