Rocky jamboa Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 If you look at the world cup, the getting to the byeline style winger seems to almost be non existent and replaced by wing backs. Possibly a natural winger therefore isn't on Craig's wish list and we'll be using wing backs for width? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMc Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Godinho looks like he could develop enough to be either a WB or FB. if we’ve got 4 potential starters at RB, at least one of them will have to be smart enough to be staying back for a few hours practicing crosses every day. Use Jon Daly as a target to make sure it gets noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Doesn't look good for Amankwaa. There were reports that he had toiled during pre-season and the meagre amount of minutes he's had in the friendlies thus far suggests he is very well down the pecking order.

Captain Canada Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) 46 minutes ago, The Apprentice said: It may sound harsh and I’m basing this purely on the 60-odd mins he was on the park on Sunday, but I’d be surprised if Silva was signed as backup keeper. Competition for Mason in the reserves and see how he does perhaps but thought he looked shaky at the goal and doesn’t appear very dominant or vocal whatsoever. I agree. I'd be happy to sign him to compete with Mason and see how he develops in the next year. I didn't view him as a reliable first team back-up though. I saw CL have a chat with him when he got subbed on Sunday and there were obviously a couple of points he was keen to get across.

Probably underrated in comparison with Harry and Anthony too but the boy has got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a lull in transfer activity until nearer the window closing. Not that we need another glut of signings but there's also the threat of losing players up til then too. However, the goalie position looks the more crucial area to get sorted just now so we may see another face soon in that department. Then later on any more additions after offloading some, but in the same breath you don't want to wait too long if you have specific targets which other clubs are sniffing around.

We have got the main squad at the moment, but still have just under two months to go till the windows end. The English one closes in a month today. So it can mean players who want to get out of their clubs after it closes have an escape route open. So we could find a few surprising players. I think we will sign Silva, another goalkeeper (with Mason going out on loan), Mitchell and a winger. With maybe a surprise player who was too good to turn down.

Famous 1874 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) If we are set on playing 3/5 at the back then arguably we should perhaps sign another centre half. Currently have 4 for 3 positions. Levein has already said that Zlamal and the back 3 of Souttar, Haring and Berra will be the starting options, so if there was a signing they would be more of a backup option. David Vanecek is going to come in at some point- either now if they accept the fee or on a pre contract in January which will leave us with 4 main strikers in Vanecek, Uche, Lafferty and Maclean, with Keena and Currie in behind them who may go on loan somewhere. We’ll also sign a backup goalkeeper whether it be Silva or somebody else, but I wouldn’t say that’s a priority. A left wing back is bound to come in, ideally Demi Mitchell back on loan again. We only have Garuccio who can naturally play there at the moment. We won’t find out if we can get Mitchell back until August so I assume that Levein will have some sort of shortlist of players that are alternatives if we can’t get him. I still feel we need some sort of enforcer in the middle of the park. Bozanic and Lee seem more attacking, Naismith will play in behind the strikers and Levein has already said that he will use Edwards in a more advanced role. Also, I hope that Cochrane and Macdonald are both given a good amount of minutes next season, as they both possess a lot of potential. I’d be surprised if we went for another right wing back as we have 4 players who can play there. Although Brandon and Godinho are both injured for a while. When he is fit i’d start Godinho over the other 3. Smith isn’t good enough attacking wise to play in the wing back and is much more suited to right back in a 4, centre back or centre midfield, maybe Levein fancies Smith as a defensive midfielder? Hope not. Edited July 9, 2018 by Ali Lawrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Wes Hoolahan would be a really good addition to our team despite his age he's not a winger really, more an attacking midfielder which we have a few of at the minute so I'm not so sure that we'd have room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
