One of the top 3 players in a specific position based on a standard formation of 4-4-2 or arguably now a 4-3-3. For example that allows only 3 world class left backs but 6 world class centre backs
Potter seems like a decent fella, I imagine he is happy to sit down and discuss his plans with any of the squad and will be suggesting to some that they currently won't make the 25 in the hope they will get onto their agent and help get something moving. From that '29' there are probably 8 or 9...
I can't believe nobody has spotted what is going on here. 26th July DA phones TB, DA: We've been trying all summer to sign some players but it's nearly the end of July and just like every year this is the week when we need to sign the players. TB: Get lost Ashworth I'm no idiot you can only...
The video released in the announcement shows some sunny skies and a number of individuals who work for the club in a media capacity. There must've been scores of people who knew about it yet no leaks at all
Very exciting, getting things done early give Potter and the squad the chance to all be up to speed for the start of the season. A striker before pre-season starts and I'd be delighted
This looks to be a very astute signing, an international player who can play in more than one position and we don't even think he will be in the starting line up.
I had said I wanted 3 new signings this summer but to have 2 in the first week would leave just 1 more in 2 months...this is too...
We also need to consider who a player is joining and which other squads will we be strengthening by selling. I'd rather sell Dunk to Chelsea than White to Leeds
He never looked any good, even when playing in a run of games he looked unfit and lacking in ideas. Considering how long we had been in need of a pacey striker I had such high hopes
I hold nothing against him for finding a new club after we allowed his contract to expire. He was given a better offer which decided not to match, I'm unsure why however I completely understand why we broke our transfer record to sign CMS who at the time modelled all of the attributes we were...
Solly is a wonderful professional who can play a number of positions and will regularly give you a solid 6 performance wise. He seems to be able to follow the managers tactics and is selfless in doing what is asked of him. No matter what formation we could set up with I don't think he would be...
Very much this, set pieces can be the difference in a number of games and for a side who can pass and retain possession quite well we often find our attacks nullified by winning a corner/freekick. If we could develop a few routines that could give us an extra 5/6 goals a season then we will be...
