I thought Morelli was a forward not an attacking midfield. Based on what I saw on transfermarkt, it appears he is most often used as AM or SS, but has played CF as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I am confused who is playing up top. Sanoh is the only natural striker on their books right now, I know GARCIA can fill in there though. That is a lot of weight on Sanoh's shoulders. Surely they are brining another quality striker in?

Is he an out and out striker, thought he was more of a wide play/attacking mid that could play as a second striker if needed. Guess it depends how he set the team up.

Based on transfermarkt, he played 10 games at CF and had 3 goals, so doesn't seem like you'd want him to be your main guy, but the service was also pretty bad for HFX last year. I had read that Bent can play anywhere in the front three as well toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigzTFC Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 “Sanoh offers us a different option in the squad because unlike Akeem Garcia, he’s a bigger player who is a bit more of a target player that we will able to play through and he’s also a proven goalscorer and we all know we lacked goals last year,” said Fegan. https://hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca/article/wanderers-add-depth-to-attack-with-signing-of-maritime-college-star-ibrahima-sanoh Garcia will push forward with the depth in the midfield but we do need another target striker. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of roster turnover it is probably a good idea to run with this now and make some corrections later if need be. I don't see a third place finish getting too far away from them by the summer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 God I hope Sanoh tears it up for HFX. Will be really interesting to see how he does because it is a big step for him but he has excelled at the levels he played at previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigzTFC Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Derek Martin@WandererDerek·41m Very exciting additions to our club! To be clear these are our final signings before training camp opens next week. We have strategically left two roster spots available to fill as opportunity or need dictate. Looking forward to getting the squad together and watching them work! Rintaran and toontownman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I don't see this club struggling to score goals with the additions of Morelli, Riggi and Marshall. Riggi has always been rated but injury prone. Marshall has TEN caps for Jamaica already... and they've never been short on attackers. Morelli looks absolute class in his highlights - I know it doesn't mean much but he's had the best reel of the summer signings league wide. Add these guys to Garcia, who was already one of the best attackers in the league and I expect them to do some damage. Just imagine if they could add Shaffelburg on loan.. toontownman and Mikmacdo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigzTFC Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It is true that all of the above players can score. I see the players in camp fitting into these roles: Centre Forward - Sanoh, (Morelli) Secondary Strikers - Morelli, Garcia, (Marshall) Attacking wings - Riggi, Marshall, Kreim, Bent (Garcia) Box to box midfielders - LBG, Rampersad, Sissoko, Firth Left Foot CB - Santos, Geffrard Right Foot CB - Schaale, Nsa RB - Restrepo, Ruby, (Nsa) LB - De Carolis, Kinumbe, (Santos) It will be interesting to see how Ruby, De Carolis, and Sanoh fit on this team. There is tremendous flexibility in roster design with each player having multiple positions. I still think we need more at the centre forward position and defensive back.

CanadaFan123 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 CF is definitely your main concern. The back line looks deep - similar to Forge and Cavalry last season. If Sanoh can give you even Novak-like production you're in a good spot. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 That video is old though so here is the most recent - he has improved immensely so that was unfair. This was two years ago as well so presumably he’s even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Canuck Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) I'm excited about the potential Garcia-Marshall partnership (as well as Bent) and hopeful on Riggi, but I'm going to stay neutral on the latter due to the injury history. Hope the next six weeks goes by quickly...I want my CPL fix again. 😀 Edited February 27, 2020 by Terry_Canuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
