Ginko Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Keep McCormack, get a couple of midfielders in and Rhodes or another attacking player and then when our lads head of to ACN try playing some variant of 4-3-1-2 with Grealish just behind McCormack and Rhodes, i.e. Gollini/New GK New RB/Hutton Chester Baker Amavi Jedinak New CM New CM/One of our crap CMs Grealish McCormack New ST Either that or remove either McCormack or the new ST and stick another body in midfield, Bacuna for energy, maybe.

Aye there was, can't remember his name now either but from what the Brentford fans were saying that was more of a one off performance, allowed for by RDMs none existant midfield and poor tactics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Named as a possible team for Hourihane here http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/celtic-rangers-target-conor-hourihane-9483056 Conor Hourihane has been offered a new contract by Barnsley as the Tykes bid to fight off interest in their captain from the Premiership rivals. The Irish ace, out of contract in the summer, has had a great season for the English Championship side and had been linked with Celtic and Rangers . The Glasgow rivals want the 25-year-old and Aston Villa are reportedly keen. Barnsley gaffer Paul Heckingbottom hopes former Republic of Ireland Under-21 star Hourihane signs a new deal before he can go for free in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Woods. @choffer goes to plenty of Brentford matches and he said that it was pretty much a 'one off' performance, thanks to being granted the run of Villa Park.

Would be a sort of marquee signing for a premier league return. It also wouldn't shock me if we tried to re-sign Benteke. Would need Palace to get relegated though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) At the end of January if we have signed a midfielder i'll be content. Sign two of them, a right back, a stair master for McCormack and Gabby, an experienced goalkeeper to compete with Gollini and a left winger to add a little more balance and i'll be ecstatic. I want to feel ecstatic Big T. Make it happen. P.S I've no idea how to correctly use colons and semi-colons so apologises for my big list.
