Borodane 6,246 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. Well thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 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’ve never heard of him or this McNair fellow, but if our recruitment team rate them, then they must be good, are they? Link to post Share on other sites

I’m pretty confident these are hand picked by TP Link to post Share on other sites

Dan1234 1,048 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 I'd love this to happen. Seems like the last time we had youngsters coming off the bench was McClaren era. Really irks me if I'm honest that the likes of leadboots and Cranie take up bench spots. I'm sure the majority of fans would prefer to see a Chapman or Fry get minutes in games where we are comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe 3,543 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I’ve seen a hell of a lot of Flint and I’m really happy we’ve signed him. He’s similar to Ayala but much stronger , less irratic and better going forward. They both score goals but Aden will svore many more with his feet. If there’s a issue that concerns me about him is that for some reason he seems to score a few own goals to. Link to post Share on other sites

Out of all the defenders in the Championship, if Pulis was going to pick 2 to have in his team it would be Ayala and Flint. Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point though I think Pulis has already changed how the recruitment team works... club bought Bevington in and I think Pulis is going down tried and tested players if I’m honest Link to post Share on other sites
