Summer transfer window.

Delap is exactly the type of forward we will sign. Absolutely talentless, atrocious goalscoring record and a pretend hard man.

 

[Zatara]

Now do fullbacks, wingers & strikers (and goalie, for completeness) separately

and assess urgency for personnel in each of those departments. I'd suggest the lowest urgency (of the... 6 groups) is for the 2 centre backs and the 3 centre midfield spots.

Again though, would you put it past Moyes to sign 1 RB and use OBrien there as well?

If he does that then CB becomes important.

Central midfield as I stated, depends on players being moved on.

Just because certain areas may be more important to you doesnt mean that we shouldnt look to improve where we can.

No, in fact I expect it. I genuinely think he rates O’Brien as a right back and sees it as his primary position. He’s the exact profile that modern Moyes would want in a full back.

I never realised our lack of functioning competent (both ways) right and left back was only important to me.

…..my thoughts too, particularly surprised at CM links.

I don't mind links with players in any position, as long as they are good players and improve where we currently are.

…..absolutely, the aspiration should be to build from the top down and bring in better than you have. I just think this is more about prioritisation, and strengthening areas that most need strengthening.

I hate to potentially manifest this but with Salad going at the end of year, I could see the RS in for N'Diaye.

Can he play Right Back?

He wouldn't go there, he's a decent person & happy here.

I still think Evan Ferguson would do well, especially if we can manage a decent price and if we get Dunc back in as a striker coach. I'll still dream of Lautaro Martinez but I have to dabble in a bit of reality now and then.

3 goals all season.

Steady on!

"It's the fourth sprain he’s suffered," Gasperini said. "He was out for about a year with an ankle issue last year, so the situation has become a bit complicated... every time he changes direction, the ankle seems to sprain. It’s one (ankle) or the other, but the one he had an operation on is the most problematic, which hasn’t completely solved the problem".

There's a reason I put caveats but I haven't fully written him off yet...he probably needs a year out to concentrate on low-impact recovery methods while he's still growing if he's racking up that many of those kinds of specific strains but the Veruca Salt mentality will probably see that road not taken. I'd still keep one eye on what's going on with him as time passes but that's just me, obviously.
