Mcburnie

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

While I like McBurnie he’s another year older and is injury prone. Not worth busting the bank for. The new owners need to show a bit more in the market now though. CB, CB, CF, pace, RB, needed especially if Anel going.

Brilliant news

Seems rather odd that when Moore has been reported to have passed his Wrexham medical today we also announce the loan signing of Soumare. It screams out to me we have to sell before we can bring anyone in. Don't laugh too much at the piggies we might be the next with the begging buckets.

Hope you've got some decent laundry liquid/powder. Those sheets are going to need some serious washing .

I think we need to find a "youngster" from a prem team who can come in and be that 3rd Striker, someone with blistering pace who can press with the intensity we need.

We need to find someone as close to Campbell as possible IMHO.

When he went off last season and we needed to change tactics accordingly we looked decidedly inferior!

Maybe there is an alternative another way

Three strikers to start ?

 

[Champagneblade]

I’m starting to wonder if we’re not that bothered.

Bear with me.

We will likely play 4-3-3.

That requires just one starting striker. There’s no deep lying striker in that set up where you can fudge in another centre forward like you can with 4-2-3-1.

I think this will happen:

1. We’ll start with the plan of Hamer-Peck- O’Hare behind Barry-Campbell-Brooks.
2. Soumaré will arrive but will be earmarked as a squad player. Caceres will be a back up and then Davies will take the other spot prior to Arblaster returning. Back up forwards for week 1 would be Oné, Cannon and Ukaki.
3. Everton, having just completed the move for Dewsbury-Hall will let us have Iroegbunam.
4. Iroegbunam will become a bona fide starter. That creates a quandary. So we’ll move Peck to one side and Hamer to the other. That leaves O’Hare as a spare.
5. O’Hare will then end up competing with Brooks and Barry for the wide berth. This will mean that Oné has to compete just as much for a striker role. We will retain Marsh as 4th striker who can play in a few spots.
6. We won’t see value anymore in paying if money for a 3rd choice striker, knowing that Cannon, Oné, Marsh and Barry can all play there instead of Campbell and it’s only one spot. We also have Caceres and Ukaki remember who can both operate wide if we need to shove one of the aforementioned down the middle.

Meanwhile we spend more time on defence and bring in this Korean lad with the Moore money on far less wages plus whatever we saved on Grbic.

Then if Anel goes we replace him.

Maybe I’m wrong but it’s hard to recruit when the offer is of being behind your first choice, then your second choice is someone you spent 10m on and your current 3rd choice is a young lad you’re keen to get games to.

What player can you target for that role? How much budget would you seriously allocate and what sort of player would fancy that sort of gig?

The only time resigning a player who did it even better the second time was Wayne Quinn in 2003. It never works

Wayne Quinn never regained the form of his 97/98 debut season.

Going to Hull.

Hull are restricted to players not requiring a fee. So, they are looking for a very decent Championship player, who will be happy in the North and who currently does not have a club. There’s a limited number currently available, they have pushed the boat out to get their number one, star striker. They were always going to up the money as this was their best chance.

either way-you want him you just ask-what they offered you oli,well match it’ and he’s here. That’s all the big spenders do. We still have parachutes
