Squad analysis before transfer window

Posted: 28 Jun 2011 02:22 AM PDT

Dear readers, I made the Boston squad analysis and want to tell you my minds regarding its strength and readiness for Premier League debut. We'll start with the report of assistant manager:

Now I am going to analyse my players position by position.

Goalkeeper

Pavel Londak in FM 11

Here I have only one decent goalie Pavel Londak. But I think his skills are not enough for Premier League level. So searching new goalkeeper has to be one of my primary transfer targets.

 

Right back

Statistics of all Boston right backs:

Jeffrey Altheer is the best of them:

Jeffrey Altheer

He was quite good and reliable during all the season in the team. Therefore I don't know if I should replace his in the first PL season because there are many other much weaker positions currently.

 

Left back

Statistics of all Boston left defenders:

Marc Tierney

I believe it's the strongest position in the defensive line and doesn't need a better player for a while. As a proof, Marc Tierney was awarded by Boston fans as the Best Player of the Year.

Central backs

It's the vital position that should be strengthened during the upcoming transfer window. There are 2 problems:

- 1 high-class defender needed

- 1-2 good defenders for substitution bench needed because sudden numerous injuries can cost me a Premier League place in the next season…

At the moment two best central backs are:

Kyle Bartley

Anchor man (DMC)

David Abbott is the young team leader. 20 years old! I will never replace him at this position Улыбка Though I understand some good DMC should be present on a substitution bench.

Central Midfielders

Tamir Cohen will leave the team because he is 33 years old and became pretty slow. Moreover, he has the largest salary in the squad. Loaned Yarbo will return to Fulham. So the best of there central midfielders is Salva Sevilla.

Though he didn't impressed during the season. So there will be serious changes in the squad regarding 2 MC positions.

Indeed Stanton Lewis will be sold.

 

Left inside

Paul Gay returns from loan, and I remain with the only left inside with the below average quality.

Martyn Woolford

Going to sell Woolford and find 2 better AMLs.

 

Right inside

I have big problems at the opposite attacking flank as well. Iain Hume and David McLean disappointed me at all. They both earn more than $10K per week and should leave the team. I have already started a search of better right insides.

Central forward

My headache. Aguirre returns from loan and I remain without a scoring forward. Though I will try to loan or even buy the young talent again. Currently Ryan Mason remain the best one:

Surely I need more dangerous attacker in the Premier League.

 

Conclusion

If I don't rebuild the squad I will fail the season. More than 10 new players will be signed during the upcoming transfer window. Among them:

- Goalkeeper

- 2 central backs

- Right back (50% of transfer)

- DMC (substitution bench)

- 2 central midfielders

- 2 left insides

- 2 right insides

- 2 forwards

Surely the quality of new players is the most important issue here. And how do you think?

Should I strengthen any other positions?
