Got to admit, I know very little about the new signings, I think Stassin was a wonder kid on FIFA/EAFC at one point, but he seems to have lost his way a little.
Here’s hoping the new guys can settle in quickly and give the team some impetus for the season ahead.
I love me a transfer window surprise. Brought in 2 signings this morning, only to announce a much needed DM at the last minute.
We needed everything to go our way in order to complete the plan and sign that extra CB, but we’ll have to rely on Iglesias or Agoume (or Marcão ) in case of an emergency.
I would say given the state of the club, and the shock / sadness of losing Oso (and Juanlu to some respects) this has actually been a pretty decent window, and we have signed some pretty exciting players on transfer deadline day to look forward to.
Reading a little about Fofana this morning he sounds very much like a Fernando type player, happy to sit in front of the back line and act almost like a third CB when needed.
To be honest my starting team right now would probably be:
GK: Vlacho
RB: Juan Iglesias
CB: Sangare
CB: Kike Salas
LB: Suazo
DMC: Fofana
CM: Guridi
CM: Agoume
RW: Ruben Vargas
LW: Ejuke
ST: Isaac Romero
Gives us a healthy bench of:
Fran Gonzalez, Carmona, Julio Diaz, Castrin, Marcao, Kochorashvili, Peque Fernandez, Alfon, Felix, Stassin, Robbie Ure
Looking at that bench if we can somehow ship out Marcao in January and bring in a CB and a CM that really isn’t a bad little squad. It might only be mid table at this moment in time but with players like Fofana, Agoume, Julio Diaz, Fran Gonzalez, Felix and Stassin that is a whole lot of exciting potential.
The issue I always have with a player like Peque Fernandez is, no matter how talented of a player he may be, unless you play a specific tactic where a Number 10 fits in, he is always going to struggle to fit in the lineup for me.
So unless we go back to the Lope days of 4-2-3-1 for me he is a bit of the odd man out.
