[Albion] Potter's players

[the right footed denilson]

Alzate might get a decent run out in pre-season. I think Baluta will feature. White deseves a chance but we're chocker with CBs. And you'd have to think Molumby has a real chance. Wonder about the RB who was on loan in Italy too.

Total clean slate, very exciting.
Expect a reborn Propper.

 

[James Bond's body double]

Count Dan James out.

Brian Owen just tweeted that we are keen to bring him but James doesn't want to come

Think this is the problem with some younger players teams like Man United come in for you, you're sold the dream and you end up sitting on the bench. Money and dreams talk. Do think these youngsters need to think of the wider picture agents don't help.

Anyway we move on.

Also think we'll sign Grimes who was outstanding this season and is really starting to realise the potential he showed at such a young age. CM, CB, LB.

Schelotto is exciting going forward but he can't defend. I think his last game for us was at Anfield and he looked like a pub footballer. I know it was against Liverpool but he looked totally out of his depth

No not him, a youngster, Czech I think.

Easy for us to say though, as Albion fans. If you're a 21 year old and you was offered double the wages at a club like Man United it must be very hard to turn down.

Oh, Ales Mateju: I'd forgotten about him

He's been playing in Italy's second division. If that's his level I can't really seeing him pushing for a PL place

You're also going to be thinking, "Well if they want me which other massive clubs might?". No way is he joining us. Grimes, McBurnie, Rodan all possible. James, no way.

It's a higher level than 95% of our youngsters have been playing though. .

The way we counter attacked would suggest otherwise

It’s one thing counter attacking from the half way line with a 4 on 4, our counters would start with 2 players on our own 18yard box and there’d be a line of defenders waiting to greet us.

 

[Machiavelli]

We have no pace down the spine of the team... 2 slow CBs, to be expected. Only Bissouma has any pace in midfield, and up front it's mixed - Glenn = glacial, Andone - he has some pace, but is he good enough?

Spot on

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Spot on

Thank you

 

[peterward]

I think we need pace.

I hope we offload a few and improve the team rather than purchase squad players

I agree about pace, but not just pace, also max fitness levels..... GP likes the press, need supreme fitness levels for it and then the pace to hit on break. If Andone can wind his neck in a tad, he’s going to have a big year imho

The way we counter attacked under Hughton would suggest otherwise

[Nixonator]

If he was brought in to work with what we have (which I don't think is true at all) then we will go down.

3 key signings in midfield, striker and RB/RWB.

Expect a substantial amount of money being spent there on players ready to go.

Andone had that in him at Depor, he has that nasty streak. I understand what you mean, he still needs to be disciplined in his approach, but he can't lose his edge. It would be a major waste if we can't get the best out of him this coming season.

whats the news regarding our South African revelation, aka Percy?

If some commenters on Facebook are to be believed, he's the answer to all our prayers!

Thanks for the considered view above and interesting to hear more about Graham Potter's preferred style of play and players.

Looks like Many Ryan could be dipping out....... I also wonder if Shane Duffy's "bulldozer" style will be to his liking for a centre back? His short passing game has not been a strength and so I wonder if there might be changes afoot there? (By the way, I think that Shane Duffy has been great for us and his partnership with Lewis Dunk has been excellent)

I feared for Duffy as soon as I seen that part of Potter's motivational routines involved ''Contemporary Dance'' - Not one of Big Shane's strongest assets I wouldn't have thought but who knows. maybe there is a budding ''Billy Elliott'' in there just waiting to be released.
