Since when have CMs been referred to as 6’s?! 5 and 6 are your centre backs

Since European managers became the majority in the Premier league

We might want another CM in addition to Baker, and a winger in addition to Dembele/Germaine. 
 

Seems fairly logical to me.

If that is the case then different story. But either way, a striker is not a direct alternative to a wide man and I wouldnt want to lose Travis.

Why all the fuss about which number represents a position? Since squad numbers they mean nothing. Sam Gallagher wore number no.9 for years, when was he a centre forward :🤣?

Makes Finneran's decision to move more baffling. He'd be fourth choice CM as it stands and have a real chance to play a good number of games this season.

Not sure zidane played centre back for Madrid? Numbers are a thing of the past

Yeah... If Wharton had jumped ship at the same age I doubt he would be starting for a premier league team now and getting in the england squad.

The stats on going from academy to premier league starter must be tiny. 

I bet if Harvey Elliott had stayed at Fulham he would have had a big CL move by now and be in the England squad rather than a bit player at Liverpool.. Conversely if Bellingham had gone straight to Man U or Liverpool from Brum I think he would not be where he is....

Silly decision by Finneran for me.

I'm not sure he would be.

I think we gave him his debut last year to try and convince him to stay - like when we played Phillips the season before when he clearly wasn't anywhere near ready.

[RoversClitheroe]

Rovers announcing a new signing or is that Trav at the end?

[Browjd]

That’s another signing 

[Theaxe15]

Travis surely 

[KentExile]

Is it not Jalil Saadi at the end?

First time I've seen a goalkeeper wearing number 9 

[MarkBRFC]

Clearly Saadi at the end.

No I think they are asking about the 2nd last player.. is that Travis? Doesn't look like it

Don’t think so, showed everyone else’s face and the audio changed to “shots fired” when it showed whoever it is. Unless they are announcing a new deal for him 😂

Yes, I think so. Having watched Saadi play, he's somewhat lanky.

We offered him a contract extension in May. He didn't appear to be one that signed it based on the report of most youngsters signing the contracts that were offered to them (except Finneran). He has (or had) a 12-month option which, if we've triggered it, will see him stay here until next summer. Or he's signed a new contract.

Either way, the club doesn't appear to have announced anything about it.

Yeh that was odd at the end. You show everybody's face,  but the last 2 players..
