Louie Barry

He’s not one who I’d be going for. Think he’s similar to Conway… hard working and sharp, but not exactly blistering pace

I would say though, depending how Edwards sets us up, we could be playing with two strikers and needing four in the match day squad maybe?

In which case two similar of one type and two similar of another type (big, aggressive & pacy) would possibly make sense?

I think Edwards will be setting up with two 10s and one 9, like he did for Luton last season.

Azaz ---- McGree
--- Conway ----

Whittaker would play as a RW, but he can move into Azaz's no 10 position if Azaz is to leave (and we'd sign a RW/RWB to replace him).

Burgzorg is also more suited to this formation.

If Edwards wanted to play with two 9s, I don't think we'd have sold Coburn so quickly after Edward's arrival.

Barry doesn't really suit the system, and would be too expensive (£5-6m+?) in my opinion.

Do you not think Whittaker is likely to play behind the striker if we did line up like that?
I think Azaz/McGree/Whittaker/Burgzorg would all be competing for those positions.
We would probably need to sign proper RM and LM or wingbacks as we don't have any players in the squad really suited to those positions.

Would be a strange move, when we don’t have any!

We need to add 7 or 8 players to the squad so I guess there's space to bring in those players if we need to.
But yes it's a big change from what we have now.

If we did play a 3-4-3 it might suit Azaz and Whittaker better playing in a front 3 either side of Conway.

I do think Whittaker will play behind the striker, but in terms of current squad, without any signings - I think Whittakers the only player who can play RM.
I don't like Ayling as a RM, Forss doesn't defend well, and I think it's too much of a step up for Josh Dede.

- - - - - RVDB/Ayling - - - - Fry/Edmund - - - - Borges/Lenihan - - - - -
Whittaker/Dede - Morris/Barlasar - Hackney/McCabe - Bangura/Silvera
- - - - - - - - -Azaz/Gilbert - - - - - - - McGree/Hamilton - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -- - - - - Conway/Forss/Burgzorg - - - - - - - - -- - - - -

Definitely need to sign at least one proper LM and RM based on the current squad.
 
Barry's best position was on the left behind the striker, cutting in and happy to bang them in from 25 yards. He's not a genuine CF, good feet and skills. Quick but not lightning quick. Good team player, battles well without putting his foot in.

He's definitely one to consider if Azaz goes.....but honestly don't think they could both play in the same team.
