aimless summer nights
By: timmyg | July 21st, 2009After a relatively successful trip to Australia, the tune up for the Europa League began in earnest this evening…
Against Bournemouth and Woking.
Nevertheless, the first team drew 0-0 with the Cherries and Kamara featured after halftime. The reserves won 4-1 against Blue Square Premier Woking F.C. No details, including who even played, up on the offal on that one.
With plenty of rumors and preliminary reports abounding nothing so far has been accomplished.
West Brom don’t seem interested in selling Greening. Crouch is “favoring” Fulham, but there’s no way we can afford his reported 70k/week salary. Zamora is leaving only if Crouch is arriving. No word on Kagisho Dikgacoi. Riise should be announced soon. Like with Crouch, Christian Poulsen seems a pipe dream.
Its interesting to note though that Roy, according to “reports”, doesn’t appear to be looking for more cover at the back after signing Kelly on a free. Especially when Fulham is already thin therein.
Despite having 10 players on the depth chart, I have little confidence for most beyond last year’s starting four.
I’m willing to be convinced about Baird and Kallio.
The others? Not so much. Stoor seemed mediocre in his FA Cup appearances and allegedly wants out. Smalling appears very promising, but there’s no way we can expect him to fill in just yet. Leijer still hasn’t made a first team appearance — and is not even on the first team page . And will we ever see Omosuzi again?
Its easy (and definitely required) to focus on the midfield to greatly reload as Bouazza is most definitely gone, Davies is injured until the fall, and who knows what will happen with Seol and Andranik during the season.
But defense still needs some final touches. Think Wigan may reconsider the Scharner deal? Any other suggestions?
