Transfer rumours, targets & new signings

When did we last have a summer when we signed genuine quality in the likes of Walker, Wilson and Martin? These are the kind of players we would always be in for and miss out on usually, and then we would end up signing chancers.

Smith is a quality L2 centre half. Surrounded by clowns anyone would look bad. Put him in alongside Martin and watch him fly again. You don’t lose ability.

The fact that Clarke cleared out so many and kept Smith speaks volumes.

I’m not sure so we will go the 352 way. With signing Walker to sit in front of the back 5 would that not be a bit excessive? I think legge will be used less frequently this season and some games we will revert to the back 5 but a back 5 and Cdm seems a bit much imo. I suppose it depends on how much we push the wing backs on and it’s always good to have different options rather than one formation like last season

Worrall is wasted in a 352 so I too, as I've said before, can't see that being our starting nor preferred set up next season. Happy with Martin, but it does always worry me when a CD is described as being best in a back 3, which indicates to me that they're not good enough in a back 2 possibly, and need that additional support

Last season, when we signed “genuine quality” (according to some) in Robinson, Whitehead, Mills and Fitzpatrick....

I agree. DC hinted in his last post-match interview that he’d gone 352 to suit the players available so I doubt if he’s planning on that as his preferred starting line-up. With Walker in front of the back four, my guess is it’s going to be three in midfield and two up front. Which three remains to be seen but I don’t think Garrity has come to sit on the bench.

Lots of variation with DC, as we know, both during a game and from game to game, so we’ll see. 

Crikey, all this pre-season excitement is going to go to our heads 🙂👍

It seems Clarke said "I want this, this and this" in a coach and Flitcroft went and found Crosby, then Clarke interviewed him and thought he was a good match so he was hired.

How it should be really.

That's how I assumed it went - with DC setting the criteria for the new guy!

Scott Brown has signed for Exeter as a goalkeeping coach. I think the fact he's gone in as a coach/backup vindicates our decision to move on from him as a first-choice goalkeeper.

Will provide cover if needed, but won't be first-choice. Good luck to him.

 

Spot on! He must feel he's not up to 46 games per season, now? Good luck, Scott - I wass delighted when you signed for us.

Shane Tudor and Justin Miller?
