Owls77 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I will reserve judgement on Fox until I have seen him play! I am sure if two top 10 sides are after him he must be a good player. £700,000? I thought our last offer in August was towards 2 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuki_San Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 We have nobody to cover the left wing if Reach has to play at LB. We don't want FF playing there, he's too important. I think it'll be Fox & Pudil for LB. Urby will be out of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 3 minutes ago, S_W_F_C said: FFS why are we signing another left back. So basically two of Fox, Pudil or Urby not needed. I'd be happy with one of those with back up from Reach I know it's a season old, and I've already spoke of the potential fallacy of using that squawka rating system... But they reckon Fox was Charlton's worse performing player last season with an average score of -294. To put that into perspective, their next worst -149 Let's hope Squawka's measures really are BS and/or he's improved, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny we have seen players who have failed at S6 go and have great careers elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they can, which is why I always have said they should be used as a way to inform a decision, not make one. And I've always said that overall rating systems are arbitrary, because you take stats which don't always tell the whole story and put them into a computer algorithm with very strict rules to make the whole mess even less clear. As someone else has said, two top-half Championship clubs have been interested in the lad in the last couple of weeks. Clearly something is turning enough heads, and that says more than a year-old somewhat arbitrary scoring system So what's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hunt was down as our worst performer last season with a similar score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Burton Albion's Australian midfielder Jackson Irvine has been in goal scoring form this season, and Wolves have been linked with a move for the midfielder. Rumour has it that Wolves will have competition from Derby County and Norwich for the Aussie, who's bagged eight goals so far this season for the Brewers.

I think you're right, wouldn't surprise me if they're marked in a similar way to CB's with an expectation of lots of headers won and a reasonable passing %. Not fair when your CB has eight inches on you (oo-er) and can shift the ball 15 yards sideways for 90 minutes but you're expected to swing 3 crosses in a game and find an attacker and generally create a little when you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Birmingham City have made enquiries about taking West Bromwich Albion midfielder Craig Gardner on loan until the end of the season. New Blues boss Gianfranco Zola wants to add experience and strengthen in midfield and sees the 30-year-old as a credible option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
