If we get firm interest I would get rid, he is hardly irreplaceable. He certainly isn't but numbers wise, he still needs replacing and as shown in the previous post it's still 5 goals from somewhere Link to post Share on other sites

Wing is not going to feature heavily in Warnock's plans this season, and he wants to play regularly. He's signed an extension to his contract with the aim of going out on loan and hopefully doing well enough to earn a first team spot next season. It's not that difficult to understand. I believe Stewy Downing went out on loan to Sunderland the same way and did well and was brought back Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it is a fruitless effort...a lot of work must go into a foreign player signing 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Think its all to do with how they are owned etc. I think its fair to say Payero deal is all but done but has still taken a couple of weeks to try and negotiate final details 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Paterson is an option attacking wise for us too, I know he hasn't massively impressed but he has had an injury and generally has grabbed goals and assists from midfield. Last season he only got 3 goals 2 assists in 20 games but previously 19/20 7 goals, 4 assists 18/19 5 goals, 4 assists 17/18 5 goals, 8 assists On a free, I'd take him Link to post Share on other sites

The Muniz talks have been taking place in Lisbon. Muniz isn't actually there, his representatives are. Link to post Share on other sites

I count 27 goals and 17 assists (including Akpom) so if we include Payero as part of the new signings (excluding Pelts) last season the 4 players in (compared to 6 out) contributed 18 goals and 18 assists, so as long as the 2 additional forwards (ST and Winger) contributed more than 9 goals in their respective teams, we're better placed - and are spending considerably less Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,238 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The Gazette make a good point today. If our most effective systems is wing back orientated, why haven’t we been recruiting specialist wing backs and why is Djed Spence available for transfer? I’m not his biggest fan by a long stretch but RWB suits his attributes down to the ground. Begs the question are we putting up with a wing back solution until we recruit players more suited to a 433? Seems like we’re no where near ready for next season. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

We have so many midfielders it wouldn’t really make sense to go 5 at the back in my opinion Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Much like last season I think it'll depend on what the opposition play. I think you'll see the 5 when he wants to match opponents or the opponents play a lot up top. When vs 1 up top it'll be a 433 I think. NW has said repeatedly he doesn't like the 3 CBs vs 1 ST so think we'll see the 433 quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites

Surely we are best 4141 with an anchor (morsey) and then two drivers tav and Payero and then two proper wingers. Link to post Share on other sites
