Is there any evidence we're in for a new CM? With the four first team players mentioned, plus Baluta, Sanders and Alzate who can play there, we certainly have depth for a position we'll probably only start two players if we keep with the 3-4-3.

Only that we have been linked with a host of central midfield signings - Berge, Hayden, that midfielder that went to Berlin on loan that we wanted but too late, Joao Mario etc.

Also Naylor/Argus often repeating it.

Sadly there is no firmer evidence - but what could that be anyway ?

Naylor repeated this morning that we are after a CM.

I know Montoya ticks all the boxes; ex-Barca, Spanish, looks composed with the ball, technical. I wanted him to succeed.

But to see him torn apart and outpaced at the Amex by a succession of left wingers playing for bottom half teams, was simply not good enough. Often caught upfield in a naive move. His number one job was to defend FFS.

Unless we buy a RB this coming week, he may succeed as a RWB.

Can you give me an example of a game where he was torn apart by a bottom-half team’s winger? Genuine question. I have to say I was relieved when Bruno came back into the team.

Adding Danny Drinkwater to that list now!...

That will be Drinkwater then I would guess with talk of a loan

Nathan Redmond - Stains at home. Regularly beat him for pace and guile.
Dwight McNeil - Burnley at home. The talented 19 year old ‘had MM on toast’.
Ryan Fraser - Bmuff at home. Outclassed MM in all aspects, one of the key reasons for the slaughter.

If you don’t believe me and others, then even loyal CH dropped MM for the oldest player in the PL.

Schelotto says he's ready in reply to Brian Owen's tweet that he could be our back up RWB

Very pleased.

More RWB play in the style of Chelsea at home the season before last (where he was our MOM by a mile) and Montoya will be the number 2!

It was perhaps telling that Potter mentioned Webster being able to play as a RB. I don't see us bringing in anyone in that position.

Gotta say that was his best game for us. More about going forward than defending tho’...

Thank you BV, that feels a bit better now... still think we need a RB/RWB, but the biggest gap now closed for me...

banjo · Aug 5, 2019

Getting excited for the start now.

brighton_tom · Aug 5, 2019

Exciting. if we can bring in a centre mid & right back then that’s strong transfer window. Might be wishful thinking though

Makes me believe Izquierdo might end up being loaned out for the second half of the season to prove his fitness.

Bounce for anyone wondering about our squad position

He's not that far off is he ?

Further off than Bissouma... and Bissouma won't be squad training until the international break.
