D'Jaffo Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 9 minutes ago, itzdrk said: Given the make up of our squad if we are getting a winger they should be our random punt signing. Aye given we have Murphy and Henderson I suppose you’d be a bit more receptive to trying another punt from the National League or similar. I think the positions up for grabs that almost have to be sure things are right back, centre half (be in Sanders, Musonda or someone else) and a midfielder. We have Dempsey, Syla and Murdoch. We have no idea how well Murdoch has recovered from his injury and Syla is prone to nightmare games where he gives the ball away. Another body in there who can handle this level would be decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I make it 19 players plus a couple of other youths (ive included a few that you would actually consider capable of playing 1st team) were already at 19 players, I would assume we wont go much more than 22 players for the squad thats another 3 - although we maybe shouldnt be including McGeady in that. If that is the case I would go a RB (with McAlister than covering CB) plus 1 more CB that can cover LB is ideally a fully fit Musonda. Then another CM. Another attacking player that can cover wing and CF would be ideal, although could be Browns expecting McKenzie and Bryden to cover wing and CF. Unless there are a few going out on loan / leaving we already have a pretty big squad. Goalkeepers: Stone, Mutch, Ecrepont RB McAllister, Watret LB Reading CB McGinty, Stanger - tbc Musonda Midfielders: Murdoch, Dempsey, Syla Wingers: Murphy, Henderson, McGeady, Tomlinson Strikers: Dowds, Oakley, McKenzie, Bryden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muZZa__44 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) If we can get at minimum enough players to get 2 starting line ups for pre-season I would be happy can defo have more but looking at hopefully at minimum extra subs: McRoberts, Guthrie + any youths that happen to get call ups (also assuming Mutch will still be out) Edited June 4 by muZZa__44 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both disappear at the same time far too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this is how we should be lining up I’m just saying this is how I would be doing the pre-season matches two line ups each playing 45 minutes (I don’t want to have to play McGeady for 45 but I imagine brown would pick him over Guthrie) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season was bad enough but if McGeady doesn’t own up himself and retire then he’s blatantly stealing a wage. Under no circumstances should he be signed as a player this season. Giving him a 2 year contract last summer was crazy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muZZa__44 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 If he wants to keep playing he’s a squad filler for the first team would rather if he wants to keep going playing for the reserves as a veteran figure for the youth players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc_ Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 5 hours ago, No_Problemo said: That was when we had a manager happy with any random shite as a signing… Yeah, but I would still rather he was at centre half and an actual RB brought in. For me Stanger looked more assured at right back and could be his best position, let’s see. I agree we are 1-2 short in defence, it’s good having lads like Musonda and Stanger that are versatile at least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 David Carson is available for a move and can play RB and CM so whilst I’ve no idea if he’s interested in staying in this division or what he’s currently earning I’d say he’s as reliable an option as we could get for those positions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransferMarkt has him down as a wide player than can play left or right wing, which I wouldn’t say is a position we need to strengthen right now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
