Goats squad analysis thread 2025/6

[Rita_Poon]

11th would be on the up.

Look, I get it, we have a glaring hole at full back.

But we added, IMO, some very decent players in KDH and a player of real quality in Young Jack.

Then there are the works in progress such as Barry, Dibbers and the young Bayern lad.

We can field a pretty decent first 11 and we spanked them utter no mark hipsters Brighton in first.

Its not perfect and unless we add 2 or 3 more players of real quality, then a valiant 11th is probably all we can do, in what is a highly competitive PL.

Lets speak more Monday, then I can tell you the precise place we will finish in May, like you, currently 11th, with potential for Europe if our Strikers, Strike.

Are you kidding, it's been plugged by one of the biggest CB's we've ever had. The mans a monster.

 

[JLW]

I'd be amazed tbh.

What you think we need or more what business do you think we should do in the next couple of days?

[formerly manx toffee]

With Patterson looking likely to leave on loan that leaves 5 spots
2 purchases and 3 loans maybe

Tyrer must also be going on loan I guess. I know we like multiple keepers on the bench but having 4 seems one too many. So six spots

 

[ElGato]

So what are we thinking our 'best XI' is then as things currently stand?

Pickford

O'Brien -- Tarkowski -- Branners -- Myko

Garner/IGG ------- KDH -=----

Dibling --------- Ndiaye -------- Grealish

Barry/Beto​

?

Agree on paper, although I can see Garner and IGG establishing themselves as the CM partnership in reality. They seem to have a good understanding and bring better balance to the team. Something something sum of their parts etc.

That would mean consistent rotation across the front line, which I'm fine with, starting predominantly with Dibling on the bench.

 

[davek]

What you think we need or more what business do you think we should do in the next couple of days?RB

Minimum:

RB
CM
CF

 

[dutchblue54]

If Chermiti leaves we are down to 23 players (not including Onyango and Tyrer as 4th goalie) so surely on the basis of that we should expect 1-2 new players at a minimum. With also still a possibility Armstrong will leave on loan

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Seems like there's a lot of people hoodwinked by Grealish's signing to me.

He's good, but he's not going to be enough or anywhere near it.

Still think this?

What’s the collective noun for a Soucek?

A mediocre of Souceks?

 

[davek]

Still think this?

Yes.

We need more players in.

 

[Igrok]

Yes.

We need more players in.

Correct..anything happened to him we are back to McNeil wizardry…

 

[davek]

I think as of now we look very ropey. We have...

A surplus of ball playing wide men - and I doubt a dullard like Moyes will know how to blend them.

The defence is ok only if we get an attacking RB in.

CM is toothless.

CFs are going to get us about 12 between them all season in the PL.

We have almost no pace...again.


I'm sorry, but we should never have been as disjointed and weak in all areas of the team as this at this point.

We've had a 5/10 window, and most of us know it.

I dont see any reason, with an hour or so to go of this window, to deviate from the above analysis.

We are serioulsly short in defence and up front.
