Tom 2,492 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 That's fine, clearly Pulis doesn't think much of McNair in that case unless he's coming in for Howson? Wonder where all of that leaves Puncheon? I think McNair was signed largely because he can play in so many positions. I imagine if we get all our targets, McNair will be on the bench more often than not when everyone's fit, as he's a good utility man to have. But it's a long season, I still imagine he'd make 20/30 appearances. It's a squad game, as we keep being told. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,007 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I doubt he expected howson to start so well or he’d be out by now. Hopefully we can get leadbitter out the door Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,104 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I think the best thing is that our current squad has proven it can put results together as it is. If we can make signings that improve the first XI, we know we're stocked for an inevitable injury crisis. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nixon doesn't seem as sure as everyone else that it's close, reading between the lines he still thinks Villa are interested. Link to post Share on other sites
nunthorpered 1,922 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nixon doesn't seem as sure as everyone else that it's close, reading between the lines he still thinks Villa are interested. Uh oh. And it starts again. Hope we don't miss out again Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Liverpool Echo: Bolasie has held talks today with Boro but is going to hold talks with Villa in the next 24 hours before he makes his decision. ** Should add they say we're favourites and are confident but Villa have entered and he's open to talks with them in the next 24 hours Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,007 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nixon doesn't seem as sure as everyone else that it's close, reading between the lines he still thinks Villa are interested. hopefully Pulis and having his m8 Britt here give us some sort of edge..

Borodane 6,301 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ultimately it will probably come down to who offers Everton the best deal. But hopefully pulis can be the deciding factor. Link to post Share on other sites
jamesp 125 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Do villa actually have targets of their own Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 maybe That’s where the puncheon interest has come from then. ***ing villa, honestly could see him moving there just because he’d rather live in Birmingham than move up here. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Actually update, Nixon was asked if he was asked to place a 10p bet where Bolasie ends up he did say Boro. Link to post Share on other sites

Just reading his feed there and seen sheff Utd trying to get Scott hogan, I could imagine villa needing to shift him/only letting him go if they get bolasie. Could be one to watch out for anyway.

Brunners 7,982 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wan-Bissaka just picked up a straight red card - makes Ward unlikely you'd think. Link to post Share on other sites

We were linked with Puncheon before the whole Bolasie stuff today I'm sure, plus those two have played together before under Pulis at Palace I think? Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 331 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wan-Bissaka just picked up a straight red card - makes Ward unlikely you'd think. I fully thought Ward was unlikely anyway personally. He's always in the matchday squad and plays plenty of football, and signed a 3yr contract extension a month ago. Martin Kelly would be a better bet. Link to post Share on other sites
