FC_Hali Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Great news! Marsch mentioned how influential Kevin Blue was in his recruitement so hopefully this is a sign of good things to come on the dual-nat front. Has anybody on this forum seen him play? Curious to know what kind of player we’re getting. Looks like he’s versatile and has a decent market value on transfmarkt, fwiw. Reminds me of the Mitrovic saga (only with a better outcome! 🇨🇦). ahmedou, Corazon, Obinna and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sits deep & protect the backline. Great technique & ball retention. Should help us building from the back with Davies receiving more the ball from advanced position instead of CB's Canuckia, ahmedou, finchster and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Let’s see what his actual position is, RM, CM or RB… big thing though is that these are areas where depth is needed in relatively short order. ahmedou, Ottawafan, DeRo_Is_King and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebdeserio Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 The 1 time switch takes a fullback, the 1 time switch gives one back. Think I’d take that that trade 10/10 so pretty great news. Dominic94, ahmedou, Stryker911 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I am cautiously optimistic, but I will only allow myself to truly celebrate when I see him take the field for us. Too much trauma to allow myself to get too excited - even if the source is very official on the Croatian side.

Bigandy Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 We talked for ages about our weakness at CB but I started arguing about a year ago that CB was not going to be our issue as we had some really great looking options coming up. CM was the issue. Now with staq, kone, oso, choiniere, sigur, biello, ali?, dumitru, codihna we are finally showing that CM has some depth. Obviously some of the names listed are huge unknowns but I think cm will no longer be our weakest spot in a year or 2. Now the weak link is fullback (in terms of depth). LB: After davies, sam is unknown how he will return. He's also approaching 30. Ali is not really a LB at this point. So whos the new generation adding depth? RB: richie and ZBG are getting older. Sigur adds some much needed depth. Who's the next guys up on our list. JMR? Cameron? We essentially have 4 fullbacks able to play at CMNT level. Some dual positional players like sigur, ali, jmr, laryea. Some lower end quality, ZBG/Edwards/Zator/Hiebert. But no real clear top end FB prospects like we had with bombito, JKL, LDF etc. ahmedou, Obinna and Corazon 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no real clear top end FB prospects like we had with bombito, JKL, LDF etc. Alistair at RB deepens that side - you essential have 2 starting-quality RBs with him and Riche, and I have always felt that ZBG could step in and do the job. The latter is also only 25 so still has lots of time left. LB is an issue for sure - especially given the perennial temptation to play Davies at LW. Probably our greatest position of need IMO. ahmedou, DeRo_Is_King, Shway and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than De Brienne and I guess Antonoglu, he’s pretty much our only LB with potential that is younger than Davies. ahmedou, GasPed and Bigandy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go with 2 up front or 1-1 then we have the Euro players already. Have to think that Marsch feels Sigur can start for us which would have been the determining factor in him switching. So that would indicate 3 in the midfield. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
