I meant Glenn Whelan, but I’m all seriousness, push Hourihane further forward with JDH and Bjarnason as a reasonably energetic trio (Jedi if more height + physicality is needed). We’ll probs get some spurs kid as part of any deal though. I am hoping they’ve planned for the eventuality of losing Jack as it ain’t exactly come out of the blue (fingers crossed). I’ll be pretty gutted but at least FFP will be sorted as I’ve alluded to. It’ll give us chance to consolidate and rebuild, hopefully around a nucleus of experience and youth that can be built upon; viz. Southampton, Bournemouth, Swansea Mk1. but we have a higher ceiling as bigger club. This is what I hope from the new owners, sensible concise building 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bad enough helping other teams players get better without being made to play them when they are crap! Woodburn is not crap - he's the best Welsh player for his age since Giggs. It's natural for Liverpool to want him getting playing time - and he will get more at Sheff Utd - than at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 After making a point of saying nobody is for sale and having just taken over, I think selling Grealish now would be a massive own goal. If that does happen, and I wish Spurs would just **** off and die, there needs to be some pretty shit hot players coming in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skills Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 17 hours ago, pas5898 said: Used to live in Shrewsbury and went to quite a lot of games. Ryan woods played pretty much every game from 2013-15. Woods is a quality player, and exactly what we need. He picks the ball up off the defence (composed under pressure) and immediately looks for a forward pass. Any sort of possession or passing rhythm will run through him. you pretty much defined what Lansbury used to do at Forrest. Problem is we prefer to have either Whelan or Jedi in that role who are better suited without the ball. If we do get Woods in, who does he replace? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havnt seen him play more than a couple of games so im not in a position to judge his quality. I Didn't mean to imply he was crap, but he is young and will naturally have periods of poorer play. To be forced to play him through these periods, keep g other able players out of the team is what I have a problem with! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure that would completely rule out a bit for jack as it's decent positions according to the forum i was following. However it would take away the pressure to make any panic signing.

Hopefully it's because we are yet to buy centre backs, so he's just filling in for now. We have Chester and Elphick...surely those are the first two. I know Elphick didn't play the last friendly, but hopefully that was just because he's not long back from a bad injury. The u23s all look a bit slight for me atm.
