We are very strong as regards first team but I'd argue about depth as regards quality. Yes we have numbers but I'm not sure we have enough depth in quality
We are very strong as regards first team but I'd argue about depth as regards quality. Yes we have numbers but I'm not sure we have enough depth in qualityBut that is true of any part of our team. Midfield is probably our strongest position in terms of depth.
Apart from keeper and left back, we are strong in terms of first choice and deoth throughout the team. What we lack though anywhere in the team is an outstanding player like Hamer or Gyokeres. I see little point in buying more midfielders in particular unless they are truly outstanding. We will have a bloated and expensive squad on contracts which we can't get out of. Just look at the keeper and left back situation to see where that gets you.
We've seen enough of Palmer's game to know he won't track back or harry . He isn't a DM at championship levelIf we are playing three midfielders Palmer is in contention for one of those roles. He plays defensive midfield for Jamaica.
We're way past his level now. Woulf be a disgrace if he starts any league games for us next season.That’s very harsh. He clearly has other attributes. Clueless comment
It's ridiculous to sign players for the eventuality of an injury crisis like that. We can't afford a squad of that size and we would have so many dispirited players and poor morale.How would our team look, if for arguments sake the following players are injured/suspended:
Sheaf
Torp
MVE
Thomas/Kitching
I’ve selected these players because they’ve all had issues with injuries/suspensions. All of sudden we’re looking short.
Andrews will not be a first team player, Allen is not a decent role player, nothing more and he will be gone this time next year.
A point I think you’re missing Herts is that the goal is Premiership promotion and then survival. That gulf is massive, we need to add more quality to get there and the games against the top teams in this league highlighted the gap in quality.
Pragmatically, we also need to plan for a future without Ben Sheaf because if we don’t look like going up in Jan, he’ll actively want a move imo.

You sure you don't mean Lati?
If we can't afford it why are we actively seeking it though?It's ridiculous to sign players for the eventuality of an injury crisis like that. We can't afford a squad of that size and we would have so many dispirited players and poor morale.
Do you really think we are aiming all out for promotion? I am not convinced as we would have gone for it in January if so. Also the best way of doing so is to buy top quality not have a bloated squad of additional players no better than we already have.
I think you are writing Allen off prematurely btw. He was ill and injured last year but was a central figure in the team that got into the play offs. I think he will surprise a few next season.
Would you trust him to play it for us ?Palmer plays dm for Jamaica.
I think Andrews is more of an 8 or 10, could be wrong though
It's likely they are referring to the French definition of the term rather than the English one, given it is a word of french origin."entourage"is allw e need to look at makes him sound like he thinks he Bellingham or Messi.
Or the Sowe"Bernede, however, was not interested in moving to the banks of the Yonne" Holding out for the banks of the Sherbourne
If we are playing three midfielders Palmer is in contention for one of those roles. He plays defensive midfield for Jamaica.
Looks good on paper, but can't help thinking that another CM player may see the end of Sheaf
I bet @BlueSkiesForever jizzed in his pants seeing thisHeard this might actually be a goer
Agree, I think we'll keep Palmer as an option to allow us to do that.I see Palmer now as an option from the bench when the 433 isn't working, to allow a simple change allowing us to revert to playing with a number 10, don't really see as a starter in a 433, whereas Allen could start of required and do an adequate job, he isn't a world beater but is solid
He was openly telling everyone at the End of Season Awards that he's been told he can move on.Allen is cheap, reliable and happy to be 5th/6th choice in midfield. Hes been here 5 years, knows the system and what the gaffer wants from him. Hes one of the most experienced in the squad, we would get little to no money for him what’s the point in moving him on?

Who believes that we are even capable of spending £18m + £4m in additions, on one player ???Yet more nonsense surely?
Some saddo with too much time to waste on making up shit like this?Who believes that we are even capable of spending £18m + £4m in additions, on one player ???
Has to be the stinkiest of horseshit.

Same source that said Wright to Luton for 28 million…Yet more nonsense surely?
I guess that explains were the €22m is coming from at least...Same source that said Wright to Luton for 28 million…
Tea & Busquets thinks he will be a great signingSurprisingly not tbh, I didn’t want to say anything because I don’t feel like I really know enough about the bloke but I’m not fully convinced about him yet. There’s limited highlight reels of him and from what I’ve seen it seems to be only around 10 repeated clips of him scoring low strikes along the ground into a corner which obviously the keeper isn’t going to save. He’s made a few decent assists from the clips I saw and he definitely looks quick (so I’m not saying he’s shit), I just haven’t seen enough to be like “wow, he’s got everything”.
I’ve no idea what the absolute best stats are to use but someone on here recommended FotMob and I’ve been using that recently (?), if you look at his record game by game on there it’s very iffy. One game he’s rated 7.6 and the next he’s rated 5.2, coupled with what fifa say his stats are (which no one likes but I personally find it be semi-accurate), for me I’m sitting on the fence
Edit: thought this was the Konigsdorffer thread, just realised it’s the Bernede threadSo the above is my view on Konigsdorffer. As for Bernede, I’m even more on the fence, can’t find many highlight reels from recent seasons but the ones I’ve seen look alright. The stats for him are a bit better than Konigsdorffer imo but again doesn’t blow me away. I’m just loving sitting on the fence atm
It's nearly school holidays, gonna get worse!Some saddo with too much time to waste on making up shit like this?
Surely playing a player 90mins Saturday, 45 mins Tuesday, 70 minutes Saturday.It's ridiculous to sign players for the eventuality of an injury crisis like that. We can't afford a squad of that size and we would have so many dispirited players and poor morale.
