Player Valuation: £90m
Ive seen a huge number of posts slating Silva / Brands / Moshiri tonight.
Heres my take on the first 11 based on Brands/Silva signings when all are fit;
Some questions:
1 -- Which of our other squad players should be in that first 11? The only one i can think of is Sidibe but weve not seen enough of him yet.
2 -- We have both of our centre midfielders out, how many teams outside of the top 6 can cope with that?
3 -- Which of our squad players can come on and make an impact off the bench?
4 -- Alot of posts about not attacking through the middle. Is that not because we have a weak centre midfield without the two first choice players?
I know its boring, and its like playing a song on repeat but the fact is that were only two summers into the new regime and have shifted and brought in a huge number of players so far.
It seems to be a gradual process to me and by my calculations we only spent around £30mil in the summer.
There are still a number of players on the books who need to be shifted (even those currently on loan) and were yet to see the results of the rebuild.
Ive thought since last summer that 2020/2021 is the season that i think things will start taking shape as thats when we will see the results of 3 summers rebuild -- which i think most of us agreed was required when Brands came in.
Im not sure how many more players Brands could have signed/sold (hes done a huge amount already) or what tactics Silva could change with the players fit on a weekly basis (no quality depth).
I think we just need to be patient and trust the process.
