What's with all the defenders?

[UbiqueLUFC33]

Is Farke's plan to avoid relegation to play 8 at the back?

Whilst new signings are obviously welcome, it would be good to see a midfielder or striker coming in.

Maybe he?s following Scott Parker?s theme at Burnley, don?t let any goals in, cant lose, also why are Sunderland taking all the signings we go for, maybe we should try a bluff by saying we?re offering meslier a contract and then they suddenly sign him?.job done.

Land of the giants settings. Let's hope it doesn't end up being land of the donkeys

[Rev72]

I predict a lot of defending this season

So far we have signed 2 defenders and a striker (Lukas Nmeka). From what i am reading, 49ers and Farke are trying hard to find replacement for Firpo at left back. I think there will be 2 - 3 more signings but I think that will be all.

Gudmondesson now signed as our left back, seems a good signing, defence sorted it seems, creative midfielder and striker to go.

Any time we have misslier in goal, we will need all the defenders we have.

Looks like Farke is going to go with Ampadu, Tanaka and Gruev in defensive midfield. Rothwell has joined Rangers. I don't know about this. I think Farke is going to try to get a number 10 and a goalkeeper.

A striker is needed most definitely, apart from piroe we have no one, personally darlow in goal is ok for me.

As I wrote earlier, we did get Lukas Nmeka who is a striker from Wolfsburg. Scored a lot of goals in the Belgian League. Not so much in the Bundesliga, but he is a tall strong, young, striker.

Yes I know what you?re saying about Darlow. He rescued our promotion.
It just that if he was premier league quality, shirly he would have been in the premier league already and not second string for us.

He?s better than the tw?T they have at Scumchestet Ununited

Yes, and another that has hardly played last few seasons. As for the midfield, apart from Tanaka, we would be playing with 9 players from the start.

And who is to blame? He is also 34, and we are in big time for a 33 pope who doesn't even want to come. We need a great keeper in the 24 25 range, not has-beens. Did I mention the Greece national keeper is 22, with the backup 23? Both valued at 10k euros!

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Surely grab one of the keepers from the EDL who are a bit younger if we can?t sign a top keeper from the prem?

Cooper or Johansson would do just fine in the prem.
