MrTacoSWFC Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Wonder who else is a potential target if we don't land hourihane.. I just think they are determined to let him go to anyone but us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Maybe someone like Jordon Mutch. A different kind of player but a box to box one. Will be a shame to miss out on Hourihane out of dingle spite if that's the case. Edited January 19, 2017 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 As I've said before, I reckon Hourihane could have done a job for us. If it isn't going to be Abdi, we need to look for someone who can do a similar job. It's a case of finding the right blend that allows us to unshackle our creative players. At the moment, our creative, and most dangerous players, are hamstrung because they are being asked to do too many mundane tasks. A classic example is Reach. Did we really pay that sort of money for someone who can give Pudil some cover down the left? Of course, we need all our players to work hard, and defend from the front, but not at the expense of our attacking game. Ironically, Carlos's belated decision to use Hutchinson as an enforcer, might start to free up the players further forward. Now, from a solid platform in midfield, our forward thinking players can now start to give the opposition problems. We need someone to orchestrate that, and it appears it's not McGugan, and if it's not going to be Abdi, then a player like Hourihane is crucial.

Can't say I've seen that in his game, for me he's been a creative attacking midfielder prone to going missing for large spells of a game and not really putting a shift in, someone in the McGugan mould.
