General Chat • Re: Two Players For Each Position
Think Dallas would the choice for RWB, not sure on Berardi, he isnt really a wing back or centre back, know he did ok there vs Stoke but he wasnt comfortable imo.Both fair shouts. Thinking about it Roofe and Berardi are the main utility men.
Roofe can play both wings, the 9 and 10. Berra anywhere across the back, although I understand the reservations about him as a wing-back, I'm sure we'll see him there at some point this season - can't see an obvious one to cover RWB, unless Dallas (also a utlity man) is considered.
Would like to see Besic or Norwood in to cover/replace Phillips. That gap makes it all the more annoying RV was sold, such an obvious replacement. I don't think we'll see a CB, maybe a loan in the coming weeks but not a perm... and hopefully not Pennington.
From going by what Kinnear said today plus what Radz and Bielsa said there is no doubt Vieira was sold to buy Bamford imo.
"Kinnear also said that the sale of Vieira was part of the decision of balancing a competitive squad and the budget whilst recognising you can’t keep a £7m player at a Championship club where he isn’t 1st or 2nd choice in his position"
If he wasnt 2nd choice for DM role who is? Its just spin. Still dont buy Bielsa rates Phillips above Vieira either, think he knew all along the club wanted to sell Vieira.
Definitely wont see the likes of Besic and Kalas unfortunately, we are skint and thats far to ambitious.
Probably Pennington loan, maybe Norwood but even that looks unlikely.
Hope Kinnear is just trying to be clever, get clubs to not look for extortionate fees.
But i think he thinks our squad is top 6 as it is with maybe some low quality loans.
