Confirmed Signing Jake O'Brien

[Old Blue 2]

Is he the first O’ to sign for us since John O’Kane?

We've got one at the moment: Mick O'Lenko...

Henry O’neyekuru.

Not where I would have spent the money personally.

Nor me. Especially when my kettle packed in yesterday. Asda this morning to put a massive £8 bid in for the new one.

Onana.

We were a tarkowski/branthwaite injury away from potential disaster last season.
Season before last, I’m convinced we’d have gone down if Mina hadn’t of strung a few games together in the run in.

Mina was crucial to us those last few games and he scored the equaliser (1-1) at Wolves in injury time (last kick/header of the game?) the weekend before Bournemouth at home.

If this guy is half as good as Richard dunne was then we could have a real player on our hands

Mason O’No

I think with the players we currently have, it would be our best bet. 343 or 3421 with the wingbacks overlapping would make tons of since especially with the acquisition of Lestrom and Ndiaye- they can both sit behind the striker and McNeil Garner can be used for width while Gana and DOUCS/whoever provides the cover.

Again, that is all depending on if our boy O’Brien comes in guns ablazin. He may take time. 20 mil is a lot for a backup no matter how you look at it especially with our holes to fill. If 3 at the back is not the plan, we absolutely have to bring in fullbacks.

Lucky Dyche only has a season remaining then isn't it.
We know what 3/5 at the back does to us.

And as for moving Garner to a Wing back role, or just out wide, he can do one if that's what he's thinking.

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Does Dyche want to, or even know how to set up a back three?

 

[Zatara]

I think (as with all of this summers signings) we wont see the best of him until 25/26 season.

Having wing backs with the squad we currently have would probably be the single worst thing we could do. None of our full backs are capable of attacking almost whatsoever.

Looks like the Titanic?

 

[Titus Bramble]

Don’t really know anything about him, but this feels like smart succession planning - give him 12 months to bed in before Branthwaite inevitably leaves next summer while (hopefully) providing better back up than the Holgate/Keane axis of evil.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Looks like the Titanic?

Yeah mate...I was gona say I've been really disappointed in our lack of spies down there of late.

 

[DanB90]

Looks like the Titanic?

Yeah, he’s massive.
