Well Bruce is the one who gave the ok to both hogan and Bree signings so he should think about that £20m before bleating about being short of finances now . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted April 9, 2018 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2018 (edited) Bree hasn’t looked out of place to me when played so I don’t know why he hasn’t been given more game time to get a foothold in the side. But you could also say that about O’Hare and a few others from the U23s. I guess Bruce has put all his eggs in one basket by preferring his experienced players so Elmo will probably continue at RB until the end of the season.

He should but he won't. He'll have a laundry list of excuses ready to go, absolving him of all blame for the failures this season. As for Elmo, he's been a decent signing and cheap enough. He's no where near good enough for the premier league though, like most of our players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only in there because him and Snoddy played together at Hull. He is absolutely crap...I would rather see Micah Richards come back in at RB than Elmohamady! His delivery from promising positions is as bad as Hutton! That said...Hutton has been far, far better than him this season...and Bree (not sure about him yet)...has been better than Elmo too.

We paid £9m for Hogan I believe ..rising to £12m but presumably as it's based on goals scored it's safe to say we paid £9m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 He isn't a right back, but at least he can whip in a cross, which the majority of our squad seem to be utterly incapable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't call him a good crosser. Although he has put a number of good crosses in this season, he is just as likely to kick it straight out or hit the first man, he's very inconsistent in that respect. I certainly don't rate him as a defender, and I'm a little surprised that his shortcomings haven't been exposed as often as I thought they would, but he still justifies selection by allowing Snodgrass to cut infield when he overlaps. Bree just doesn't seem to be particularly good at anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 He got into good positions tonight and was full of energy but his crossing was woeful. No variation He did a lovely dummy that fooled the defender though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Everytime I watch us live I think he's one of our best performers. I was against the signing aswell but he's proved me wrong. Surprised at the amount of people in the other thread who want him gone in the summer. For a start he has two years left on his deal. Would have no issue if he's at right back next season.

Guest av1 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Looked like he did his hamstring, if so his season is done. I'm guessing James Bree will come in on Tuesday, and possibly the final should we get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASTY_LEE Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Bree has played at LB so Hutton could switch as he did tonight. TBH it's all we have so it has to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2018 Think it will be bree on Tues. Hope he does well enough to hold his position should we get to the final. This is bad news as it limits Snodgrass's game too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
