The Night-Owl Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 1 minute ago, SiJ said: We need someone at the back who can play a bit. I suppose Hutchinson could do this, but him and Lees as a partnership hasn't impressed imo. Lees is a great defender, but his footballing ability is somewhat lacking and Loovens is just too slow at recycling the ball (and I'm a big fan of Glenn). If we want to playing this controlled style of football, then we need someone at the back who can start attacks. A player comfortable on the ball who pass short and long with accuracy. Too often last season Lees would pick the ball up, come forward 10-15 yards and then punt it in the general direction of whoever was up top. I agree, and going off the links, that seems to be the type of centre back we're targeting. The likes of Bartley; Hanley, Ayala, Morrison and Keogh, etc. All seem powerful and comfortable on the ball. Although seemingly unlikely, someone like Bartley or Ayala would be ideal. A quality defender like that, comfortable on the ball, might help us not play so deep and not have to resort to playing it long too and get back to playing the attacking and pressing game we played in Carlos' first season.

BRADDO Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 If we are considering players like him, may as well keep Sasso. He's certainly not an improvement in any way. Hopefully a non story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I know it was League 1 but he played in a side for us that got automatic promotion. Some Players just fit a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Barth Vader would use the power of the dark side to get us promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave78 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We need better than Batth imo. He would have been good back up last season, but we really need to be signing players to improve the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls77 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Was very good for us back in 2012 but now we need much better, he would not improve us, if I am being honest Sasso is better than him and he has moved on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 26 and a bit of a unit... Batth and Lees at the back , could be a force to be reckoned with ? Prefer a shower mi sen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, but since Wolves are looking to move him on, then playing as an ever-present in a side that won automatic promotion from League One (as he did for them also) clearly isn't criteria they value - so why should we?

Mr. Chow Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 We need someone that's been and done it. Hanley or Bartley for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been looking for a centre-half for more than 12 months and in all honesty we don't look any nearer to landing one. Batth maybe the answer, he maybe not? As has been pointed out countless times on here there was uncertainty when we signed Lees but that worked out and this could too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatahoot Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 No thanks. Would have loved to have signed him at one time, but not any more. we have moved on and improved. He stayed put at Wolves, but has not really improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
