Obviously nothing has happened yet but credit to the club for targeting the right sort of players. Agree about Clayton... someone deep who can both break up opposition play and pick up the ball from our centre halves could be key this year. He was redundant in whatever that abomination of a formation was last year. Imagine if we could have kept Mikel though.... Am I the only one who thought Mikel was bang average? He had a great few games sure, but after that he just faded 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He turned us down for WBA in January but any offensive player probably was not overly excited at playing under TP.

Skinemrippers 895 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Excited by these two targets. Fingers crossed we can get them over the line Link to post Share on other sites
mj south 613 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 No nothing about Marc Bola, what he like? Attacking full back? Link to post Share on other sites

Blackpool fans seem to be very disappointed to see him leave. Won their player of the year I think. Very attacking left back Link to post Share on other sites

He's been a solid performer for us, deserves much more credit than he gets I am with you on this SNC as we did see glimpses of what he can actually do given the right circumstances. Ok he does tend to over run the ball at times but that can improve, had our set pieces and those we thought would score last season had been better I believe he would have had a healthy "goal assist" to his name. Plus on a few occasions he did get in some decent scoring positions. If I am able to get behind Clayton then hopefully a few might recognise that Shotton is not as bad as some folk infer 4 Link to post Share on other sites
2plus2 290 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) If we sign Bola I get the feeling the Coulson might be one of our wing options, perhaps being 1 of 4 vying for those attacking positions. 4 or so of; Browne, Diangana, Boye, Coulson, Johnson, Walker. Reading and Bola vying for left-back. Dijksteel and Howson vying for right-back. That would be some transformation from our touted options a few weeks back! With the central core of the team being already pretty strong (minus perhaps one more centre-back needed), I'm feeling a bit more optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites

Every time I see him play he doesn’t really do much. Whether that was our style of play I don’t know. he doesn’t have raw pace or particularly good dribbling so as mentioned he’s not really a winger. Hopefully he proves me wrong and has a good season. I partly agree in that I don’t think he’s a winger either and better suited more centrally. But it I think he could have a big season. He was pretty effective last season in his very limited opportunities. Don’t know the stats but he got a fair few goals and assists from not a lot of playing time. Link to post Share on other sites

If we get 2 full backs in then we're fine there and have the following CBs Fry Ayala Friend Shotton Wood Stubbs So we're fine at the back. Woodgate has said he wants a centre half though Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,982 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 As someone else mentioned it is seriously refreshing to see us going after realistic, exciting players for positions of actual need. I'm not used to this. Link to post Share on other sites
