Essuuaitch 330 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 as it stands the central defender is maybe the most pressing position we need filling. Shotton is a liability in there, Ayala will pick up injuries and bans and Fry is going to attract attention which eventually may well be too good to turn down. also the new guy needs to be a regular starter or on a par with fry and ayala at the very least . we do need a rb and rw too and a striker if can manage it.

No chance in my humble opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,052 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Talking about Clayton .. Do we need a player of his type as back up? Or can Howson or McNair fill in? They are not similar to Clayton's style, so we might need that type for this new system... If he God forbid got injured Link to post Share on other sites

I think we definitely need someone else. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TAPOUT 361 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just now, Mr_Maz said: McNair? Possibly. I haven’t really seen enough of him in midfield to know. Saville and Howson for me would be a definite no though. Link to post Share on other sites

edinboro 804 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I think we will get a cheap right back, possibly Hutton, and loans for a winger and centre back. Getting too late for significant long term signings now. I feel for those we've missed out on. We are a great club and have what looks to be a good coaching team The lad who's gone to Reading has been sold a dud. Link to post Share on other sites

Dynamo Kev 1,552 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 dont think we need another cb personally, well at least not as a priority. we have ayala and fry likely first choice which is about as good as you get in the champo. shotton and friend as backups. friend bola and coulson at left back, might see george play in the middle more. which i'm totally fine with as its good to have a left footer on left cb. the attacking right back is priority with a cm and a shotton covering until we get a genuine one. cant just hoy spence in. especially while we have new blood on the other side. deffo need a attacking mid, if wing is injured where are the goals coming from? i dont rate saville at all, tbh i dont even know what he supposed to bring to the team. he doesnt move the ball quickly at all just ambles round. hes average af. never mind monk tranfers being questioned flint and saville ones smell of back handers to me. another winger needed, johnson and browne with fletch capable. not enough at all. once we have the new winger fletch will probably be cover for britt mainly. bomb gestede out asap and saville please. not a real priority but i'd like to sell shotton, pulling my hair out watching him bomb long balls or completely waste possession giving a simple pass straight to the other team. ***.
