Let's have 5 on our books in case 2 or 3 get injured or have 6 in case 3 or 4 get injured .......
Forget using the allocated wage budget for a decent midfielder and attacker
I think the next few weeks will decide his long term future. He has a real opportunity to get himself into the first team squad , hopefully he grasps it
EMC is not an 8 , he's not much of a 10 . He is a fast, tricky , direct winger/inside forward . With the players we have I hope he isn't played out of his natural position
Rodrigues looks like being Sakamotos back up . As for right back it opens up a huge opportunity for Burroughs , will be interesting to see how much of preseason he plays .
We do need another cm and striker though
His role in the team isn't one that demands goals , look at the likes of Kante , Busquets and others in his position. And before anyone chirps up I'm not comparing him to them .
And I also would hope to see him nowhere near another corner
Sometimes a big character in a dressing room can become too big . Look at United with Roy Keane and Beckham.
Just watching the recent videos recently it seems the squad is coming together nicely. Binks was already a part of it but Rudoni and Rodrigues look lively personalities and EMC seems hard...
He always has been , he loves a camera . Collins comes across quite introverted.
I wouldn't read anything into it , look at last season with all the Hamer theories
Burroughs I think will be retained as back up RB , Dausch is the exciting one who I think will stay also . The other 3 I can see being loaned out to League one sides till Xmas
There is zero chance Gus is staying , he joined them to put himself in the shop window which he did. If he doesn't go abroad I could see him at Fulham or Bournemouth
I think the LB position is being looked at strongly with a view to long term but with two players in the squad for that role other areas of the squad need bolstering first
