I'm not sure about you, but I'm increasingly worried by the "quality" of players we are being linked with. Gold has said we can expect as many as four signings this summer and it is still not clear if that four included Jussi and the, as yet not confirmed, McCartney. If it does, we are down to just two new arrivals, one of whom may be Diame and the other Elmohamady.
That can't be right, of course, because we are about to bid again for Shot Holt, but if that's it, I can see big trouble ahead.
Let's draft the new signings into the team and see what we have!
Jussi
Demel, Tomkins, Reid, McCartney
Diame Noble
Vaz Te, Nolan, Elmohamady
Holt
Subs: Cole, O'Brien, Taylor, Maynard, O'Neil, Henderson, Collison
Is that a strong enough line up and squad to survive and prosper in the Prem? I very much doubt it! Demel was horribly exposed by pace in the play off final against Blackpool; Tomkins and Reid lack experience at the centre of defence; McCartney and Elmohamady are not good enough for Sunderland!; and Holt may be a one season wonder. We need more, a lot more!
elmo is a rm by the way and can play rb, a loan would be a good deal for us
ReplyDeleteand linda is needed badly or we are starting the season with potts, cheap and a good squad filler
McCartney as a back up- maybe, Elmohamady- No. I think we have other more appropriate potential irons (pun intended) in the fire, so don't get too concerned at the moment HF. I think Gold was being economical with our activity, why should he let everyone know what and where we are looking and doing. Sam knows what we need and the board know they need to deliver, so much rides on it. JMan43

ReplyDeleteDemel is only feasible as a centre back. O'Brien is not feasible at all.
ReplyDeleteNo harm in getting Linda for cover if he costs nowt, btw.
