Wezbid Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) 3 hours ago, Villan4Life said: Bruce has been on record as saying he wants another striker as we don't score enough. Probably because we're not set up to do so, more than a lack of players who can score. Pointless signing goalscorers if we're not set up right. Hogan can and will score but not by by-passing the midfield and going 3 at the back. Build attacks in the deck and attack as a unit with cohesion and purpose and the lines of Hourihane, Green, Hogan, Davies, Lansbury, Snodgrass, Adomah and Onomah will bag goals. Players miss chances, the best in the game miss more chances than they'll put away (Aguero misses many for example). The key is to keep creating rather than hoping for a high percentage of goals to chances ratio. Edited August 29, 2017 by Wezbid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Just now, Kingman said: Apparently Lille had a £10m bid turned down last week. Just read the story. He would probably do well in France, there was a random Chelsea rumour about a month ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucey & Wyness's masterplan is buy so many players that other teams in the league can only field 7/8 people and we win easily. (Or maybe scrape a 1-0).

Demitri_C Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If he is going to go for a striker id go for gayle on loan. Different to our current strikers and at this level is a animal. I reckon he will end up at Sunderland or hull though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One may bring other attributes* but has broken up a perfectly acceptable partnership for this level and has made our defence a particular target for strikers in this division. Bruce has also left the left back position lacking depth. Then Bruce has bought Elmo to cover a role which was quite strong with Adomah. Then replaced him with Snodgrass. Lack of planning. Then in midfield he bought Whelen to cover Jedinak? What's Onomah's role then? And, once again, what's the plan with the left hand side? Upfront we've stumbled across Davis but he is unlikely to be reliable at this age and have injured duo of Hogan and Kodjia. If McCormack isn't an option then we're only playing one up front and even then have question marks in this area. So whilst I have no issue with the signings exactly, I think they haven't fulfilled our needs from last season and there is far too much of the square pegs and round holes going on. So no, not happy with our business really. *Terry signing was a mistake, but I've discussed that in appropriate thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I can't really argue with any of that and I can see where you're coming from but I think the squad has depth and quality in abundance, whether it's enough to get out of this league remains to be seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
