Junxs Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 The number of people that have said left back is not a priority position for us is laughable. If say its our most priority position. I guess people haven't been watching preseason? We have a new formation that requires a left wing back. I know Hutton played left back last year but he really is not an attacking full back, there's a difference with running forward with the ball and actually doing something with it in the final third. As for Neil Taylor, he really should be sitting next to Richards and McCormack as far as I'm concerned as he's finished as a footballer. We've been playing Green and Adomah at lwb last couple of games. We have kodjia who's had a good preseason and a number of other striking options currently injured, at centre back we have elphick and Jedinak who Bruce looks to have a new position for So for me LWB is our weakest position with the highest priority that needs sorting and would be absolutely delighted if we can sign JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that that Hutton is incapable of doing right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that that Hutton is incapable of doing right? He did that from the right though (and very much a one off), I don't think he could do that on the left as he doesnt seem as adventurous playing there (which was a good thing last season as it meant getting caught out of position a lot less) Plus its asking a lot of a 33/34 year old to get up and down all game long as playing wing back demands Bruce was very experimental in preseason, we saw Hutton at centreback a fair bit, that could be his new position and I think he could do well there, honestly dont want to see him at LWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't believe cash flow will be a problem with our owners, rather remaining within the restraints of FFP me either.

holteend1982 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Bree - axel - Chester - Bryan That's potentially a great back line. I'd want another decent cb if we going with 2 wingbacks and 3 cbs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgo Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Demitri_C said: Yep this is spot on I'm pretty certain Bruce has been told he can only sign younger players, he's already quoted as saying as much. This is in direct contrast to his approach since being here and him constantly saying we need experience etc etc!! I don't know why Bruce IN/OUT debate runs through every thread, but if we are talking him, let's not dress it as he ACTUALLY has just decided to sign young and hungry players, having just quoted this as 'their' (the new owners) vision. Note the 'their part and not 'our' vision. He wanted Terry and Snodgrass again and was told NO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
