Summer 2018 Transfer Window

[ToffeeTim]

I agree sort of Tim. We're used to seeing Gana play in a 2 DM system with Schneids or ANother. In this system he tends to press in a disorganised fashion and could end up anywhere on the pitch as you say.

I may be wrong, but I think in the system @BlueToff is describing, Gana's job would not be to press at all, it is a much more disciplined role where positioning is all important. The pressing would be done by the players ahead of him, the front 3, the other 2 CMs and possibly one or other of the FBs. Gana's job is to sweep or cover the space in behind the CMs and also when either of the FBs go forward, an protect against the swift counter attack. He does have the pace and tackling ability to play this role but I'm not convinced he has the discipline or concentration required. But that's Silva's job I suppose to coach him properly.

Ideally yes he would play that role because he has the physical attributes needed. But I just don't think he has the football brain.

It will be him or Woodward to go...

One's been there for years and years, and knows the Glazers well. One has a track record of three years and out.

I know who my money is on.

Woodward going nowhere makes the glaziers multi millions

Brighton are actively searching for another CB according to The Argus. I doubt either Duffy or Dunk are for sale.

Brighton have been unable to replace Goldson who went to Rangers. Still looking for an English replacement for the last member of their squad as deadline day approaches.

Oh look at you LOL

 

[tadpole]

It's now just the one CB being targeted according to the Echo - "But there remains hope this evening that a deal for Mina can be struck although Man United's Marcos Rojo and Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma are being lined up as alternatives should talks fall down."

So, distilling this thread's pages and pages of transfer talk overnight (NZ time)....nothing happened? Is that right?
