Ismael recruiting ready to play 3 centre halves.

Left sided centre half and De Neve who will most likely play left wing back. 
 

Certainly think wing back is Britain’s best position.

I’m fairly certain we were linked with Nade a couple of years ago as well.

 

another centre signing is needed given we only have Carter and Hyam fit for pre season, Batth hasn't re-sign yet and Wharton won't be ready for pre season. 

Where does Kargbo, Cantwell and Hedges fit into the team or what Gestede has said about wanted a right wide player? 

[DutchRover]

I suspect that defenders are cheaper than forwards, can imagine a situation where Kargbo and Cantwell play behind Ohashi/Gueye as a 3. Saves us buying more expensive wingers to replace Dolan etc.

Worth bearing in mind most of Kargbo's best performances as Cesena actually came playing as a 10 not a winger.

I dont have much of an opinion, I dont have any opinion on the quality of the player.

I am just speculating as to where he may fit in. You are questioning me and only me as if I have said he is shit and I am appalled by his potential signing.

eh? 

Not at all. Wouldn't surprise he we play him wide right or left tbh. 

[DutchRover]

Assuming no signings, perhaps Ismael is aiming for something like:

Toth

Hyam. Batth, Wharton

Brittain, Trav, Tron, Ribeiro

Cantwell, Kargbo

Ohashi

How would Kargbo fit in though? A player who the club seemingly spent ages trying to sign.

And also, Gestede was quoted as saying a right winger is on the list of positions he wanted to fill.

46 games. Sure we’ll play plenty of them with 4 at the back, but it appears he wants the option of wing backs

Definitely looks like a LWB more than a LB...Looks quite handy going forward and does seem like he has abit of pace.

Another wide player that can't cross.

CF playing in a 2, running onto things in the channels I'd guess.

Could Pickering perhaps be going?

Potentially to be used at left centre back? 
 

In a back 3 ofc.

Probably his best position. He doesn’t have the pace or crossing ability for a wing back in a back 3 formation.
