Needs to be sold asap
Obviously we were knocked out before the group stages less than 2 weeks ater the prem even started. Thereby we simply need a smaller squad this season then we planned for last (a successfull europa drive could have added an extra 19 games to our season).
This is why we need a smaller amount of experienced players this year, we simply are expecting less games. For example we brought in Nordtveit, giving us 4 experienced CM, when we only play 2 per game, because we thought we'd also have lots of extra europa games. We subsequently couldn't provide enough matches to keep them all happy (Nordtveit only played 15 games last season, and a fair few of those were in his less favoured RB or CB or as a sub) hence why he wanted out.
Barn door wasn't big enough
He wasn't given much of a chance
"It's the management's decision to dismiss him, we will have a new player in the second round of the season," Muchtar said. "He plays very badly compared to the other (foreign players) who have joined Persib. He had the worst performance," Muchtar added
Cullen and Burke have gone to Bolton.
Good luck chaps.
But apparantly it was Bilics choice so have to hope he is right
Hernandez probably won't get us any sell on value now whereas £50mil for iheanacho (if he reaches those heights) is loads to reinvest into the squad
We need a strong DM who is also athletic and can move about well (Like gueye at everton) and a back up striker if we intend to loan out Martinez
Would also like a new CB but on paper we should be deep enough to cope....I'm just not a huge fan of Fonte, Ogbonna or Collins
Adrian showed yesterday exactly why we've signed Hart.
We need a CM and we need competition for Lanzini should he be unavailable. Let's be honest he's a hot and cold player anyway.
That's 3 players.
Not to mention the other striker I feel we still need.
We're going to OT with Martinez as our only fully fit striker.
Whilst I'm not ITK, I can confidently predict we won't be getting a CB this window (unless one leaves.)
It isn't that we 'need' these players, it's just that you don't fancy the ones we've got.
Fair enough, but I don't think Slav shares your PoV.
I do think we need a CM and a striker (three have been moved on and two of our current crop are rarely fit), and I also think we're a winger light (particularly as I fully expect Snodgrass to go before the month's out).
Reid is far and away our best CB. Collins and Ogbonna have played regularly under Slav since his arrival and we've always conceded a load of goals. Fonte was signed last January and, again, defence was leaky. Granted we did improve in the final 6 games of the season, defensively. But I do think CB is the least priority position. If we went with what we have, I'd be ok with that.
I said I don't think Slav agrees with your assessment.
