villabromsgrove Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Butland, Mings, Webster, Philips and Benrahma to look forward to! Seven British and four overseas players in our starting eleven. Attitude, energy, aggression and plenty of flair, developed into a tight battle unit by Smith, Terry, O'Kelly and Cutler. Exciting times! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 'ITK', just my best expert guesswork, and we should be seeing a lot more signing this month as well. Edited July 1, 2019 by useless 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Jonjo Shelvey is an absolutely brilliant footballer to be fair. He's just lazy, a bit thick and hasn't done himself justice. He is a brilliant footballer though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimcohen Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 As I see it, we now have 5 high prob starters in the squad 100% confirmed with Targett, ElGhazi, Jack, SJM and either Elmo or Guilbert at RB. Hopefully Wesley to confirm asap for a 6th, and it would not be a disaster if Jota, Steer and Hause started the first game. But that leaves 2 signings urgently required to have a solid pre-season prep wise. At least 1 CB and 1 CDM needed ASAP. But a GK, CB and winger would be obviously good. Plans seem to be Butland, Mings,and Webster which I would be delighted with. Rumors around who the CDM and winger would be seem vague right now. But either way, the amount of work and ins needed makes me nervous. Mings is a must. We need as much consistency from last season as possible to avoid the pitfalls of other teams who went up and made too many changes too quickly. In the board and Smith I fully trust. The only real point I am making is how much is still to be done and we have already made 4 and a half (Wesley) signings plus Guilbert from Jan.

Part of being with excellent passing skills is to have a great understanding of the game wich comes with good football brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, another for the long list of jumped up little shits who, if it weren't for football would probably be in jail by now (or in and out of...), see Joey Barton, Ravel Morrison etc for comparisons. Wouldn't touch him with a bargepole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balotelli, Memphis Depay, even Ravel Morrison got a chance at Lazio. But Shelvey has never kicked on and never got further than a mid-table Newcastle side. Maybe he’s better than I’m giving him credit for, but to say that he’s ‘one of the best on his day’, has that huge caveat that ‘his day’ comes once in a blue moon.

Might still be able to sign unattached players after that perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 with the pre season camp in a weeks time, I would expect / this week to see a couple more signings at least. We won't get them all in before pre-season gets going obviously, but still need at least one of those defenders to come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played with Liverpool for 3 or 4 years and was starting a lot of games an played very well. But he had this attitude problems wich was not accepted by the club.

He played four games and is currently playing for Ostersund in Sweden! Via a year in Mexico. I'm not sure Lazio are what they once were. No point to this other than it seemed a funny example.

Mazrim Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Jonjo Shelvey is a bellend. Leave some leaflets or something though mate. We might look at redoing the midfield in Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If let's say we go for Webster mings and Phillips. The total cost for those three will be close to 50m or maybe more. The money has gone insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
