Leaving Stoke. 14 goals in 19 full appearances for Barcelona. 14 goals in 41 full appearances for Stoke. Career total 40 goals in 91 full appearances. Other clubs included Ajax, Roma and Milan. Cost Stoke £3million if they want their money back. A lot cheaper than JR. He'd be a world beater in this league but no chance he'll drop down to it. Been linked with several Prem clubs (Middlesbrough among others) and he'll attract plenty of interest from abroad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he of signed, I think him and Reach down out left hand side would have been a great combo. Is Bennett getting game time at Cardiff? Played superbly against Villa last time out. Would still love him for us, thought he looked a very solid and dependable player at this level with years in front of him, which is useful given Pudil'a age.

We lose too much with Reach being the cover there not least because it's really not helping him settle into the team properly when he's clearly been bought primarily as a left winger (a position we lack if Reach is covering LB).

Reach playing wide left means an end to Forestieri playing there, which is good news I suppose. With Hooper ready to add goals from the bench, there is no room for Rhodes.

True, but the way we play none of the front 3 (or wide players + Forestieri) hold their positions, at times Reach was starting on the left wing and drifting to the right wing, drifting to the centre etc which I think helps to keep the opposites confused, it's similar to how Liverpool and sometimes Stoke play their front three and can be extremely effective.

Yeah, thats why I always favoured 4-3-3, with a fluid front line. Unlikely to do that with two wingers though, or a 4-4-2 system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not, Hunt and Palmer are decent enough competition for the right back spot, Hunt is suspect defensively and Palmer is suspect offensively but they've both played in how many clean sheet performances? We tied our clean sheet record in consecutive seasons with those two at right back, I think they're ok there for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shezza Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I bet Fox will be at least as good as Bennett was. Linked to several teams in the prem last year. Hopefully just needs to get going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Is Lewis Baker out on loan anywhere? Would love him to have another go here if we're not going to give Abdi a chance. Goal scoring midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tied our clean sheet record in consecutive seasons with those two at right back, I think they're ok there for now. Not good enough for the way Carlos wants to play it. He likes his full backs on the overlap, both are capable of this but there end product is absolutely dire. Neither can cross a ball, don't think either of them have scored a goal or made an assist in a Wednesday shirt (Palmer scored one years ago when he was a youngster). Palmer is solid enough back up option, works hard and good defensively. Hunt is poor in my eyes, fortunately for him his pace saves him a lot of the time from his defensive errors. We need better at right back, been saying it for over a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlZfan84 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 We desperately need better options at right back IMO. Hunt has been really disappointing this season. He looks the shadow of himself. Palmer is adaquete back up, but neither are nowhere near enough for a top 6 Championship side IMO. Neither has no end product either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.. Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 So according to Wednesday fans, the squad's too big, needs trimming, we have only one out and out left back (that Carlos will choose from), but let's sign a third right back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
