Foogle 2,078 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 LW would be my priority above all else. Then another CM or number 10, if Fabio stays I'm not too concerned with Fullbacks but a new face there would be welcome. Link to post Share on other sites
Pork Slops 576 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 ayala and flint last season - 15 goals gestede the last 3 and a half year- 13 goals Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Randolph Shotton Ayala Flint Friend Adama Howson Clayton Mcnair ??? Britt / Bamford or Gestede Happy with that as our starting 11. Left wing now a huge priority. Hopefully with Gibson going we can sign someone pretty decent. Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,219 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just out of interest, if Flint hadn't scored a few goals what would people make of the signing? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just out of interest, if Flint hadn't scored a few goals what would people make of the signing? Happy, I've watched him play a few times and have always thought he's a good defender first and foremost. The effect at the other end is a positive but its secondary to why I'm happy we've signed him. Link to post Share on other sites
Pork Slops 576 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just out of interest, if Flint hadn't scored a few goals what would people make of the signing? little bit slow and leggy at times, seems to tire in big intense games so probably need to work on his fitness a lot this summer but when on form he's like a rio/woodgate for me knows he doesn't have the pace massively but makes up for it positionally and can make a last ditch tackle.

Foogle 2,078 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just out of interest, if Flint hadn't scored a few goals what would people make of the signing? I would've probably said he's too similar of a style to Ayala as a defender. Wins his duels but isn't very good on the ball, a very Pulis like defender. But if you do factor in his goals and add it to ours we'd be on the same goal difference as Cardiff... Link to post Share on other sites
ManBearPig 1,833 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Flint always seemed to be someone who could soak up alot of pressure that Bristol got and I'd describe him as our version of Ayala. If a ball is going in their box, 9/10 flint is going to win it. He isn't the best across the floor but positional and set pieces really good at both ends. Always seem to be very vocal on the pitch and we need more leaders on the pitch for me anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Yes, we're basically going to have 2 Ayalas. He has thee same strengths, but I'm slightly concerned that he has the same weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites
boroie 484 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 LW, attacking CM (for the 3), and LB/RB. CF if either of Britt or Bam goes. Cover for RW would be good also. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 LW, attacking CM (for the 3), and LB/RB. CF if either of Britt or Bam goes. Cover for RW would be good also. More or less this. Link to post Share on other sites
Teacider 108 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 LW, attacking CM (for the 3), and LB/RB. CF if either of Britt or Bam goes. Cover for RW would be good also. Agreed, though hoping the RW cover will be Chapman or Tav if they step up Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Third hand information, admittedly, but a lad who works with my cousin is adamant that we've had a bid accepted for Adomah. He apparently "hears stuff" every now and again. Take it with a pinch of salt if you'd like, but just passing it on. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My top five priorities would be: #1 LW #2 LW #3 LW #4 LW #5 LW Someone made a great point earlier, that a quality LW is going to help Friend. Have a rep point whoever you are. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyBoro 373 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The 6ft+ XI: 5-2-3 Randolph Shotton Ayala Gibson Flint Friend McNair De Sart Bamford Gestede Fletcher :D And that's not even including 6 ft 4 Dael Fry Link to post Share on other sites
