onefurlongout Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Maybe one Lees or VA have had a set back? An 18 month loan would be good as this guy has potential to be a superstar (according to my Man City pal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The rise of the three young lads we’ve got could’ve got them a move. Or he might want to shift Pudil to left wing back. Theres a multitude of reasons to why we’re in for him. Chances are though he’ll be coming to play, not sit on the bench. City are one of the few that fine clubs that bench their loan players.

Lee's isn't even back in the squad yet, neither is Van Acken, And Loovens is a liability. Given how weak we have been defensively all season, any strengthening in this department is welcome. We have weakness in the full back areas, but if we only have a loan or two to come in, I would not be bringing in a 8th first team center back, we have seen the problems having too many players for one position has caused the strikers department. If O'Grady and Neilson are lined up to go out on loan to league 1 or 2 for the rest of the season then bring him in, but only if Man City are paying the majority of his salary. In 4 games under Jos we have concede 1 og, he builds from the back and when players are fit will most likely switch to his favoured formation of 4-2-3-1 so only 2 center backs will be needed with 2 back up. We currently have Lees, Loovens, Van Aken, Venancio, Ogrady, Thorniley, Neilson. Yes 3 of these are youngsters but Thorniley cannot be loan out unless Acrington have him back and I have seen nothing of anyone leaving on loan. Lees and van Aken are back in training and the other 5 are fit - to sign a 8th center back seems very strange without any departures. We will wait and see.

No matter who owns us or who's in charge. The club just seems allergic to putting trust in its young players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyowl Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 argghh why are we still signing players in areas where we are quite comfortable (Lees & JVA on way back) & neglecting areas where we are quite desperate? Morgan Fox is our only left wing back & he's not a full back. Palmer playing LWB last 30 mins v Reading empathises this Hope we are still in the market to strengthen in this positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 No thanks. The kid has not even played a senior football league game. And at £25,000 wages per week, I’d rather we kept away from throwing money around like its confetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loovens is unfortunately looking slow and a bit of a liability these days, Fred for me is still unproven against the better teams in this league. Despite our recent improved results, remember Reading had 2 clear one on ones against us and it could have been game over !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
