Confirmed Signing James Garner

[ricer10]

Good call by FL not to use him today … Maupay / Gueye are veterans who could cope with the energy / emotions of a derby. Let the kid get settled and rotate in with a good chance of success

 

[Kev The Rat]

He fits on the bench and in rotation. He's 21.

Onana is 20. And the bench is not my definition of fitting in

Onana is 21. But regardless, did you expect us to line up with a 4-6-0 formation. You need a bench, you need a squad, you fit in by contributing to our performances whether you start or are brought on.

Maybe swap him with Onana since you think he's so crap.

 

[MikeH72]

Not sure where he fits in now

Onana, Gana and Iwobi are the first 3 names on the team sheet with Pickford

Gana is 33 mate.

 

[Runub]

I think he'll get plenty of game time this season.

Definitely….plus World Cup year and the games will be coming thick and fast. Need depth In the squad as we will need to rotate. First time in ages we have proper options in some areas

 

[Kev The Rat]

Gana is 33 mate.

this idea that players get rotated I don’t think is born out in reality unless you’ve got 2 title winning sides at your disposal like City.

At least not your best players like Gana, Iwobi and Onana.

For example did Gana ever miss a league game for us in 3 years?

Obviously injuries are a different matter and if there is long term one for any of those 3 then he comes into play.

15 in the league alone.

15 in the league alone.

Wikipedia claims 9 now that I’m looking at it, but even if it is 15 that’s only 5 games a season

5 games per season that someone needs rotating in

Is the idea that 11 players aren’t going to play 38 games in a season born out in reality Kev?

 

[Kev The Rat]

Is the idea that 11 players aren’t going to play 90 minutes of 38 games in a season born out in reality Kev?

My point is he’s not going to be first choice, considering he was our second most expensive signing of the summer you wonder if we could have put the money to use elsewhere like striker if ffp was a consideration in not bringing one in apart from Maupay.

He cost £9m? Cheaper than Onana, than McNeil, than Maupay, only more expensive than - obviously - the loans and the free and Gana.

 

[Kev The Rat]

He cost £9m?

But that striker wouldn’t have been first choice either because DCL would be coming back??
