See Lozarno being linked again but I think our front three is sorted now and don't see him getting in ahead of Ricco - maybe we're lookin to cash in on him if reporting true about HL? If Ricco stays, as much as I like HL, I'd rather spend to strengthen with quality in def.

Reckon he will move James inside to were Gomes is playing and rotate midfield.

I disagree about the front 3 being sorted, we don’t have much quality cover If we get an injury or two. Kean not looking up to it at the moment, Walcott, Bernard and iwobi aren’t good enough.

{Ed0666's Note - I’m saddened about Bernard not kicking on I had high hopes for him

Totally agree with Cookie, if Carlo can get himself a right winger I think James will get more games in the middle than Gomes.
More importantly is trying to get Mina to play like a centre back, he scares me more than Yobo and Stones put together.

Bernard was quality vs ‘salford’ an will get another chance midweek, but based on our 2 prem games, who is going to get a chance in that team apart from a centre back? We could still up up with zaha, him tomori and arias would be nice.

Ed0666, why do you think Bernard hasn't kicked on? Is it because of the rigours of the league or is it to do with the problems with his mental health/ anxiety that has made him stagnate? For me, he's one of those players that you want to see do well every game but he doesn't score or assist enough. It would be a shame to see him go.

{Ed0666's Note - I’m not sure pal. It’s not a cultural thing as he has Richie and the Brazilian lads at Liverpool to knock about with. Maybe it’s a tactical thing? Maybe he should play more centrally where he can affect play more a bit like the Bobby does for Liverpool. With Ancelotti favoring a 4-3-3 maybe that’s the way forward. I hope it’s not a psychological thing as no one deserves that.

The problem with Bernard is he doesn’t really have the pace to play out wide for us and his decision making is poor which ruins him down the middle

Good player who had some good games for us but he only plays well maybe 4-5 games a season in the league which isn’t enough.

{Ed025's Note - i agree swan..

Ed0666, cheers for the reply. Never thought about the positional side of it, wasn't he predominantly an attacking midfielder rather than a winger before we signed him? As I said previously, he definitely had mental health troubles, fingers crossed the lad has got them sorted.

{Ed0666's Note - Correct mate he played as a playmaker under Fonseca at Shakter. Actually he was part of three attacking midfielders who were given the freedom to roam the other two being marlos and taison. I agree mate let’s hope he can banish his issues as their is a fine player in there.
