Realistically I think we’ve got our Starting XI sorted now for the season, unless we get a RW and play James centrally. But even still I’d be very happy and optimistic going into the season like this.
This is the first time in a long while that we actually have a manager that’ll get results even with worse players, usually it’s been a case of a poor manager misusing a squad but it’s the opposite now except we’re improving and have a decent first 11 now.
I think we’ll definitely be after a CB on loan to cover but I doubt we’ll be going for anyone that’s gonna be regularly challenging for a starting spot. Think it’ll be more like a Sidibe signing where he’s gonna sit on the bench most of the time and isn’t expected to massively impress when he plays, just does the job.
After that we won’t go for a RB if Kenny doesn’t go and it’s looking unlikely now seeing as he’s not been linked and Carlo has said he’s happy with the full backs.
We are short on the right but James can play there and I think it suits Coleman a lot more now to just be able to focus on the defending. Richy could always be shifted there and put Gordon on the left, think most people would be happy with that too. Be good to see a young player coming through and being able to express himself with good players around him to feed.
Think it’s madness to get rid of Kean but if a good enough offer did come in you’d have to look at it. Not sure we’d be able to replace his potential value if he did come good but then again if he’s not contributing his value will only go down and it’ll be money wasted. Also think it’s hard to replace a third choice striker for decent money these days, everyone’s so expensive for unproven quality.
Big season ahead but think if you’re not optimistic after the effect Carlo has had on the club so far and the direction we’re clearly pulling in well then football is not really for you.
