Transfer targets (13 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

No he didn't, out of possession he was alongside Sheaf/Eccles/Kelly whichever two were playing at the time.

So we know you are a troll account. We now know you are an alt of someone who doesn't go to any games.

Here are the average positions from the last four games of the season - can you point out who the no 10 is in each of them?

Well in the bottom 2 you'd say he was playing as 1 of 2 10's in the box system.

Thanks for help mate

Well from those graphics I have to say I'm quite pleased with Eccles position.

Not yet 6pm on deadline day and we’re getting deeper into the moon landing conspiracies, this is peak performance

David Icke will show back up soon!

I can’t believe he thinks the moon is even real. Absolute lunacy

Bottom one fair enough, other three no.

In the second to last one which you are erroneously trying to claim he's a 10, you can see squad number 8 (Jamie Allen) playing well ahead of Hamer as the main support for striker for Gyokeres.
Hamer is pretty much alongside number 14 (Ben Sheaf) in that match.

Sound have invested some of the money we spent on Wright to buy a scanner for the physio room, might have gotten our first choices that way.

This was brought up on talksport about a month ago re medicals. It is not just the problem of having a scanner and someone to work it. It is having the expert on hand to interpret the results and write the report for insurance purposes. It's not like looking at x-rays.

Look at how many deals today and final day of window last season that are loans (even involving big clubs). Because a loan doesn't require the medical and negotiations are easier.

Ok, you'd know this if you watched us play but we sometimes play what is called a midfield box. This is where we play 2 deeper lying midfielders and then 2 more midfields just behind the striker. So while we are playing a system that has 2 "10's" it is entirely possible for a player to play as 1 of the 2 "10s" and still have another player slightly forward of him as that player will in fact be the other "10" in that system.

I know tickets are pretty pricey this year but you should try and get a game sooner or later.

Lot's the loans i.e. like the Ambrabat to United deal are loans due to it not having FFP hit that a full transfer has.

It's not slightly is it, Allen is well ahead of him that match and he's alongside Sheaf you thick mongrel

Well you’re either a troll or a total fucking idiot.

Divvy Dave has lost his head

His escalation in scoring goals last season was when palmer was injured and he was given more freedom to move forward and link play with the front players

 

[SBT]

In the final game of the season you can make the argument, but for the rest of the time he’s pretty much level with Sheaf/Eccles.

If your definition of a no 10 is “someone who occasionally goes forward” then sure, he was a no 10.

 

[covmark]

Swift would be a great signing

 

[Martin180]

Mowatt would be great

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Well you’re either a troll or a total fucking idiot.

Both or maybe neither, I have went a bit over the top but genuinely not happy with the clubs transfer business since the Leicester match.

Happy to get Kitching over the line but think the club have dropped a clanger not getting a midfielder and another striker to compete with the three we have. Feel this was the time for the club to make a statement and establish itself as a genuine contender at this level but think we've fallen short.
Don't think this squad is better than a 9th - 12th place finish which is genuinely disappointing given last season and the early pre season excitement this season.

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Would take both swift or mowatt at this point

 

[ms639]

Swift deal is on the cards. Not John, just a rapid croupier.

We have signed another midfielder since the Leicester game, add the fact that Latibeaudiere can and probably will move into DM when Kitching or Binks take the LCB role. We have two extra players in there.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Who in midfield is going to score goals? It isn't as bad as some are making out, but we have lost Hamer. That is a pretty big hole in itself.

Ok, let me rephrase this question now the whole forum has descended into arguing over heat maps.

Who in the team other than the strikers is going to contribute a significant amount of goals? As I said previously, unless there is some significant improvement, we have overall a pretty goal shy team statistically.

We lost Gyokeres and Hamer - who carried the, ahem, burden, of scoring and assisting. 32 goals and 22 assists between them. Another ten goals came from a combination of Godden, Walker, Waghorn. Whilst we have got new strikers in which in theory should between them replicate the total strikers contributions from last season, everywhere else in the pitch is light as fuck (unless there is a major improvement). I fail to see how people cannot see this.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Oh and Hamer wasn't playing as a 10 regularly at the end of the season, that wasn't troll or being an idiot

Cheaper than Kitching

Oh come on. He plainly was. He was the one consistently linking up with Gyokeres, and hence why he chipped in with a few more goals than he previously was capable of getting.

 

[Deity]

Cheaper than Kitching

£180k a week wages at Chelsea …. That’s why the fee is cheap

 

[fernandopartridge]

I must have imagined our best centre mid leaving then, you're kidding yourself

Go and have a pint mate

I get some of the long term investments are not coming off but why not a loan? We are lacking options in the forward area. 3 forwards if we play two up top are not enough.

Didnt they turn down 60-70m from Bayern/German team 2-3 year ago ?! Frightening

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Is there still a loan window outside of the transfer window? I’m sure it was scrapped but I’m not 100% sure.
