Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 I haven’t got a problem with Engles returning. He showed promise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 22 minutes ago, AvfcRigo82 said: Time will tell mate. The key thing to remember is that Rashica can play AML, AMC, ST positions. Werder are cutting it fine I agree. Most of the players mentioned all play in completely different positions of midfield. Also, Sarr is mainly AMR, as is Bertrand Traore. But the former can also play AML and ST. It would make sense Sarr being a plan B. As you say that, in one of the last interviews, Deano did say something along the lines of " Let's see if we can get someone who covers both ". Was quick comment in response to strengthening, and referring to the Midfield/Forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Engels needs a chance in this more resolute system but he's easily behind Konsa now. He was arguably the best of the centre halves early on last season but his form drifted and we played too open for any CB to distinguish themselves. It would be nice to give him some cup games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think both Engels and Hause will still remain with us beyond deadline day though? Anything can happen in football and it was only a few days ago that I shared the agreement of thought with you that I doubted we would see Engels again.

I’m very happy with our Cb options if Engels is back. If he’s not ready though we could definitely do with cover. Really do believe that Engels can come good though if he can keep fit.

We have seen nothing (so far) to suggest that the transfer won't happen? The manager has since came out and stated we are down 1 in a striker and also need someone that can play the attack midfield line. Rashica & Sarr fit the criteria, There was another thread for this though... Edited September 30, 2020 by AvfcRigo82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't see either of them leaving this window. I didn't think we would see Engles again, I was deeply suspicious about his "injuries" but seemingly they were genuine. I'm not sure we will sell anyone before the deadline, perhaps a couple of younger players out on loan though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith's comments were very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly. Tragic he was conned by Olé into signing that contract. I would definately replace Hause if we're possible but it might be something we now look at reviewing in the January window perhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of qualitative improvement of the squad I think we’ll have had the biggest jump of any side in the league. Covid kept us up and may now be helping us climb the table. Silver lining and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad there was no long term bust up with Engels, made me worry a bit about man management and squad spirit and stuff. I also think he looked good for a while next to Mings there's a good defender in there I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
