Someone about 33/34 years old, who he can sign after the loan deadline is done. Who could that be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 What I wouldn't give for a CB like the amazing great Ugo Ehiogu to come in now, One of the best CB's ever in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would explain why Terry is still to find a new club if he aims to continue. Massive gamble if so. Honestly can't see it being the case, but they way our squad looks atm is very odd. I don't think that Moukoudi was a typical Bruce target. He doesn't like young inexperienced CB's. I guess that he's quite pleased that Harold said no, because it leaves an option to bring in an old "put your boots on and sort it out on the pitch" CB. No coaching needed.

osmark86 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 this is all very surprising of nothing comes out of getting a CB in with Elphick going out. Bruce's best showing was getting us strong at the back last season. if we don't reinforce that position he will lose that and then what do we have? we're not exactly world-beaters in the final third either.

Farlz Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We need a CB far more than another striker. We've made a complete mess of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? saying he's being poorly treated but loves the club and will stay and fight if he's needed. Seems like a valid response for someone who is asked to play full back and winger.

KJT123 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Baffled that we're letting Adomah go. I mean, I would've been more than happy to see him go because I don't think he's very good at all, but why loan Green as well? We're now back to square one in being incredibly light in the wide areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're now back to square one in being incredibly light in the wide areas. I suggested selling Adomah earlier in the window to get money in that we could potentially use on the defense or to help with FFP But that was before we loaned Green out . Loaning him out now is just bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not the best window is it. Very unbalanced squad. Hope we have more business ongoing than Abraham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We'll probably sign another right back to replace him. I have always tried hard to be positive, and signing Abraham will be a big positive. However the general transfer dealing this summer have been completely baffling. We have brought in some good players, but there is no apparent direction of building a balanced team. We tried to sign Bryan, when we were in need of a left back. We then follow up with no left back joining us? We have had a deal for a centre back collapse but we still send Elphick off, and the other options such as Clark and Suliman on loan. Does that mean Bree is now a centre back? We are/have offloaded two of our contracted wingers and replaced with an injury affected albeit excellent winger. However we only have so many loan spots. We send our only contracted keeper who can catch a ball Steer out on loan, when with the current number of loan signings we'd need him on the bench. **** sake, none of it makes any logical sense, its like signing good players for the sake of signing them and sticking them anywhere they'll fit. Exactly what Bruce loves to do. I don't remember ever such an inbalanced squad, even under the likes of O'Neill who loved doing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YLN Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm pretty sure Elphick going on loan is good news. It almost definitely means there's a defender done. They're just preparing the social media bollocks done before they announce. I'll be shocked if that's not the case. Shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
