Our Starting X1 2019/20

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

So to summarize, what do we need?

• Keeper: Covered (Muric, Pants, Steel and Smith)
• RB: Missing 1 (Darikwa and Cash)
• LB: Covered (Robinson and Ribeiro)
• CB: Covered (Milo, Worrall, Figs, Ben and Daws)
• DCM: Missing 1 (Semedo, Watson, Yacob and Guedioura)
• CM: Missing 1 (Silva, Carvalho, Semedo, Guedioura, Johnson and Cash)
• Wingers: Missing 1 (Lolley, Adomah, Amoebi, Appiah and Cash)
• CF: Missing 2 (Grabban and Walker)

RB: Ideally, we should go for a first choice player here. For me Zeffane is not the answer as I can't see that he is a significant upgrade on Darikwa. Would be great if we would go for a player like Robert Gumny but probably not very realistic. I did however see us linked with him somewhere. 

Any other candidates?

DCM: We need another DCM with playmaker attributes. As I have said before I would very much like us to go for Massimo Luongo. Another potential targets are John Bostock and Younousse Sankhare but both are more suited to playing as CM. Maybe Krystian Bielik would be a good acquisition. He could also fill in as a CB.

Any other candidates?

CM: Luongo, Bostock and Sankhare can all play as CMs. 

Any other candidates?

Winger: We really need a winger with speed. Lolley with just that little more pace. We were linked with a Swede earlier in the window. Hosam Aiesh I believe his name is and he does have that extra speed. Other than that I haven't seen us linked with a winger with real pace. One other wingers we have been linked with are Kamil Grosicki and Callum O'Dowda. 

Any other candidates?

CF: Ideally I would say that we need one target CF and one with speed and movement as main attributes. A target CF we have been linked with is Bjorn Maars Johnsen. Any other candidates?
The quick and tricky CF could be Matej Vydra who could also fit in as a winger. Dwight Gayle is another one but I would prefer a similar type of CF with just a bit more pace. 

Any other candidates?

Yes, Kostas Mitroglou.

Right, would you agree that he should be classified as a target CF?

Absolutely (not heard anything by the way).
