Goats squad analysis thread 2018/19

Surely the PSV right winger?

Needed
Sign Zouma and Gomes -- I think we will get both next summer
Right back -- Wan-Bissaka, Pavard or Militao
Left back -- Sessegnon
Defensive Midfielder -- Neves or perhaps an Ndombele type
2 RIght forwards -- Lozano and id also be tempted to sometimes move Neves there in a beckham-esque role
Centre forward -- Augustin/Wesley

I agree to sign young, ready players. Absolutely.

Sessegnon is a left winger though?
 

oh i am aware of that, it's just when you see the names in formation like that, i do wonder whether we need some 'bench' options

I did mention 2 players who we should sign or aim for similar quality and types in Neves (guile and playmaking) and Ndombele (all action) who can both play DM or CM.

I think we do need 1 more player (after signing Gomes) who can rotate in/out and interchange positions with something different to what we have currently.

Would cost a lot of money but would complete our central area + we still have Davies, Baningime and Vlasic to bring through.

Its all about depth and quality.

The idea of Neves would be amazing but do you not think that maybe he is just a bit above us at the moment? if he was for sale i could see some really big clubs both here and in Spain trying to sign him. Ndombele might be a more realistic signing, but i still reckon some big clubs will come in for him as he's a really good player, another option also at Lyon might be Lucas Tousart, good strong DM and can play further forward, and only 21 years old.

Not at all. Hes from a weaker team and, like us has a portuguese manager -- this may sway him into joining.

At his age he went from a top side in portugal to wolves in the championship so its about career progression.

Hes a little bit different to what we have in the centre already.

Lyon have some class young central players.

He went to Wolves cos Mendes told him to, Mendes will not be telling him to go to Everton Zat.

I see no reason why not?

Portuguese manager who mendes can sell his players to.

Superior club which mendes can see is going places and offers a platform to showcase Neves

Brands and Silva management team + better players

Build a 'new' relationship with a club and get claws into our players via Neves

Commissions and fees


Think hed be driving Neves here.
 
And finally, its that time of year again, with the old season nearly done, we can finally look forward to next season. Lots and lots of changes needed, off and on the pitch, analysis will come later, but for now, this is the squad that will effectively be the 1 that HOPEFULLY our new manager will inherit for next season.

It will be a very long list, as extensive as I can get it, some players will be excluded for now, mainly yoots who havent yet appeared much for the first team, players out of contract will be added and always, its a "work in progress", so people can be removed and included at my discretion.

#Bloated

Analysis to come, but quick math, that squad cost upwards of 362m and 60 grand to "build" and is currently earning 2.3m per week in wages.

Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days
When our momma sang us to sleep but now we’re stressed out

Jesus Christ this was bleak

Wolves would want a stupid amount for him even if that were true.
 
I don't think Neves is the right man for us, I would prefer somebody like Torreira who is like Gueye but a lot better on the ball (somebody in the Veratti mould)

How much do you think?

He is class...different players though.

The RS had Mascherano Alonso and Gerrard...we have Gana Gomes and Sigurdsson.

Torreira would be our Mascherano and Neves our Alonso...

I wanted Neves for years + Torreira since we were 1st linked a year or so ago.
