NegativeBoroFan 3 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Bit of an update on the bloke on Twitter who claims were close to signing a number 10. @Kins810: 26 year old. Mostly been playing no10 can roam across either wing though. Freeman from QPR is the only realistic player I can think of who fits that profile. Jota? I know he's not really a number 10, but he has been playing there, I think. I think Jota is 27? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Tom Carroll, Ezgjan Alioski, Luke Freeman, John Fleck, Romaine Sawyers, they all fit the age factor. Not saying it's realistically any of those but those are the closest 26 year olds I can find in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I know freeman had a good season but would he really be good enough for a promotion going team? I know nothing about him other than he's at QPR. Link to post Share on other sites

BoroYorkie 94 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Luke Freeman played most games last season as an attacking midfielder for qpr but before that he was a LW. Good season at AM though 5 goals 13 assists. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Jamie Paterson also fits the description but he played most of last season on the left Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I asked the lad who gives me snippets if he has heard much of incoming players... were concentrating on a LW as priority and trying find a ST with more pace then we currently have. Also hinted that we are trying to get Adama on a new contract... Link to post Share on other sites

Good season at AM though 5 goals 13 assists. looking at some highlights when at bristol city, looks comfortable on the ball, plays with his head up, takes set pieces. down side doesnt look very quick and is small. i prefer bigger lads in this league. preferably very athletic as you need that vs the athletes you come up against in the prem.

Not saying it's realistically any of those but those are the closest 26 year olds I can find in the Championship. tom carroll plays mainly cm occasionally on the flank, Ezgjan Alioski, plays as a left or right midfielder, Luke Freeman mainly an AM or RW rarely played left, John Fleck is a CM can play AM and LM, Romaine Sawyers only played central as a AM SS or CF. Going by the rumors from itk folk we are after a left winger. i'd say we are not after any of these if thats the case, although a faster striker could be sawyers. Link to post Share on other sites

Tudders80 674 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised to see us make a move for Nick Powell. Young enough at 24, 6ft+, decent with the ball at his feet. Puts in a decent shift, good on a set piece and probably a better passer than any of our midfielders. Chips in with goals too. Link to post Share on other sites
