Ben Godfrey heavily linked today

Spoke to a Everton fan today, he said Godfrey would be a good buy,a very quick defender, who lost his place when Dyche arrived.

^^^

If we add him, count me as happy.

Godfrey is an interesting one and I think is stirred up by the Farke connection more than anything else.

He is obviously pedigree with his England connection but he is just a centre-back and I believe we are looking more at utility players, players who can take up more than one role.

Clubs seem a million miles apart with Everton wanting a sale and us allegedly wanting a loan, which would make perfect sense given the fact we will need to rebuild massively in the summer. Also with Struijk Cooper, Ampadu and Rodon can we guarantee him minutes which is what he would want.

Could happen but I am not holding my breath.

Genoa are leading the chase now apparently. I assume we are after him as Struijk is going to be out injured for longer than first thought. Apparently he can cover full back positions as well.

We need a couple of fresh faces to help get us over the line, including a centre mid imo. We had ALL of the clubs centre mids on the pitch last night with two of them in defence, so firstly, we couldn't bring a fresh pair of legs on in midfield for a tiring side, secondly, we have no injury cover should we lose a CM. We need a CB or Struijk back so that Amps can go back in to CM. Right back we look vulnerable too, Archie is being kicked to pieces quite a lot, he got caught twice last night and hurt himself going up for a header, yeah, Byram can play there when he's not out injured.

Still can't see us signing anybody. Think we're going to tey and skimp it.

Think we need

Right back
Left back
Centre half
two midfielders
willy and James got knocks, so need another two wingers
No ten
Bamford made of glass, so another striker to cover 👍

This has to be another football manager joke.

Is that a number 10 we need or 10 wingers?. I read it as the latter assuming it was another anti-football manager post.

If we don't add fresh faces/legs we'll be taking a huge
risk at the worst time. Several of our current players
are made of glass. To ignore that is going full Orta.

Meslier tendency to punch when he can much more easily catch is a concern, so do we still need to look at the keeper situation at some point, two games running it's led to an opposition attack when he could safely gathered and has met with negativity from the crowd.
On the plus though, I think they said, we have joint best clean sheets in the league, defence as a unit are doing something right.

Bamford? Is he really? I don't want to jinx it but he looks OK to me at the moment, ditto Firpo.

comment by Batty (U4664)

Bamford looks great, right now. And I thought Firpo
was really good last night. Both could avoid further
injuries this season. But, history says not. And
gambling on that could bite us in the ar$ e later on.

Anyone laying bets on Byram, Gelhardt, Shacks,
Struijk, Cooper, Junior, and Paddy staying fit up to
and including May? I'm not. History's against it.

Totally disagree, seen as Leicester have already won it, theres little point them playing anymore, I reckon should loan the entire Leicester team, our current first team cover, but obviously sign a couple more wingers so they can cover the covers cover.

I'd prob recall Greenwood back also if thats possible... doing great, once scored a great free kick in September, we'd need him back to cover for sure.

have this league sown up

We cant win the play offs because history says so.

Probably best to sell some of the stars and rebuild, we wouldnt stay up if promoted anyway.

Blood the youngesters, finish mid table and go again for next seasom 👍

yeah we definitely need another cb. We're playing two midfielders in the back four right now so an injury or two could put an end to autos.

MORE PLAYERS!!!

IN EVERY POSITION!!!

INJURIES!!!

posted on 25/1/24

Keep hearing about Manuel Benson from Burnley, made no sense to me until I saw Dan James hobbling off, Gnonto injured/leaving…although Jadon Anthony looked decent apart from fluffing his lines when clean through, I’ll give him a break though, the pass from Bamford was under hit.

Are you being serious... how the he'll could you think we are okay with 3 keepers?

We clearly need a fourth....

posted on 25/1/24

I’ve not factored in injuries 🤦

Id probably get two keepers in, just in case.

Could be difference between midtable and play offs.

Huge risk

Which of the U21 side that lost 7-0 at home to PSV are you penciling in for the new look side?
