Would be a nice story but is he a good championship player? Don't think he really did much for Huddersfield. I thought he looked really poor when he played at villa park.

Well he was against his beloved Villa so if he did indeed play poorly then I'm sure it was on purpose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 It would be great for him, amazing to see him sign for Villa. But realistically we'll be fighting for promotion and he's not ready for that or the Prem yet with the injuries he's had he hasn't had the time to develop yet. He should go to a mid table team who will be in the Championship for a few years (and not weighed down by Fan expectation of immediately being promoted) to develop his game. If we end up in the Championship for years our fans just aren't forgiving enough to give him time to develop. Would hate to see one of our own get the treatment Bacuna got yesterday for example.

The_Rev Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) But I'd have him in the squad over Bacuna! Edited August 6, 2017 by The_Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I think we still don't have an attacking midfielder. Is Sneijder still playing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I think we are fine with Gabby, Green, Adomah, and Elmo as our wingers. Plus when Grealish is fit he can play there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nnock1984 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gk - Johnstone, Steer RB - Hutton, Bree LB - Taylor, ? CB - Terry, Chester, Samba, De Laet DM - Whelan, Jedi CM - Lansbury, Hourihane RM - Elmo, Adomah LM - ?, Green AM - Onomah, Thor, Grealish ST- Kodjia, Hogan, Gabby Can go - Bunn, Richards, Elphick, Amavi, Bacuna, Gardner, McCormack I'd be hopeful of getting rid of all of them except Richards (who can provide further cover at the back). Would love to to see an established player like Snodgrass for left wing, but think it will be Ryan Kent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no where near enough creativity from central midfield IMO, it should be addressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it would be a surprise - but he isn't even getting in the team. Im really worried we might not buy a striker - and thus won't score enough goals to get promoted that worries me far more than Hourihane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Don't give Bruce anymore money, see where we are in January. We are either sitting pretty and can give us another injection...or we are giving it to the new guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very confused as to what his plan is for our midfield if i'm honest and until we get some clarity then it's impossible to see where he fits in. Are we mainly playing 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1? Either way he's probably back-up to Lansbury as it stands and i can't see Bruce playing them both in either formation. Also, where does he see Onomah playing? I'm hoping he's come in as a (much better) Bacuna replacement - so a more agile partner to Whelan/Jedi if we play two holding mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
