📝Will Randall signs

[the_anticlough]

Very good interview, we've signed another smart player

It's interesting that the signing of new players is now starting to overlap the situation of the current players weighing up their options.
While they're waiting to see what offers might be out there and taking time to decide, one consequence could be the club goes ahead and recruits other players in their positions. After today it seems like Nemane now knows we have 2 other RWBs already.

Would we have signed Randall if Nemane had signed up straight away?
Does this mean the club have info that Nemane is moving on?
More questions than answers, but as I say, it's interesting.

I quite like the idea that as our players keep the club and fans hanging on, they might find other players recruited for their positions. Or maybe the club would prefer to hold off to not push the likes of AN, KC and RR away? In that case, it might still be necessary to say please decide cos we have this other option that we would have to act fast on

Sounds like he’d be more of a LWB by the sounds of it?

Does make you wonder if LW has another formation in mind for next season, I think we could set up in a 4-3-3 rather formidably.

I was going on the 'I'm right footed...' comment, dunno, obviously capable of either like JJ

On formation, I've given up on those ideas. That analysis video that shows the angles made by the back three, and the pentagon made with the two midfielders is too important to the way we play - so I think any talk of us reverting to a back four is a waste of time.

I haven’t seen that video….where was it posted? I dunno, Barcelona made a 4-3-3 look pretty fluid! The reason I can see a change in formation is because a natural wide player doesn’t really fit into our system - as in an out and out winger.….unless he is seen as a LWB (we’ve already two very good RWB’s at the club). A 4-3-3 could see him play a bit of a Cal Roberts role.

The LWB comment was only because he said he tends to play on the left although he is right footed.

Thanks for sharing that….yes, there is so much more to everything than what we can imagine really. We obviously have a very good, modern coach who has us playing a style of football we could only dream of. Like AC suggests, it is hard to see how he can live away from a three…..but going forward someone will find a better way, maybe LW is that man!

Don't you think it's more likely he will be coached to fit our system rather than change our system to fit him in?

Probably….I just wondered, given the players we have…and signed….if LW may mix it up a bit. I’m not going to doubt ‘the radar’ but Randall looks like a Roberts type signing, who could only really play out wide right and cut inside. Is he any better than Austin at AM?…not sure, he looks very one footed. If we’re going to stick with wing backs then surely sign someone who has played that position and offers more going forward than Chicks? Just musings of an amateur though!

This is worth a look AC. *scroll down the page to see all*

Cheers Gump - from those it seems like this right-footed wide-man/winger rarely plays wide right!
He looks like a No.8 as well and an impact sub (which we'll need more of next season)
