I see kodjia and Adomah as winger/striker role......I don't see them central leading the line.

I would like a poor mans Giraud ..Type....maybe Mitrovic on loan.

This Giraud you speak of is he Steven Gerrard’s french cousin? Steven Giraud? Or Oliver Giroud?

And to be fair Bruce gave him a clean slate when he came in , I know he is an idiot but I thought he would be the determined to prove people wrong  type

2 reasons I want Bruce to stay on 1Grelaish seems to get on with him , 2 he’s a nice guy and I wish him well but hes no coach and thats what we need

So they're selling Danny Ward to Leicester for a fee in the region of £10m-£12m, yes you read that correctly, £10m-£12m. He has played 3 times for Liverpool, sat on the bench/stands all of last season without playing a single game and spent 2016/17 on loan to Huddersfield in the Championship. 

If there's a deal to be investigated it's this one, there is simply no way in hell this guy is worth anywhere near that fee. 

Good keeper has played well for wales on a few occasions but I  where your coming from Jonhstone would have made more sence for them really

First 18 months as a first teamer he looked like had potential then we stopped creating chances and he became a workhorse who snatched at chances

Yup, if he would have been managed/coached proparly he could have been as good as Vardy or near as

But when he burst onto the scene he seem such a natural finisher? Then the next season he was missing open goals

Wasn’t he injured terribly rather than not given a chance? Genuinely asking as I can’t remember but I think he did his ACL very badly didn’t he?

He was but he was never integrated back into the team after this

I really want him to be good. But he’s not very good is he?

He has done nothing to prove that he isn't good tbf, he has played 8 games and scored 1 goal an important one that stopped the toons from embarrassing  us!  He has done no silly sanchez style erros to cost us games.

I thought he was decent before his exile , Bruce simply didnt  fancy him the same as he didnt fancy adomah but Albert started scoring and the he was forced to start him , I dont think bruce was all that keen on kodjia to begin with either

To be fair if it works and can be used with resources we already have, given our finances we could do much worse.

Based on reports he was very good.

Always looked good whenever he had played to be fair Bruce never gave him the chance , would rather see him as first choice rb though With adomah or green in front, not elmo!

So when most teams are converting wingers to right back we are converting right backs to wingers! 

Thought he and davis linked up well before his injury last season hope we can see more of the partnership this season

He is easier to shift than whealan we don’t nees 2 old cdms cant say Im pleased to see him go but it makes sense in our situation

Could we convert him to a centre back? (seriously ment, like we did with Southgate)

Does he read the game well enough? Hes to slow to play in midfield imo, but I do like the idea of turning him into a ball playing centre back especialy in a back 3 or am I just getting fond of him due to him beign away for a while

Such shame lambert sold most of our accademy player during his reign so man established championship players , Johnson, Robinson , Bannann!, Carrutharers,  even Enda Stevens just to name a few

The same guy on the right who played for Hull as a wing back.

Yes he will really strecht defences with his pace lol

Funny thing is SB got Hull promoted with 3-5-2 in 12/13 and then reached the FA cup final playing it the following year.

Dunno why he suddenly changed at Hull after 10 years of playing 4-4-2/4-5-1 at likes of SHA and Wigan.

We have tried it a few times in his reign and it's been a disaster pretty much on every occasion.

Yes but who do we have as wing backs?

This is the problem how little people undertand about farming in this day and age

Im not against vegetarians at all but veganism is crazy it just a waste of food if we were all vegans what would happen to all these animals on farms?  Sheep wont live without sheperding lambs mating their mothers maggots fluke worms over population resultung in them dying of hunger! Multiple chickens with chicks no food so they eat their own egss and half incubated chicks,not all animals can be pets

It's always been done? Cows don't give a shit? ( though I know some dairy farms, could to put it mildly improve their practices)

It would be cruel not to milk dairy cows they produce to much milk if the claf was kept under her and she was NOT milked the calf would scour due to to much milk and she would get mastits.

Wolves showed a well drilled 352/343 can work wonders, I think it helps not many teams play it outside the Premier League.

Sheff U also did it well this season. As did Paul Cook's Wigan in League 1.

I have zero faith in Bruce implementing it well.

Agree on the 3 4 3 /352 , it requires a mobile cmd who can drop into defence jedi simply isnt good enough on the ball to fill in here I like him but he stops us from playing inmo, we have some decent young players they just need coaching Im very fond of bruce but he simply not the man for this job. Keeping hold of jack and getting a coach to drill and train theese kids and were good
