The Squad planning thread

[Gabriel]

Txiki had the numerous options, ask @Gumzy97 who knows more about Viana than me but once he fixes on his A & B choices he always gets one of them.

Maybe, but as we have seen this winter, much can change in football.

 

[WRicko]

Dadason as according to Spanish media.
Marmoush is the same as Semenyo, he is not a striker, he can not play like Haaland, so we have to adjust.
Guehi can play left or right but he is small and not fast, Solet is big and quick, but he would be the temporary replacement for Akanji and Stones, not Gvardiol, Ake, Dias or Khushanov

According to Spanish media ? What exactly ?

 

[Cobwebcat]

Anderson and one other depending where NOR plays next season.

It’s great we agree that Nunes as a midfielder isn’t good enough but at fullback is more than adequate.

That's tge point...is " more than adequate" good enough to win you leagues and cup finals? I don't think it is.....certainly not CL and prem

And again I ask, who is better? You talk about someone but who can we get that will instantly be better?

Don't mind him. Nunes contributed to two of our goals today and held down the right side, yet he's "substandard".

Brighton keeper being linked with Chelsea and bayern today.

Brighton were very keen on Trafford before he moved to Burnley (see my posts on his thread in the academy forum) so they may come back in for him if their supercomputer thingy still says he is good.
Would be a good move for him to get first team football although a shame for us to lose him because he is a very good keeper.

+ homegrown

Still think Archie Gray would be a good addition. Unconvinced that we need an orthodox right-back (ala Kayode) and Gray is young (younger than O'Reilly), tall (taller than Nunes), and positionally versatile, which would give us greater utility. He'll soon be on his third manager at Spurs, so if he wants a bit of stability and to come back up north, might be a good time to test the waters this summer.

I have the same thought. Dias, Gvardiol, Guehi, Khus, Nunes, RAN, Reis + versatile young defender is a great mix. Especially with the likes of Mfuni, Alleyne joining from the youth ranks. I would also look at how well Lewis Miley is doing rest of the season.

Donnarumma
Read
Dias
Guehi
Gvardiol
Rodri
Anderson

high chance that Nunes will be defacto 1st choice RB and Kayode/Read will be the understudy

Could see that mate, would only change if someone like Singo was signed?

I'd stay away from Read, just give him a season before signing him, he's had a nasty hamstring injury.

Hugo seems set on Kayode to be fair mate.

I wonder if it’s because of Reads injury. Hamstring is a nasty injury.

Italian media are reporting that we are interested in Wesley from Roma

I think Read has always been the back up to Kayode? Hugo seems to be getting his number one targets so as we havent heard anything else really then i think its likely that happens this summer as well as Anderson.

 

[xmusampa]

Anyone who could actually take a throw in would be a major upgrade in this team

 

[117 M34]

Out:
Stones, ake, kovacic and bernardo.
Trafford and marmoush if they push for moves, which i think they will, especially trafford.

In:
Right back, Anderson and replacements for trafford and marmoush if required.
NOR to push to midfield but option at left back to cover as is gvardiol.
Reis to be in the squad.
