Cabrone Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 If we were to sign Wanyama and Osvaldo then a European shot might not be so far fetched. Osvaldo is deffo champs league quality and Wanyama looks pretty tasty too. To think only 4 years ago we in league 1, on -10 and were contemplating the end of SFC and whether we'd still support a new club in the Wessex league. NC saw the potential and now we are talking about Wanyama and Osvaldo.....what an amazing ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if Schneiderlin struggles to get forward when he's playing behind three, and that team would rely far too much on the full backs for width. Besides, Wanyama is a more offensive player than Cork any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also envisage Lallana playing further forward (in the hole) although Ramirez would also be an option. He'd be a waste at centre-back. I have a guy in my amateur team, he's big, strong, quick and a decent footballer. He can run games from midfield. He's played centre-back a few times and he does a job yes but his influence is diminished. IF Wanyama has qualities like Viera or Yaya Toure I don't think we want him sitting at the back, we want him bullying midfielders, starting counter attacks and winning headers. IF he's as good as some people make out he'll be a key centre-mid for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 21 June, 2013 Share Posted 21 June, 2013 Frankly can't see Cork, Wanyama and Morgan in the same team - IMO MP wants the two CMS to be proper box-to-box types that can switch between defense and attack the way the successful German sides do. From being all the rage, the specialisation between DM and CM and AM appears to be falling out of fashion. Unsure if Cork provides enough in an attacking sense to fit this spec. A player like Wanyama also provides some power and direct running which we haven't had since Viafara's poor man's version in the NPC. Apart from Clyne and Shaw, we sorely missing that option, especially in the middle of the park where it's much more dangerous, committing opponents to create space for others on both sides. I think Corky's defensive skills are top-notch, so Wanyama will have to be something special to trump them. But if he can, it might mean that we can take a few more risks with our furthest advanced CM. Davis inclusion has been a compromise, a commitment to maintaining shape and organisation. If Wanyama and for that matter, Lovren make us stronger, perhaps we won't need as much as defensive redundancy in other areas of the pitch. Cannot see us lining up with 6/7 defensive minded players - we really did struggle for goals and find it hard to create openings at the end of the season. In terms of transfer priorities, would have started with a winger and striker before turning our attention to another CM (of course, we may have done and nothing stops us being opportunistic if a good player whatever the position comes available). Still if Wanyama can provide some burst, it will be a start in that direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
