oldishowl Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Our midfield got completely outplayed in both playoff games. There is every chance Abdi will improve it. In the last game I saw him play for us , away to Forest, he was outstanding and scored a great goal. Not a regular occurrence from our central midfielders this season If he gets 100% fit , and stays fit there is every chance he will improve us. Of course a change of system would help him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Because when fully fit and played to his strengths he is head and shoulders above anything we have in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love this to happen and for Abdi to suddenly produce top draw performances for us. But I cannot fathom for a second what people have seen to suggest that this WILL happen. I would like nothing more than a top draw midfielder that we don’t even need to spend money on as he is already at the club. However, I have not seen anything from him to suggest that WILL happen. Surely this is simply a case of Wednesday fans wanting a fashionable big money signing to get into the side. It’s a bit pathetic really. Again, I would love nothing more than for Abdi to suddenly be a top class championship midfielder. Because we have faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 it seems he needs to play central if he is to shine but we all know that if lee & bannan are fit they play so it's not looking good for him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where Carlos needs to earn his money, he needs to either change the formation or have the balls to drop Bannan who for me has been very very hit and miss all season.

I think abdi needs bannan to pick up an injury and then make himself undroppable but that would be hard for him to do if carlos continues with the cautious approach of last season .....

It was only Port Vale at home at the start of last season but from what I saw of him in that game made me realise we had a very good player , he bossed that game for me , nothing outstanding just good forward movement and simple passing , and I was well impressed , still waiting though a year on !!!!

Abdi gave the ball away a lot and was incredibly lightweight in a 2 man midfield So you just don't like Abdi then is that it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Surely he can't have had a worse season in his career so things can only get better, a good pre season will be a massive boost to all concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickledegghiderman Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Lets face it, none of our better players are really suited to a rigid 4-4-2 formation. So carlos either changes the system to accommodate players like abdi or he goes out and signs players who are suited to the tactics. Switching to a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation would probably get the best out of our creative players or even a 3-5-2 would allow our players like reach and hunt and hutchinson( in central defence) to flourish. Carlos needs to challenge for top 2 next season or it will be a failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Because he'll have a full pre season in him hopefully and he's ripped this division apart before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Lets be fair, there wasn't a Wednesday fan alive who wasn't chuffed when we signed him. With tactics, injuries and some flashes of brilliance its all been very frustrating. If he can get over his injuries and Carlos plays to his strengths then it will be like a new signing for us.

ashamanic Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 You can say that about any player any club buys "sure he was great at his old club but what makes you think he didn't lose all his ability when he transferred?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a little bit of a silly notion, he was great for Watford but we signed him and he lost all his ability. You don't become a bad player over night.
