Borodane 6,297 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 We’re currently playing with a midfielder in defence and have a 16 year old Wood as backup with Shotton injured. Getting a defender in seems fairly reasonable. That said we obviously need pace and creativity. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,280 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Yeah, bear in mind we still never replaced Flint. Still, bringing in only Gibson could be... problematic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As others have said, we do actually need another CB. It's all about whether it's Ben Gibson, or Ben Gibson AND some attacking players. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

How about we sign some attacking players that allows woodgate to go back to his favoured 433 then at best we may need a short term cover Cb. Not waste our supposed tiny budget on someone who is on huge wages comparatively and pretty much would need the rest of the season to get up to speed in anyways. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure Ben would need that long to get back up to speed. He knows the club inside out, and I'm sure he'd rebuild his partnership with Ayala pretty quickly. Providing his wages aren't indecent, it's a good move all round. (Let's ignore the fact that leaving for Burnley was a bad move in the first place, even if it seemed sensible at the time.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Well yes, we do, we are so short at cb we have played a midfielder there for the last 4 games because we have ONE injured cb. Our backup cb is 17 years old. Yes, we do need a cb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Technically speaking, we played a midfielder there because the manager insists on playing three central defenders even when we don't have them available. I suspect Friend is viewed as a central defender as well but really who knows. Trying to understand how people at this club think is a sure fire way of driving yourself insane. Selling Randolph to fund lots of loan signings would be a bit short sighted. Link to post Share on other sites

If you go back to the Mowbray era he was told there was no money for transfers then Gibson went out and brought Woodgate back to the club behind Mowbray's back. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,493 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Is it possible Gibson might be coming in on loan to replace Ayala who might be sold in January and we will then look to replace Ayala more long term in summer? Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,339 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Alexander Milosevic according to someone on another forum but that would be January not in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites

He'd be on a free as he left Forest in October so that's no surprise. He also scored against us in April... Link to post Share on other sites
