Bluesteel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 For the sake of our massive wage bill I'm starting to hope we steer clear of Rhodes. It must be eyewatering. Given that we appear to be throwing big wages around i hope we are as careful as we say we are re FFP. But assuming we "stay inside the rules" we also need to be wary of making too many signings. If we got Hourihane i think that should be it. I wonder what the final offer to Barnsley was that Howson mentioned in his article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Should we still sign Rhodes too, we're going to have a few unhappy strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls99er Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Reports linking #SWFC with Barnsley midfielder Conor Hourihane are accurate. Is on their radar but told nothing concrete yet.

Rhodes wouldn't bother coming if it meant sitting on the bench, so it'd be 2 of either Winnall, Hooper or Fletcher on there I'd imagine. Would seem very harsh on Hooper too.

Miffed Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Radio Sheffield just mentioned that Winnall has passed a medical and looks set to sign today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this means Forestieri is on the left now, think he's much better there. Only issue is left back then, because I think Reach is a lot better on the left side of midfield than defence.

Bluesteel Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If Rhodes signed we could have the best part of 100k a week in wages sat on the bench/in the stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he does the same job in terms of covering ground and closing down but he does seem to arrive late in the box and make the runs beyond the striker that we have been missing. Agree......Hourihane as completely different player to Lee...I would compare him more to Bannan! I think quite a few of Hourihane's goals are set pieces and long range efforts. Something we seem to lack at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Task Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Carlos referred to missing Lee "running between the lines" post-PNE. I think that's a large part of the reason we've been struggling to move the ball forwads through the middle. Hutch and Bannan are too deep and don't burst forward past the opposition's midfield. Don't know enough about Hourihane to tell if he'd fix this. Is Winnall a Hooper style off the shoulder poacher? I don't know much about him.

More comparable to someone like Deeney I'd say but not as quick. Powerfully in the air, but got good feet too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Would prefer Rhodes but can't argue with Winnalls scoring record the past couple of seasons. Also nice to upset the Barnsley fans:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeakOwl Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 With Winnall being good in the air, think it might be Fletcher who's place is under threat, rather than Hooper, though I'd imagine CC will integrate Winnall gradually. Hopefully we'll see FF on the left now, and with Macca on the right, that's some forward line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
