I personally don't think we will sign any wide man at all. This is what happened at Stuttgart, Jos didn't want wide men, Chairman bought wide men, Jos refused to play them and walked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Well if there’s any truth in that McKay article, the last time I saw him play he’s definitely an out and out winger , can shift a bit aswell tidy little player if memory serves and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forestieri and Matias are about as wide as it gets. Any wide man we do sign will also have to be able to play through the middle as well. Be no Caulk on your boots type wingers here.

Yeah, I’d agree with them points if we did sign an out and out winger I’d be thinking either a nod towards a change of system, or I’d be worried who’s signing the players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No signings and lack of funds suggests no one is in a rush to sign anyone. Think we get 2 players on loan and that is it. Will get rid of about another 5.

Bluesteel Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) Mckay was an odd one last season, perhaps a bit like one or two of the flair players Leeds signed, he looked quality for the first couple of months. Really direct and scored a couple of nice goals, then seemed to go into hibernation. we clearly have a list of targets we will have asked about should we make some room. But it doesn’t sound like we’ve made that room so presumably our best hope is subsided loans Edited July 22, 2018 by Bluesteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjack27 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Think McKay would provide that injection of pace we’re desperately lacking, could definitely change the game off the bench. I wouldn’t be against him coming in could be shrewd business season long loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that I mean he looks to simply run at goal and benefits from the space out wide, whereas I always thought an out and out winger was more like what Wallace offered us in terms of delivery from wide rather than being the one trying to score. All about opinions though I suppose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All about opinions though I suppose! I’ve only seen him once or twice, you could be more on the money than me He looked to me like he had a fair bit of pace about him, and to be fair I don’t think anyone would argue with us adding some of that Zac Clough and Mancienne available at Forest aswell, Clough has gone massively off the boil from looking like he was a real prospect , Mancienne was a regular last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, Highlights videos can be deceiving but he looks a player to me , he’s fast he’s not afraid to take a man on and looks like he’s got a brilliant eye for a pass Just wouldn’t fit into the system we play, a front 3 of Forestieri on left Fletch in middle and a player like McKay on right would open up some defences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think his preferred system is 4231 (used in Germany) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) He’d play in a front 3 on a rotation system out wide with Forestieri Joao Matias I would think and he would add quality and be a threat I really do rate McKay and if he’s available on a loan with a view to buy I say go for it I’ve said before and I’ll say it again him FF and a big man would be lethal or him coming on FF or replacing him in rotation is pure quality in depth we also have is it 3 strikers out of contract next year Joao , Hooper , Mathias so this would slip into replace one or two of them nicely As for the man city trio genuine question how are those commenting knowing sonics of them with confidence of them being potential quality signings. I’ve barley heard of them never mind seen them play as anyone got any of the over sold best bit videos of them Edited July 22, 2018 by fpowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, we only have Forestieri, Joao and Matias who can play as wide forwards in a 3-4-3...maybe he's looking for another option? Or maybe it's just utter b0ll0cks.

Personally I think a front 3 with Fletch down the middle and FF and McKay either side could be something worth watching Joao and Nuhiu in reserve, with Hooper and Winnall to come back , plethora of options Edited July 22, 2018 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think at the moment he's last in the pecking order. Joao and Nuhiu deserve to start on merit. Also, Matias has great potential (if fit) not many players at the club read the game so well.

I think we must have a list of players we need to be ready to try and get should we be able to and I think another option/more pace makes sense. But I reckon we may struggle to create the budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
