No, just, no. And I’m sorry but if his desire to play is being questioned by one of the best managers in the world, in a team that were fighting for the title and that went on to win the champs league, then what is his desire going to be like at a team just promoted? Literally makes no sense. I never mentioned 40k - not sure where this figure came from ? I would be looking at some type of deal that is linked to games played or similar. Look you have to realise that players like Daniel Sturbridge do not ordinarily come on a free - there's usually some reason or other behind this. He is an exceptionally gifted footballer - he is a natural talent - but also comes with certain foibles shall we say. we are not the only premier league team being linked with Sturbridge and I believe one way or another we'll see him at VP next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Well off the top of my head I'd say three centre-backs, a left-back, three central midfieders, three wingers, two strikers, and possibly a right-back, and a goalkeeper. So fourteen, but if we can get a few players who can play in more than one position then maybe we can get that number down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's made of glass. Remember when Baggies paid a fortune to have him on loan? That worked out well didn't it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 On Cahill being slow; do we think that Smith and the team will employ the same tactic of having our defenders pushed up high in the Prem? The quality and pace of players in this league could punish us much more than in the Championship. I know Smith wants to win every game, but it’s not crazy to think he might make a few tweaks here or there. Cahill, or similar, could still fit into Smith’s plans if the cost was right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was great. I had a bet with a baggies mate that he wouldn’t score 5 goals. I think he struggled to reach 5 games! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need 100% a LB, 2 CB's, 2 (if not 3) wide players, DMC and a 2 strikers. That's 9 players. And apparantly the papers are linking us for a keeper. So say 10 more players. That's roughly 1 a week until we start our season, and ideally we want the majority of them within our pre-season. I sure hope Suso & co were prepared for this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Sure you can make a case for cahil - but thats a squad place and wages that could go on someone else. Personally I think if we wanted an 'older head' we wouldn't have let Whelan go. I have heard a whisper (an email from a derby fan I used to work with!!!!!!!) that we have enquired for Jack Marriott - new name in the frame - not sure if he is PL quality TBH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even saw that when he played for us. He was a far, far, far better centre back than Gary Cahill has ever been. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
