Mckenna really doesn't care about conceding goals does he 20:52 - Jul 9 with 2646 viewsBondiBlue

50 million spent on attackers this summer. I absolutely love it. The way football should be approached.

Poll: Which would you accept?

With an impending Goalkeeper coming, new Rb in Johnson and Greaves our back 5 will look very very different. The best defences in the league are protected by DCM players so expectations for a Flynn Downes type for me still to come in. But your point is valid because goals give you a chance and I don’t think we will be sitting back for 90 minutes with a back 8.

Of course he does, and more so now we are in the Premier League. It was apparent from watching highlights last season that he was less than happy with some of our defending and I am sure he knows we have to improve in that area. We can´t expect to outscore our opponents as often this season.

Attackers In - BillyJean and Rory’s lad (+ Hutch, but he was already here really)

Defenders in - Johnson & Greavsie, plus new keeper for sure

Not sure signings as as imbalanced as the OP seems to imply.

Poll: Right now, who would you rather have as Prime Minister?

My point was that our recruitment policy so far indicates that we are going to continue to try to outscore teams. And i'm into it.

I don’t think we will change our identity that much I agree. That said our away record and how we set up away from home will suit the Prem. I don’t think we will be quite so gung ho at home but I could be wrong.

The dribbly nature of the attackers we're signing could suggest more focus on counter-attacking. Knowing mckenna, changes will be subtle - evolution over revolution.

Can't wait.

I think the signings show that we are aware that being able to press teams will go a long way to staying up.

Hutch. Philogene. Delap. All have fantastic pressing abilities. Johnson.. agile. Greaves. Great stamina. Balanced and ball player.

Mix that with Burns. Chappers etc we have a good mix.


CM is vitally important now. We can't go into the season with at least 1 new cm. It's an important one. Needs to be that box to box creator whilst also having the ability to get stuck in.

Greaves 22 million
Johnson probably worth 10 million
Probably another left back incoming
Tuenzabe probably worth 20 million previously
Davis 20 million
New keeper incoming

Starting back 4 for Liverpool

Davis Greaves Tuanzabe Johnson

Yeah hopefully we'll soon be 2-2 for additions to last season's squad. Also our defensive record away from home was one of the best, more 1-0 wins than any other scoreline I'd wager. McKenna loves to win, first and foremost.
