You've said this a number of times, but when has he made this clear? Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 In Warnock teams which have gone up, what type of creative player has he had? In my head I want us to sign a CAM, but maybe Warnock sees the creativity from the wide areas instead? Link to post Share on other sites

He mentioned the importance of the spine and that some of the young ones already at the club were exciting. I took it as @Neverbefore. I’d imagine though that if he gets the opportunity to add pace on the wings through a transfer deal he will take it. Link to post Share on other sites

In my head I want us to sign a CAM, but maybe Warnock sees the creativity from the wide areas instead? Just had a look QPR = Adel Taraabt Cardiff = no standout CAM, but plenty of lw and rw options. (Pilkington, Mendez Laing, Hoilett) Hoilett was the top scorer with 9. So maybe we won’t see again a creative midfielder as Warnock hasn’t really relied on that type of traditional CAM like a Gaston. He tends to go for box to box midfielders to get further forward whilst having wingers. Not really anything that people will be surprised with in terms of his tactics, but I would seem it very unlikely we would sign a creative player as a CAM. More likely to get the wingers from the Prem market as he has already identified. Roberts would be a good shout, but I have a feeling he will go elsewhere. Not sure which other wingers in the prem/championship would be surplus. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Thor Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Patrick Roberts has rejected a move back to Boro according to my sources, I will keep the board in the loop with any updates Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Regardless of if we sign Roberts we would still need another one. Ideally you need 2/3 solid creative players. We only seem to ever get one creative player which means that player is under so much pressure to create for the team and we're often rely to much on just one player. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't think we should expect it. Link to post Share on other sites

In the premiership we were missing at least 2, maybe even 3. Link to post Share on other sites

The spine of the team isn’t necessarily the middle of the pitch. I’d argue that Messi is THE spine of Barcelona but he is more of a creative wide man most of the time. The spine can just be 4-5 of the most important players on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites
RiversideRed 1,216 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I don't expect anything with the recruitment team we have. The whole setup is a total shambles and has been for years now. The club is so out of touch with modern football and don't seem to have any plan on catching it up. Link to post Share on other sites
