I liked to see the winger go past the FB on the outside and drive a cross in for the CF to bullet home.

Anyone in mind, ascottil?

Yes, you very rarely see that in the modern game; too much of this 'inverted winger stuff.' I liked to see the winger go past the FB on the outside and drive a cross in for the CF to bullet home.

That's what GvB tried to implement...

Belgian media suggesting pre-contract for Raskin is done but deal to push through transfer now should be completed imminently for around £1m.

FWIW, I think Whittaker will also be confirmed over the next few days with perhaps one more on top of that.

 

Not a bad window should all that business come to fruition.

Raskin and Cantwell alone would make it an excellent window. The talk seems to be that Whittaker will be done too. Quite surprised there aren’t senior outgoings because that would leave us with a big squad.

Alexi Pitu ... never heard much on him TBH, and he looks to be a left winger too. His pedigree so far ain't that impressive compared to Cantwell, but who knows.

 

Wonder whether we are still looking at a striker.

and ruined our wingers. 

 

Too little space and too easy to double up.

None of us know if that's true, it's an opinion based on a statement made by a manager who either wants to keep the player, or drive the price up, or get the press off his back.

 

It could also be argued that this shows drive, character and the persistence that we require from a player, to make a move happen. 

 

Or it could be that you've a history of writing a player off before you see them in the flesh.

 

We'll see.

I was agreeing more globally about overall attitude. 

 

IF the initial premise was true. 

 

IF the player was not joining the team out of spite.

 

I think the Anglo phrase is "Throwing the toys out of the pram"?

 

Pitchin a fit.

 

However, I think it is that negotiations are advanced.

Beale metioned transfer outgoings and with finances needing to be looked after, you'd imagine it won't just be McCann  leaving this window.

 

If Cantwell is the "first teamer" in the creative role behind the forwards, you wonder if the Tillman option gets less likely to be taken. I'm sure Beale would want him but can the finances support that deal and everything else that needs addressed ?

 

Beale speaks of 2 players for every jersey

Would that be Cantwell, Tillman, Hagi and Lowry for the 10 role ?

 

There are ideal options and choices but viability increasingly comes into the equation and alters what can actually happen.
