Could Bruno be sold?

[ewe2]

Calde will IMO will again be competing for a place in midfield.....or the bench.

 

[Machiavelli]

If we only want to fund 8 defenders in the squad ( which sems to be what we've done for the last few years ) then that gives us :

Rosenior
Bruno
Calderon

Greer
Dunk

Chicksen


So we need 2 more as it stands - a left back, and a central defender - to make up the 8. Which still leaves us missing 1 in central defence, in order that we have 4 in that position.



This leads me to think that Bruno will only be retained if :

(a) Ince is regarded as 4th choice central defender, as well as defensive midfield, or
(b) The left back we bring in also plays central defence, or
(c) Glenn Rea steps up to the squad in an emergency as for cover central defence.

Or, (d) Rosenoir plays left back ...
... there's probably also an (e), an (f), ...

This is how I see things working out also.

Rosenior has played 95% of his football as a RB, i really dont see him playing left back unless we have injuries.

If you don't mind me asking is that an actual stat ..or a guesstimate?

 

[chaileyjem]

Worth reading this gushing article about Rosenior and his left back prowess >>

"Left or right, it matters little to the quietly effective Rosenior. With him in the team, City certainly win more than they lose. And that is now fact."

I wouldnt complain if either Bruno or Calderon was sold to facilitate Rosenior but I do not think it will happen. Why give Calderon a new contract if that was the intention to let one go.

 

[thony]

There's an e) option that seems obvious to me:
Calde and Rosenior are both able to play on either side. So both could start, and then keep switching sides to confuse the opposition.
Bruno may well then be third choice full back, or used in midfield, but would certainly not be surplus to requirements.

The simple question is obvious; is either still good enough to be 1st choice?. Bruno could be but Calderon definitely isnt if we
wish to progress.

 

[Albumen]

I reckon Rosey is the new left back, Bruno will continue right back.

 

[Stat Brother]

I can't believe nobody has asked the obvious question.

If we sell Bruno should we keep that Saltor fellow?

 

[Hampster Gull]

I would wait to see where else we strengthen but ideally move on. Bit of a liability. But no one is going to pay us, shirley

 

[symyjym]

A bit extra: I really have no problem with Bruno playing right midfield next season. Especially if we've got LR bombing on from right back, a decent left-sided midfielder/winger, and a fantastic centre-forward scoring goals and holding things up for Baldock to run on to.

His flair and reading of the game is better suited further upfield and he is probably better for us than the Iranian guy in truth.

Does anyone know if we are still after Ward?

 

[Geestar]

Hope so

 

[Machiavelli]

I reckon Rosey is the new left back, Bruno will continue right back.

I think this is a distinct possibility too.

This seems obvious to me, can't believe so many people think otherwise.

 

[JBenno]

This seems obvious to me, can't believe so many people think otherwise.

Because he is a right back, who can fill in at left back.
If we have bought a right back to be our left back, I'll be disappointed...

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Please let this be true. The man is a ****ing liability as a defender, which you know is his JOB.

Get rid. In fact I will personally drive him to wherever he wants to go.

I need a lift the London on the 4th if that's ok..?

Hope not, really not a fan of right footed left backs. Accident waiting to happen.

And yes Maldini before anyone says it.

The player who has played on the left wing for us most over the last few years is right-footed which I think is a bigger issue.

Then there is this chap:



Not sure I've seen a better genuinely two-footed player.
