shandypants Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 ...I would much more prefer us to spend significantly on top-notch creative and defensive players. A ball-playing centre-half, a midfield enforcer and a pacey winger that can cross are essential IMHO. Spending more money on forwards would be wasteful IMO. Whats your thoughts?

Roscoe P. Coltrane Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 DC has ordered Carlos to play a very attacking formation next season, he's going for a 2-8 set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Not unless we shift a couple like Joao and Nuhiu. It really depends on how we are financially. Presumably we need to start cutting our cloth carefully so addressing defence and adding variety to the midfield seems sensible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we certainly do need to be a bit more prudent in the transfer market, but there are more costly mistakes than Nuhiu and Joao to flog off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animis Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 or adjust to how they play - can't have Rhodes and FF sat on the bench next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher plays that role now, with Winnall, Rhodes and Nuhiu as back up. In terms of who is best for the role, at the moment it's Fletcher, but to my mind we could do with someone more mobile. It's no coincidence that both Forestieri and Hooper play better when paired with Joao, so I'd be looking for a Joao type player, but maybe one that was a bit further down the line.

Think tank Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 100% agree, we definitely don't need another striker, it's the other areas of the team we need to work on to supply them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the above are proven goal-scorers at Championship level or above with the exception of the young 'un who is exhibiting real potential. How many bloody strikers do we need?!!

theowlsman Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Well, if we're now in the territory of suggesting we'd let Rhodes go if someone better becomes available, I can't see how anyone could complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You generally need five. My only concern is that there isn't much pace and FF drops deeper. I think young Hirst would benefit from a loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
