Czechlad Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Personally I think we are fine with strikers. Ayew, McCormack, Gestede, Kozak, and Murphy are more than enough. We need a right back desperately and a creative mid or winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However guessing if he stayed with us, he may have saved us and just papered over cracks, then no takeover etc. (Or still takeover lol). Imagine the current forward line we have with Benteke in it as well as the support staff we are building? One can dream. sigh. Yeah, would have been an absolute legend if he had come back - who knows - maybe in a year or two we might trigger his release clause 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently playing a variety of 433 so three of the four (without kozak) start and the other is untested. We need another in case of injuries, suspension or lack of form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't go forward with just McCormack for that whole month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks okay on paper, but when you consider it looks like McCormack and Gestede will start, with Ayew playing from the right, where are the options from the bench if we need a change!? (like we did after 70 mins against Hudd)? Need another one imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would make us rather strong indeed.. Usually Championship teams use the loans to get one or two players that are too good for the league that they would never in a million years sign on a permanent. In our situation though I think we have already signed some players too good for this league players like Elphick, Chester, McCormack and Jedinak. The jury is still out on Tshibola but he seems quality too. So if we have one permanent yet to do and then a couple of potential out of our league loans we are set. A squad with Elphick, Chester, Jedinak, Tshibola, Grealish, McCormack and Ayew in it shouldn't really be struggling in this league. If we have yet more to come with players like Bacuna also putting in work now I like our chances this season. Maybe over-optimism has set in but when I look at what we have and what we may still add I think we have the strongest starting-XI in the league. Maybe I am alone in that thinking though.

Despite the pre-season hype, my early impressions are that this league is totally pants and if we can turn our strong roster into a strong team then we'll run riot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to agree but, frankly, I have no idea about other teams in the League. I've been such a jacked up little Premier League monkey since its inception that I have little idea about any of these teams. I'll put my hands up! Having said that, on paper, our team last year should've done okay. Gelling is absolutely key. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Thomas Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 André Ayew out for four months - that happens to one of our main strikers and we'd be in trouble - would like another striker and an attacking midfielder. Can live without another RB if we must, but ideally we find one of those as well. FWIW I think we will get those three before the window shuts.
