Could count on no hands the amount of times Zanatta played in centre mid.

He may have been played at centre mid but that's not his natural position. He's a number 10. Any time I saw him play for the reserves (probably 10-12 games total) he was either behind Euan Henderson as a number 10, or on the left of a front three.

I think he's a good player, I do also think for a player that there is a lot of hype around I struggle to think of anytime I've watched him and thought wow.

CMc Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Theoretically, Sam and GMS alongside Gnando and Boyce is a great front four. Would put a lot of pressure on central midfield and defence, but be great to see when we could get away with it. If not, the two of them competing for a place would be a good thing if we could afford it. like so many of these explayer debates, will probably never happen, but I’d be happy.

Yeah, i think 4-3-3 allows us to dominate the midfield and allow us to have runners from deeper positions. Right now, Halliday and Walker have shown good form. Kastaneer or whatever he's called looks sharp and powerful. As does McEneff. Obviously if GMS gets his finger out, he would probably start ahead of Walker. As OTT stated, we probably lack a DM but that depends on whether we are playing with a playmaker in the middle and if the two players at RCM & LCM can provide both defensive cover to the full backs and an attacking threat.

wavydavy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I thought this might be the best place to post this rather than start a new thread. I was having a look through our first team squad and saw that we currently have 29 players. We know that the following are definitely going. Lee Moore Wighton Others that are out of contract at the end of the season I believe are Zlamal Berra Frear Irving Others that may leave although not by their choice. White Popescu Damour Roberts Henderson It is unlikely but if we did shed those players above then that would bring our squad size down to just 17. We also have a few younger players currently out on loan but will they be retained and are they likely to feature in Robbie's squad next year. Be interesting to know who people would like to keep and who they would wave goodbye to. More importantly who would you think could replace those that go?

GinRummy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Irving I’d obviously keep, out of all the others you mentioned I would probably keep Popescu and maybe White.

If we were the only team in for him, he'd sign rather than stay at Motherwell. However he could probably double the wages we are winning to pay down south, that's why folk are doubtful.

Be interesting to know who people would like to keep and who they would wave goodbye to. More importantly who would you think could replace those that go? Would see similar. I do think Brandon will go out on loan next season, with a long injury I think he wont release him early (unless a club signs him) but look for him to go out on loan. Think Popescu will be back up to Souttar, Findlay and Halkett unless we want a youngster to be 4th choice CB. Still think Irving will be off. Cochrane is also out of contract at the end of the season, though sure I read Robbie saying a few months ago is they are thinking of keeping him on past next year. The thing is that we could easily be down to a first team squad (before new signings) of as low as 13 if all those go. But it may be what we need to rebuild the squad properly after years of poor recruitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
