[Tea & Busquets]

Still need some help in the back @Saddlebrains any movement on that front? Or murmurs in general?

Sign the lad asap… he’s the driving CM we need

 

[Cally Fedora]

Is he? Don’t know anything about him.

 

[Hobo]

Is he? Don’t know anything about him.

It is just people who have heard a transfer rumour and then bigged him up like they have watched every game he has played in the last two years. In reality they have just checked out a few stats

 

[shepardo01]

Ok. Is he really the answer!?? Genuine question.
Everyone thinks our signings are always world beaters until we actually see them play.

 

[Viktor17]

Year on, still needing to replace the Hamer dynamism………. Lacking badly.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

I’d prefer Clark on loan from Liverpool, seen him play and very good.

 

[Balli001]

Luckily our recruitment team have seen more than just Clark play

 

[Hincha]

Is he a ball winning 6? Looks like he used to play 6 but has been effective further forward.

Really feel like we’ll look a much better side with someone actually screening the defence rather than playing 3 8’s in front of them

 

[ccfc1234]

We should look to sign the lad from Liverpool. He has bags of ability and dynamic energy, we don't have lots of that with Torp or Allen.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Which game did you watch ? As he only appeared in Liverpool's first team 5 times last season. And 4 of those were as a last 10 mins sub.

that might depend on whether or not Clark wants to play for the Sky Blues

He's a playmaker. He's tall but not the strongest in the world, nor is he a massive aerial threat, but he's smart in where he places his body in duels. We've played him as a deeper midfielder (alongside someone else) before, but he's much better playing higher up the field. Brilliant footballer, will miss him when he's gone, and I think he is as he got subbed off in the 89th minute last night. Whether that is to Coventry or somewhere else, I don't know.

Didn't someone on here say he ISN'T the answer?

Same thing stands.

We won't know until he pulls a City shirt on.

We weren't sure on Hamer when he was signed either were we.

The game, like you say, isn't played on paper, or judged by a few YouTube videos.

I would say, let's see if we get him and if we do, how he does when he is picked.

Out of the way of the bullet ?

Looks classy in online clips. But what is his work rate and mobility like, bearing in mind the demands of the Championship?

Works hard and runs a lot, though his body language makes him look like he's not bothered. Takes a while to get used to.
We've just got a new coach this season who's been working hard on player fitness/stamina this preseason, as he wants to play a high press, and he has looked a bit knackered by minute 75 or so.

I already have fears for the reception he could get!

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Not sure he sounds like the type we need.

We need someone who is all action and can do a bit of everything at pace and with quality.

 

[gspotgaz]

Need an engine player with bite in the middle badly - hopefully yesterday confirmed that for robins

 

[Gint11]

Need a young Dennis Wise

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Would be fun if Tea and Busquets masqueraded as a fan of a club whose player we’re linked with to throw Andy Turner some bones

 

[Perennial Lurker]

We have two in Sheaf and Eccles

 

[Macca1987]

I think the problem when Eccles came on yesterday was he got clattered witihin the first 2 or 3 minutes on his ankle and if he is carrying a bit of an injury then it’s not surprising he wasn’t really in the game
Get him fit and we will be a lot better than what we had yesterday

 

[StrettoBoy]

Need a young Dennis Wise

After yesterday I’d settle for an old Dennis Wise.

 

[Gint11]

Yeah. I’d take. 50 year old Dennis wise!

And that's my worry about Torp. He is very one paced. When we break forward quickly he struggles to catch up with play. Likewise, when we get turned over he is huffing and puffing to get back. He has some nice touches, especially in tight areas. But one thingcwe won't be able to coach into him is pace.

Torp should be played as an 8, in the gaps between the opposition defence and midfield, in matches where the midfield is "busy" and we're playing possession based football. I think in these situations it's OK to play Torp and Rudoni in the 8 role, and Sheaf (if fit) at 6. In matches where the defence needs more protection we need to play 2x 6's, Sheaf and Eccles - which is where we have issues because there's no cover there. Not to bang at the same drum but another option at 6 is vital. Yesterday was all wrong in midfield.

That is why I think he looks better off the bench when the game has become a bit more stretched and a few players are getting leggy.
