Confirmed Signing Amadou Onana

[gedefc]

To be fair that kind of midfield has us safe before we kick a ball until the Everton injury jinx kicks in.

Just the scoring goals to win games thats the issue now..

No mention on sky sports about it,still west ham bound

Theyre the slowest to everything tbf

 

[catcherintherye]

Yup BUT we didn't.

West Ham have been in the division 9 years though since their last relegation - tbf they've only had two relegations in the past 20 years and weren't even in the league when the prem started mate.

But by all means yes they are a far bigger draw than us, as are Palace, Forest, Villa and pretty much every other league team in the land of seeing though in the context of one or two seasons

The thing we have, is a good young coach who is well known. But also in this instance, he knows he will be 1st choice here. At West Ham he will be behind Soucek and Rice, who to be fair are both very good.

Think West Hams plan is for him to replace Rice and have a season bedding in. It's how Moyes likes to do it, and Moyes will be quite honest about it to players.

Here, he will be straight in the 1st team.

The lack of any creativity in that midfield 3 scares me. I'd rather Iwobi start who will at least carry the ball and look to link up with the striker. I dont think you'd need Onana, Gueye AND Doucoure in hte same midfield.

HOWEVER.

It would be nice to have players who can slot and change and do each others jobs game-to-game.

if we get O`Nana and Gueye we might be surprised and see Allan moved on

Looks an absolute beast do like the methodical way KT is doing business the one glaring issue is up front we are clearly waiting on Broja or another on loan but with so many games in a short period we better not be waiting long

 

[TyphooToffee]

If we don’t concede we don’t lose.

We had a very successful strategy of a not great quality striker up front with Marcus Bent once upon a time… we just need someone up top Who can run all day (and hopefully has a better skill set than Marcus did)

I was thinking the same. There are still opportunities from corners and free kicks. Having an extra 6'5" presence would certainly help

 

[Oasis1878]

They finally put the green training gear on sale

Or Kenwright’s stopped using the transfer kitty for his food bills

 

[andy4efc]

We may actually have a DoF working with rather than against a manager with a plan mate

Feels weird even saying that.

I just threw up at the thought of the club working together.

Although I dont blame Brands, Moshiri 100% interefered and didnt let him do what he was paid for, and takie the responsibility of it.

 

[allen]

Be nice to put West Ham back in their box by getting this one done.

They’re getting a little bit above themselves lately

We’re also getting a little bit below ourselves lately.

Would be nice to restore the natural order of things.

 

[Houghty19]

Just the scoring goals to win games thats the issue now..

We didn't do much of that last year and stayed up so with a much improved midfield I'd be confident of staying up with the team as it is. Although agreed I would like a striker in as well.

Alan myers will have the exclusive about Sunday on sky

 

[Wrighty]

Ya let's go next season with the midfield we had last season which was horrific

I get your point, but we also now have a CF in DLC that is made of glass it seems and Richi has gone. we could do with both but we got no £££

It would be nice to have players who can slot and change and do each others jobs game-to-game.

With Onana and Gana as a base you could play Alli or a Doucs as a ten would be so great to sort the midfield out with options, we have needed that for years! I have to hope this wouldn't stop us loaning a forward or two as well.

We aint challenging for europe this season so I'm not fussed if we dont get all that we need until 31st August tbh.

This season is all about pushing top half - Chelsea and Villa away our first 2 games will both be back to the walls defending and hoping to nick a scruffy goal anyway.

Signing a CF wont make much difference to the game plan of those 2 games realistically providing Dele can step up and hold the ball as a target man type forward.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I will say that this sounds like the sort of signing we should be making

Young, highly rated, not just someone who we've seen in the Premier League

He ticks all the theoretical boxes

Whether he can actually play remains to be seen of course, but I can't complain about the scouting for once
