Keyblade Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Never really rated Jenkinson myself, but he is a massive improvement over Hutton and quite a good player at this level too if i'm being honest. Would be a superb signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a more than decent premier league player, so if he wants to drop down to The Championship, that's fine by me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 11, 2016 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hutton has lead such a charmed life that I can see Jenkinson getting a season ending injury in his first game for us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hutton is more than decent for where we are, he's one of my favourite players for what it's worth, he wears his heart on his sleeve and always gives 100%. I also think that Jenkinson would be an upgrade, although it'll probably be on loan if at all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see it though. Maybe in the summer if we manage to get promoted and even then it would be a class signing. Loan with a view to permanent if we get promoted is not unlikely imo. Its only for 6 months.. he gets regular game time and if we get promoted.. we will kick on under the Dr. He will get the same wages and if not an increase if we get promoted. I just hope if he does sign.. he is not the only one in midfield. We need a creative force in midfield who can score goals too. 2 midfielders is a must. Jedinak McCarthy and a Lansbury type midfielder. Guess we could always use Jack Grealish there if we have McCarthy and Jedinak behind him. Just need some depth.

Johnnyp Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 James McCarthy would be a very uninspiring signing. Martinez (awful manager ) seemed to rate him very highly. Took koeman ( proper manager ) all of 2 minutes when he came in the door at Everton to see that McCarthy is a nothing player and honestly lads he is. Offers nothing defensively or offensively. Maybe they would like to give us back Gana, I'd be all for that. Btw im Irish so i should be biased but no McCarthy is a poor player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a solid bottom half Premier League player which means he'll be a good player at Championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good solid mid table PL player. Never going to set the world alight but good at everything, tactically astute. Would be delighted if we got him here. Would stroll this league.

And Bruce will tempt Republic of Ireland star Brady to leave the Canaries with a £50,000-a-week contract offer that would make him one of the top-paid players in the Championship.

Dodgyknees Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I like to imagine Steve Bruce riding a dragon down to Carrow Road to make the bid, whilst ride of the valkyries plays and he is holding a £10m cheque above his head. That's definitely a dramatic move. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think that Jenkinson would be an upgrade, although it'll probably be on loan if at all Hutton has been OK this season but he offers very little going forward. His decision making and final ball is shocking. I think he actually gets in Adomah's way aswell as he gallops into space before passing. Jenkinson on past form will be an upgrade and someone I think we can get permanent if we go up. When you've got Amavi one side and Hutton the other it's a big difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Brady for £10m would be a horrendous piece of business but thankfully it's probably just speculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Brady is a player I like. It does seem that any player Bruce has managed before (either at Hull or Sunderland) is getting linked; Cattermole, Snodgrass, Livermore, Huddlestone, et al Edited December 12, 2016 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
