Sander Berge very decent CM and depending on price could be worth a look. Possibly John Egan as a replacement for Engels? Nope, we don’t need back ups, we need quality brought into the first team and pushes first teamers to the bench. Our first team needs a lot more quality, no point wasting money unless a back up gives us something different and not just a back up. Quality first, alternatives second, backups a distant third.

useless Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Rhian Brewster would be a very shrewd signing for someone, a good player that will have a good career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen much of him play but I have never been all that impressed with him. He seems to have struggled to get into a really poor Shef Utd team. He’s still young though. What do you like about him Useless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a few weeks of form at the back end of last season with Swansea ? He might be good. You couldn't say with any degree of where how he'll go.

useless Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Brewster is fast, strong, direct, can score all kinds of goals, is good with both feet, he's still very young. I think it's very short-sighted to judge him based purely on his form with Sheffield United, anyone would struggle to score playing for them, and not sure if they used him in the right way. Next season he will do well in the championship, and either he will come backup with them or a premier league will buy him for big money, that's if one doesn't try and get him this summer on the cheap.

He may well be but they will want to recoup as much as they can for the amount they paid for him. So he would hardly be a ‘shrewd’ signing at the price they paid. I suppose you watched him closely like you do Eze so you probably know more about him then I do. But 23m, 0 Assists, 0 goals is a pretty shocking return. I don’t care who you play for.

useless Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I think this ideal that you never sign back-ups and only strengthen the first team is a bit of a myth. Pretty much every team strengthens their squad, it's unrealistic to replace a first teamer every time you need a new signing. In the summer we're going to be signing a few squad players, back-up for Watkins and Targett, a defender for to come in in case either of Konsa or Mings get injured, if we replaced all those with better players that would be the best part of £100m and we would hardly have any money left for positions where we do need to strengthen the first team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are different in that a number of our first team should only be backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Wonder if we'll make a move for Tammy? He will want to be #9, no doubt. Move Ollie to the left and have Jack as #10? Its a yes from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they’ll all cost a fortune. Edited April 18, 2021 by 7392craig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack, Ollie and Tammy as the front 3 has a ring to it, now that would enable us to go 4-3-3. but we need to get the midfield balanced right to do that.

It does me too....We have to create competition ,not back up......back up has to come from players who have slipped down the progressive pecking order, but still a bit too useful to let go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just think Jack’s future isn’t on the wing. He is one of only a few players atm who can drive through the centre of the pitch. He’s great out wide, but a bit of a gem at no 10.
