Gettin worried about this CM situation
No link to any players and I sure as hell don't want us to play on Saturday with no cutting edge of defence spitting passes AGAIN

You need to face up to the fact we WON'T have a new cm for the weekend. Why panic the window hasn't shut, we will get someone in even if it's on deadline day!

Even if we got someone in today they wouldn't play Saturday. We will not lose, trust me. JC Fulwell

Even if it is a rumour it has to surface off somewhere (sources, websites)
Or you just made it up yourself!

Think that one is meant for the one below

Think we will do a fulham one nil away to southampton fletch to score

Fletch isn't fit! Won't even be on the bench! I do think the way we play is better suited to playing away, hopefully jozy can play more facing goal rather than with his back to it. 0-2 jozy with both.

Fletcher won't be playing though will he

You can bet that a lot of players will move on the last day of the transfer window!. so I doubt if this club will be different!

When Fletch is back I think we will play 4-1-2-1-2

Westwood
Celustka. Roberge. O'Shea. Colback

Cabral

Johnson. Giaccherini

Sessegnon

Fletcher. Altidore

No
He's already said that he wants a playmaker and a left back
And for that to happen he will have to sell Sess

He will play an attacking formation of 4-2-2-2
____________Westwood___________________O'Shea_____Roberge______Celutska___________________New LB

______Playmaker___Cabral_________

Johnson________________Giaccherini

_______Fletcher____Altidore________

Looks perfect

Roberge is not starting 11 when everyone is fit I think diakite will be personally I dontvthink sess will be starting 11 either so I think you will see a similar starting line up to what we saw against Fulham

Westwood
Celustka oshea diakite colback
Johnson creative midfielder cabral giachrinni

Fletcher altidore

Altidore more than happy to drop off hold the ball up and get the ball out wide with Fletcher doing what he does best I reckon 20 goals for fletch and 10/15 altidore if all goes to plan

Well you certainly cannot fault the attacking intent, but FIVE forwards? Just a tad imbalanced in my opinion.

Any news when flech will be back?

Itl ltake a while for Fletch to get going after a serious ankle injury!

Rob r12 we will have 6 players defending (if you count the keeper) and 5 attakers how is that unbalanced

Sess isn't going anywhere

Roberge was one of the top boys on saturday he didn't put a foot wrong against fulham apart from the goal which he was punished for. Berbatov was scared to go near him!

Dave the mackem

Have a feeling that Roberge will become one of the bargains of the season!

7SAFC7. I see where you are coming from but you are asking an awful lot of Cabral to hold together a shape in midfield.
I am in no way saying you are wrong or it would not work but I guess you are looking at Sess alongside Cabral but I don't think he is an out and out midfield player. You need the midfielder who can both break up play and support the attack. If a team man-marked Sess then we would be goosed. GOOD POST THOUGH ALL THE SAME AND IF SUCH A SIDE BROUGHT SAFC THE SUCCESS WE ALL CRAVE THEN I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU.

Paolo said he wants to play an attacking 4-2-4 formation.
I think next lineup is:
Westwood
Celutska Roberge O'Shea Colback
Cabral. Rodwell
Johnson. Altidore Wickham. Giaccherini
Bench:
Mannone
Diakite
Mavrias
Ji
Mandron
Gardner
Sessegnon

Hopefully we can get rodwell

{Ed024's Note - No plays 424 anymore !!!!!}

Weve signed Mavaris on a 4 year deal 3 million euro + a 5% sell on fee!

21 Aug 2013 14:03:16
well just heard vaughan has gone to wigan he wants to be back down there now and another to go is mandron to oldam (loan) and we looking at Mateo Kovačić
inter milan but they want a loan deal and we want to buy preferably

All International loans have an agreed fee to sell.

Would love kovacevic he could turn out to be the signing if the season if we get him he can play with both feet and has a great eye for a pass hopefully this is true, loan or buy would do me as long as we get him for a season!

So many names are being mentioned on this site and has turned out not to be true, so please can you give us the website or source to back up your point please

Papers reporting £5m for Scott Sinclair to Southampton and Loan for Buttner to Besiktas. Left back and winger that would fit our requirements.

We need to close out whatever deals we are working on quickly so we don't pay over the odds or miss out on the last day!

There doesn't seem to be a priority for a left back why is PDC fiddling about with midfield players rather than a left back we desperately need!

Explain why my post is unbelievable please whoever clicked it?

Those 2 players are young and would fit the PDC mould and at those prices would be viable options. If you think not explain why please?

Also, for the second part, why should we not close deals out quickly to avoid said higher prices or misses on the last day?

We are not "desperate" for a leftback IMO, Colback is doing just fine, look at the fulham game, Duff on the wing didn't get a sniff all game, he was absolutely dominated. A creative midfielder is what we are desperately lacking atm.

Duff is so slow that he gathers dust, any winger with a bit of pace and colback is toast

I think Colback will be fine at LB but he wants to play CM. I would get a LWB to link up with Italian Jack and use Colback alongside Cabral.

We could then play a 4-2-3-1 formation with Sess, AJ and EG behind Altidore / Fletcher

Eh i'm sorry WE are desperate for a left back in fact for the last 2 seasons for a permanment one excluding Rose. and the right back we have is on loan aswell! defensively we need to be sorted first before the manager tinkers with the midfield!

And what happens if Colback is injured? who do we put in there?

Yes I agree, if colback gets injured we are buggered. BUT as it stands at the moment, we are not lacking in that area and as you could see from the Fulham game (if you where there) we are SERIOUSLY lacking a creative spark from CM.

Any winger with a bit of pace and he's toast? You obviously didn't watch the asia cup game against spurs, colback outpaced lennon and pushed walker off the ball with ease. Stop talking rubbish.

If anyone was at the game Saturday you would have seen Fulham play with 9 men behind the ball our next home games the teams won't be coming to defend and colback will get butchered and on Saturday I didn't like how he kept getting himself dragged in to the middle a left back and a creative midfielder is what we should be looking at and for a striker give ji wickham or mandron a start against southampton

Yes I was at Fulham game!. Larsson isn't a central midfielder that stood out a mile. why doesn't PDC see that!
