The Winter 2018/19 Transfer Thread

[Johnny75]

We don't have fullbacks who are ours to make that work.

 

[YoungWolf]

We won’t be changing the defensive structure either ha!

 

[The Bear]

I still think Dendoncker would make an excellent CM. His highlights video was all full of great play in that area more than anywhere else.

It's not one or the other. Clearly the priority is another wing back, and who knows - that person may be also able to play at full back. For the level we want to get to, another CB wouldn't surprise me but I'm guessing that's for the summer. Two new players in Jan would do the job, a wing back and an attacking player.

 

[Lupo]

If there was any way we could get that deal done we should move heaven and earth to secure it.

Definitely. I want Jimenez signed too

Of course it's one or the other. We don't have the players that City do and their the only team I can see that can switch from 3 to 4 at the back.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Spurs can too if everyone's fit (which is increasingly rare with them these days)

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Juve have done it a lot the last few years.

 

[b3h]

Chelsea? Or do you mean without making any subs

 

[Johnny75]

Chelsea? Or do you mean without making any subs

Not under Sarri.

So that's 3 teams. And we haven't changed our formation in 12 months.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And we aren't going to start changing it now. Nuno wants to play this way, and it has suited us pretty damn fine in his tenure so far. The last thing I want to see is 4-4-2 Mike Bassett homages in gold and black.

 

[Tredman]

Its not even up for debate, the whole club now plays 3-4-3, we ain't changing the 3 at the back while Nuno is still at the club.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely correct.

 

[Norman Deeley]

What sort of manager does Nuno think he is? Dean Saunders could play four different formations in the first half!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Competent if that is the comparison.

 

[jlo]

Well I don't think a CB would be out the picture come next summer, I don't think we have as much strength in this position as others too. However this isn't the priority in January.

Plus I'm not saying we should switch to 4 at the back, just that it's completely off the table right now with our players. More versatility wouldn't be a bad option.

 

[malta mick]

Who do we think currently would play the Coady position if he was to be injured ?

 

[Tony Towner]

Saiss would be my guess, potentially Boly.

 

[darlowolf64]

Even Dendoncker

 

[Deano]

Dendoncker.
