smogsterking the Inspirati 2,453 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I wonder if we will consider a change in formation to playing 3 at the back. If Flint comes in, Ayala seems a certainty but Fry has had a great summer and at an age where you would think he will want to be playing more regularly. All assuming Gibson is going. It seems a good deal for us as I'm sure last summer they were talking 10+million for him and he and Bristol have had a pretty decent season you would have expected the value to be around the same possibly higher.

Foogle 2,078 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 They say he's captain in all but the arm band, good to have strong characters coming in if we're losing Leadbitter and Gibson. Not a fan of giving a new signing the armband straight away, thought it was a bit disrespectful giving Terry the captaincy for Villa over any of the players already at the club.

I wondered about the 3 at the back for a bit. But then I thought about how we let Christie go. If we do change to that, I will start to look back at that deal much less positively.

Prowler 197 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Paid *** all attention recent but I am delighted with Flint. Don't actually know a lot about McNair other than him being a United reject :P Link to post Share on other sites
Smoggydownsouth 1,621 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Now a new LB and a LW please. Told we’re looking to get Snodgrass on the cheap for LM/LW Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Now a new LB and a LW please. Told we’re looking to get Snodgrass on the cheap for LM/LW Would be perfect for this side for set piece deliveries. Randolph Shotton ayala flint friend Besic Clayton mcnair Adama gestede snodgrass Get your money on that being our starting line-up on the first game of the season. Not exciting in the slightest, horrible football, but effective is what I'm expecting Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,211 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Surely the transfer thread should be renamed to 'In like Flint?' and then 'Our Man Flint' once we've signed him. How does that date me, Billy? :) Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Now a new LB and a LW please. Told we’re looking to get Snodgrass on the cheap for LM/LW What a quality signing that would be. Seems Cardiff are very keen on it and he wants to play in the Prem so I think we'll have a tough time bringing him in. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/west-ham-cardiff-robert-snodgrass-14820784 Link to post Share on other sites

Humpty 3,238 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Will what's the deal with Gibson's move to Southampton. Waiting on his replacement presumably, if Flint goes through I’d expect the Gibson transfer to be finished by the end of next week at the latestz Hearing there’s been no contact for Gibson at all to date.

I’m with you not liking new signings being captain. But it’d be stupid signing the Chelsea and England captain and not giving him the arm band Link to post Share on other sites

Really? I sincerely doubt that, at best maybe not a significant offer but no contact at all is very difficult to believe. Not even tentative enquiries? What Will has been saying I've seen said at the Southampton end too, from 2 or 3 people. Link to post Share on other sites

My info is from the Southampton end as I said last week, multiple different people have said the same as well, both on here and Southampton forums. Possibly being kept quiet at our end to get Flint through the door at an uninflated price. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 On the captain talk, I'm pretty sure it'll be George or Clayts. Link to post Share on other sites
Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Can you imagine a set piece routine with McNair, flint, Ayala and gestede on the pitch - Pulis' dream... And to be honest not something I'd want to be up against weare going to be a nightmare from corners and indirect free kicks this season. if we keep our free kick machine adama. we be banging them in every game from set plays. foritieri link makes sense now, he loves a dive, would increase our freekicks each game. ::D Link to post Share on other sites
