McGree has successfully replaced Tav... It just took a few months for him to get up to speed / develop into the team. The same could happen here with Engel if/when he comes in.
He also has to replace Akpom and Archer too. It’s triple the problem, and we haven’t replaced any of them yet. Rogers has potential as a 10, but he’s not going to score anywhere close to 29 goals, in fact I think he’ll struggle for double figures the way it’s going.Last summer wilder spent all summer trying to find a way of replacing tav our mf engine and the spark of the team.
now 12 months on and it’s carrick now looking to fill the creative void left by giles missing as he created the forward drive.
Definitely not. We changed formation. Tav played in CM. McGree couldn't do it and still can't.McGree has successfully replaced Tav... It just took a few months for him to get up to speed / develop into the team. The same could happen here with Engel if/when he comes in.
We should have signed Giles on day one of the window in my opinion.
We had him all last season so you can't tell me we hadn't discussed wages with him at any point.
This new model is fine as long as you have the spine of a good side in place and you are only needing to replace one or two players who've gone for a profit.
At this point we are not only having to replace arguably 5 of our best players, but also build that spine that'll carry us through this model in the way that Brighton and Brentford did.
